Concerns have been raised over the sustainability ofthe fisheries resource base of Lake Victoria for sometime. The draft National Fisheries Policy states: "Thekey issues in the fisheries sector are resourcedepletion through overfishing aggravated by use ofdestructive fishing gear and methods" (MAAIF 2000).A fishery is said to be degraded if any or all of the indicators begin to show including decline in catches from the fishery, higher proportion of immature fish in the catch and reduction in the species composition of the catch. Inadequate implementation of fisheries management is considered the main cause of resource degradation. One of the factors identified as constraints to fisheriesmanagement has been lack of involvement of the resource users.Issue/Article Nr
