In a previous report (Gee and Gilbert 1968) an attempt was made toestimate stock densities in the Entebbe area ,of Lake Victoria based oncatch figures obtained in EAFFRO No.1 trawl fitted with a 1" codendand towed at an estimated1.7.knots (probably an underestimate). Theresults were rather discouraging in that the figures obtained for stockdensities were definitely very low. It was felt that the major weaknessof the operations was the trawl net but as it was the only net availableand neither of the authors were expert on the design and constructionof more suitable nets, this particular net had to be used.Pages
