INTRODUCTION This year has been an extremely busy one for the Joint Fisheries Research Organisation, and the calls on the Organisation’s services have increased. A number of results have been obtained and some new work started. The trend, which started several years ago, of the Organisation forming itself into a series of stations on many of the important or potentially important fisheries, has become very marked. By the end of the year there were five such stations, with a scientist permanently at Mpulungu, Southern Lake Tanganyika, at Kariba, at Nchelenge, Lake Mweru, and at what is still the headquarters of J.F.R.O, Samfya on Lake Bangweulu. The fifth station is the Fish Farm at Fiyongole, near Fort Rosebery. The erection of these stations was essential in order to obtain quickly the information urgently required on these important fisheries, which are, however, so widely separated from each other; it has proved to be much more efficient than any system of frequent long tours from a central headquarters, which are prohibitively expensive, tiring and preclude any possibility of con­ tinuous effort. It has, however, often posed many administrative problems, such as the pro­ vision of housing for scientists and other staff, the provision of launches, scientific apparatus, etc., at each station, on a limited budget. Most of these have now been overcome, and in this respect we are indebted to the Development Commission of the Northern Province of Northern Rhodesia for the financial help, over the past few years, in getting the research station for the important fishery on the Lake Tanganyika established, including the provision of a twenty-nine- foot research launch. Close liaison was maintained during the year with the Joint Fisheries Research Organisa­ tion in Nyasaland, and a meeting was arranged at Nkata Bay of all scientists from both countries in October, just before the Advisory Committee meeting. This was successful and indeed such meetings, as well as frequent visits to the headquarters and its library, are essential to combat the scientific isolation which is a real factor in the life of scientists working usually alone and far from any kindred activities. During the year Mr. T. D. lies, Senior Scientific Officer and Officer in Charge, J.F.R.O., Nyasaland, gave notice of resignation, and left early in the new year to take up an appointment at the Fisheries Laboratory, Lowestoft. Mr. lies joined the J.F.R.O. in early 1954 during the Nyasa survey and remained in Nyasaland after the survey was over to form the first of the J.F.R.O. stations away from headquarters, which he did with success. Mr. Iles’s especial interest was the mathematical treatment of gill-net catches to improve catches and estimate fish populations. Some of his early work in 1954, which will appear in the J.F.R.O. Nyasa Survey Report, was indeed pioneering in this now very important field, and others of his studies have appeared in J.F.R.O. annual reports such as the present issue. The year 1960 is the last full year in which a proportion of the costs of J.F.R.O. in Northern Rhodesia will be paid by the British Government’s Colonial Development and Welfare Scheme, and from the 1st July, 1961, the Organisation will be financed from Northern Rhodesia’s territorial budget. 1 2. ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANISATION IN NORTHERN RHODESIA A.—Report for the year ended 31st December, 1960 Staff ' The permanent establishment remained at full strength throughout the year. In pursuance of the policy of posting scientists as near as possible to the area on which they work, by the end of the year Mr. Harding was assigned to Chilanga in order to work full time on Lake Kariba, Mr. Coulter to Abercorn for work on Lake Tanganyika, while Mr. Bowmaker remained at Samfya to work on Lake Bangweulu. Mr. W. Gay, Fish Farm Supervisor, was on vacation leave for a large part of the year, being replaced by Mr. D. Pretorious, and, on the resignation of this replacement, by Mr. P. Wright. As mentioned in last year’s report, the agreement by the Development Commission to finance a Temporary Zoologist enabled an appointment to this post to be made in 1960. This was Mr. T. G. Carey, who was posted to Nchelenge, Lake Mweru. Soon after appointment, however, Mr. Carey was called up for National Service, and spent four months in the second half of the year in camp. As a result he was not able to start serious work on Lake Mweru until November, 1960, but by the end of the year a research programme on the lake was well under way. In January and February, 1960, Miss Phillida M. Grieveson, a student of zoology at the University of Cape Town, worked for the Organisation at Samfya during her long vacation. She was able to undertake long-needed work on the sorting and labelling of the Organisation’s collection of fish specimens from Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Mr. R. Chisupa, a chemistry student from the University College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, worked at Mpulungu in December, 1960, and January, 1961. He was engaged chiefly in the estimation of oxygen in water samples and the analysis of fish records.

