Options for fisheries management on Lake Nabisojjo

Abstract

Lake Nabisojjo is located in Wakyato sub-county. II is categorised as a minor Lake with an area of 5-6km.The Lake has both indigenous and stocked fish species from Lake Kyoga. The stocking exercise took place two years ago.The stocking exercise of the Lake with fish was however done before any scientific research had been done to appreciate the fishery potential of the Lake and the viability of the commercial fisheries project.The are reasons why research was not carried; bureaucracy in attracting researchers~ the enthusiasm the stakeholders had after losing Lake Kyoga which was a major source of fish and revenue to the District and lack of funds for the district to contract its own researchers
