No results found.The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and FAO National Stakeholders’ Workshop on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria was held in Mukono, Republic of Uganda on 8 November 2006. The main objectives of the workshop were to share and include the national stakeholders’ perspectives and concerns that had been provided by national stakeholders at national workshops in the respective Partner States regarding the draft Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity on Lake Victoria and its Basin (RPOA-Capacity). Group discussion led to collective agreement to commit to the draft RPOA-Capacity and to request that the LVFO adopt the draft RPOA-Capacity and forward it to the Council of Ministers of the LVFO for endorsement. This document contains the report of the workshop, the reports of the Regional Task Force’s meetings immediately prior to and following the Regional Stakeholders’ Workshop and drafts of the RPOA-Capacity. This document and the actions adopted by the workshop participants serves as a basis for further work aimed at improving regional fisheries management of fishing capacity. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Socio-economic effects of the evolution of Nile perch fisheries in Lake Victoria: a review 1988
Also available in:
No results found.The fisheries of Lake Victoria have undergone very substantial changes in recent years owing, in particular, to the rapid proliferation of the introduced Nile perch (Lates niloticus). There has been intense controversy over the impact of this introduced predator species on the fisheries of Lake Victoria, especially with respect to the ecological disruption caused on endemic species and its possibly adverse socio-economic consequences. The present review of the socio-economic aspects of the evo lution of the Nile perch fishery shows the impact of Nile perch to have been both profound and ambiguous. Globally, the Nile perch fishery has been so far an exceedingly positive development from an economic benefit and food resource point of view. On the other hand, some serious issues warrant careful consideration and further analysis. These relate to the distribution of benefits, especially with respect to the relative role of artisanal and larger-scale fishery operations, and to the fundamen tal question of sustainability. It is suggested that, under proper management, the fisheries of Lake Victoria and the Nile perch fishery in particular, could continue to provide high yields and substantial benefits for the riparian communities concerned. -

Also available in:
No results found.The First Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and FAO Regional Technical Workshop on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria was held in Dar-Es Salaam, Tanzania, 12 – 14 December 2005. The main objectives of the regional workshop were to raise the importance of managing fishing capacity and effort and discuss strategies that may be used to reduce capacity where necessary as part of taking measures for ensuring long-term sustainable utilization of the fishery resources of Lake V ictoria; to develop and agree on mechanisms for assessing overall capacity on the entire lake; and to highlight the linkages between the management of fishing effort, capacity, and concomitant IUU fishing. The results of the workshop include actions for progressing work on the management of fishing capacity as well as guidance for the development of a Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity on Lake Victoria. This document contains the report of the workshop as well as the papers and input provided by the participants. This document, and in particular, the actions adopted by the workshop participants can serve as a basis for further work aimed at improving regional fisheries management and the management of fishing capacity.