Ndebele-Murisa PhD, Biodiversity and Conservation Biology Department, University of the Western Cape Analysis of temperature, rainfall and evaporation records over a 44-year period spanning the years 1964 to 2008 indicates changes in the climate around Lake Kariba. Mean annual temperatures have increased by approximately 1.5oC, and pan evaporation rates by about 25%, with rainfall having declined by an average of 27.1 mm since 1964 at an average rate of 6.3 mm per decade. At the same time, lake water temperatures, evaporation rates, and water loss from the lake have increased, which have adversely affected lake water levels, nutrient and thermal dynamics. The most prominent influence of the changing climate on Lake Kariba has been a reduction in the lake water levels, averaging 9.5 m over the past two decades. These are associated with increased warming, reduced rainfall and diminished water and therefore nutrient inflow into the lake. The warmer climate has increased temperatures in the upper layers of lake water, the epilimnion, by an overall average of 1.9°C between 1965 and 2009.

    WORKSHOP IN POLITICAL THEORY AND POLICY ANALYSIS 513 NORTH PARK INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLO DMINGTON, IN 47408-3895 U S > Whose Commons? Fishermen, Developmentalists and Conservationists on Lake Malawi by i Anne Ferguson Department of Anthropology Michigan State University Bill Derman Department of Anthropology . Michigan State University , Richard Mkandawire j Department of Rural Development Bunda College of Agriculture, University of Malawi September 15, 1990 Paper prepared for the First International Association for the Study of Common Property: "Designing Sustainability on the Commons", Duke University: September 3-7-30, 1990 Draft. Please do not cite without agreement of | the authors I. Introduction Fish from Lake Malawi are a major source of animal protein for large numbers of people in Malawi and Mozambique, two of Sub- Saharan Africa's poorest countries. It is estimated that fish, supplied by a dynamic and diverse small-scale African fishing industry, contribute seventy percent of animal protein consumed by Malawians per year (Alimoso et al. 1990). In this paper we briefly discuss the scale and social organization of fishing and what we have learned about use rights in the southern and central portions of Lake Malawi. We propose that the open access fishing which exists in these areas has not significantly harmed fish stocks to date, although problems may be emerging. An equal, if not greater, threatjto the fish, fishing and the ecology of Lake Malawi than that posed by open access small-scale fishing originates from developmentalists— internal and external actors advocating large-scale, capital intensive exploitation of the fish and the development of an international tourism industry.

  • Depth Segregation and Diet Disparity Revealed by Stable Isotope Analyses
    Hata et al. Zoological Letters (2015) 1:15 DOI 10.1186/s40851-015-0016-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Depth segregation and diet disparity revealed by stable isotope analyses in sympatric herbivorous cichlids in Lake Tanganyika Hiroki Hata1*, Jyunya Shibata2,3, Koji Omori2, Masanori Kohda4 and Michio Hori5 Abstract Background: Lake Tanganyika in the African Great Rift Valley is known as a site of adaptive radiation in cichlid fishes. Diverse herbivorous fishes coexist on a rocky littoral of the lake. Herbivorous cichlids have acquired multiple feeding ecomorphs, including grazer, browser, scraper, and scooper, and are segregated by dietary niche. Within each ecomorph, however, multiple species apparently coexist sympatrically on a rocky slope. Previous observations of their behavior show that these cichlid species inhabit discrete depths separated by only a few meters. In this paper, using carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stable isotope ratios as markers, we followed the nutritional uptake of cichlid fishes from periphyton in their feeding territories at various depths. Results: δ15N of fish muscles varied among cichlid ecomorphs; this was significantly lower in grazers than in browsers and scoopers, although δ15N levels in periphyton within territories did not differ among territorial species. This suggests that grazers depend more directly on primary production of periphyton, while others ingest animal matter from higher trophic levels. With respect to δ13C, only plankton eaters exhibited lower values, suggesting that these fishes depend on production of phytoplankton, while the others depend on production of periphyton. Irrespective of cichlid ecomorph, δ13C of periphyton correlated significantly with habitat depth, and decreased as habitat depth became deeper.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm this has been indicated in the thesis. Christopher James Doble Date: 27/04/2020 2 Statement of authorship I planned and undertook fieldwork to the Kigoma region of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania in 2016 and 2017. This included obtaining research permits, collecting environmental DNA samples and undertaking fish community visual survey data used in Chapters three and four. For Chapter two, cichlid reference database sequences were sequenced by Walter Salzburger’s research group at the University of Basel. I extracted required regions from mitochondrial genome alignments during a visit to Walter’s research group. Other reference sequences were obtained by Sanger sequencing. I undertook the DNA extractions and PCR amplifications for all samples, with the clean-up and sequencing undertaken by the UCL Sequencing facility. I undertook the method development, DNA extractions, PCR amplifications and library preparations for each of the next generation sequencing runs in Chapters three and four at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility Sheffield. Following training by Helen Hipperson at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility in Sheffield, I undertook the bioinformatic analysis of sequence data in Chapters three and four. I also carried out all the data analysis within each chapter. Chapters two, three and parts of four have formed a manuscript recently published in Environmental DNA (Doble et al.
