Abstract

Lake Victoria is the second largest lake in the world. The lake has been having declining fish stocks. However, the latest fish survey, carried out between September and October 2017 indicates that Fish particularly Nile perch has increased from 393,335 metric tonnes to 457,248 metric tonnes this year. In the entire East Africa, fish grown from 0.85 million tonnes in 2016 to 1.12 million tonnes in 2017. Reasons put forward for the increase in Nile perch are due to the fight against illegal fishing, increased education, patrols of water bodies as per [1]. There has also been an increased concern regarding the use of fish finders which deplete the fish stocks but since they regulate they contrast fishing hence increasing the Nile perch [2].
