Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Up to the 1980s, Lake Victoria in East Africa had very high diversity of fish and other aquatic organisms and a varied ecosystem. Diversity of the biotic communities declined and the ecosystem deteriorated due to excessive fishing pressure, alien fish stockings and ecosystem changes related to poor watershed management. This affected the diversity of the ecosystem, the species and the gene pool. Various efforts have been initiated to conserve and enhance species and genetic diversity by: controlling fishing effort; identifying and protecting endangered species and habitats; mapping and setting up conservation areas; controlling pollution and eutrophication of the fish habitat; and improving information dissemination, policy and institutional framework.
