A Study of the Nile Perch, an Introduced Predator, in the Kavirondo Gulf Lake Victoria: The Report of the Oxford University Nile Perch Project 1983

Abstract

This project is an investigation of the changes that the Nile Perch (Lates niloticus (L.), Pisces: Centropomidae), an introduced predator, has wrought in the ecology of the Kavirondo Gulf, Lake Victoria, East Africa. It involved a review of the past ecological investigations carried out on Lake Victoria, by the East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organisation since 1949 (Reported in Ann Rep E Afr Freshw Fish Res Org 1949-1974), and, more recently by the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute.
