The ADP Fisheries Survey of Lake Kyoga is charged with a stock-assessment programme. The term stock-assessment is generally used to exp~ess the need of fisheries managers for knowledge on fish stocks which are allegedly over-exploited already. stock-Assessment can be very comprehensive, costly and time-consuming. Essentially however, investigations into exploited stocks and the fishery should provide viable answe~s to the questions of management at the shortest possible notice. Surveys should in any case p~ovide indications concerning the rate of exploitation. That requires the execution of a catch assessment survey (CAS). CAS is done by sampling from the fishermens catches and the extrapolation of results from that sampling to the entire fishery. Therefore, a CAS programme.requires reliable data on the volume and distribution of fishing effort. There is thus a need for a census prior to the desi~n and execution of any CAS programme. 2. CENSUS METHODS ----_.._..-.......---- 2.1: G£n~r~L-9..!L.£ens.J.ls_..tech11iguf:.'s Th~ census of a fishing industry is generally called a FRAME SURVEY. This is a rather comprehensive term, because there are many aspects of a fishery which one might wish to know. This is amply illustrated by the report on the partial census executed by the ADP/FS on the southern landings of L. Kyoga during December 1988. Frame surveys can for that reason be very elaborate and consequently costly. In principle, frame surveys can very well be executed as sample surveys (like CAS), but such sample surveys still require information about the size of the total population and its distribution. For that reason, resea~ch projects in large bodies of water often propose the execution of an aerial census prior to a sample survey of the fishing population. This is indeed a quick, though very costly method to identify the location of landing sites and to count the total number of boats. 2.2: §_~..!ltQ.t~_:-jL'=.t..I:..~'..L~ The extrapolation of sample data is a statisticians occupational hazard. But every sampl~ has its variance and every extrapolation has its level of probability. In simple cases, such as a large number of landing sites, but only one type of boat with one type of gea~, the results of limited sampling can satisfy the demands of fishery management ~""' ,-"--•..,,~"'- ............. ~"'_ ..- _...... -.-.~ ... -~,~, ... -"'~ ,-',' ''>-'-(.. <~ - ··..·.._·'....,·'1-·.,; ..p":; ..' . {.~" .. quite easily. But the situations gets complicated where there are more boat types, and several gear types. The problem gets even more complicated if the ecological characteristics of the water body lead to divergent patterns of distribution of the major fish popUlations, because this also leads to divergent patterns in the distribution of ~ishing methods with different boat - and/or geartypes. ..,. nd Since in a new situation (first census) the sampling variance is not well known beforehand, the size of the sample should also be to large, like one out of every third landing, or the sampling should be stratified over large, medium sized and small landings. The latter usually implies the sampling of all large landings, about half of the medium-sized landings and one fifth of the smallest sites, or something similar. Practically this means travelling over the entire area and sampling some 2/3 of all landing sites anyway. This is reason enough to do a complete census on any first occasion, but a second census could be limited on the basis of the degrees of variance found previously. i.? .. 3: The aerial survey had been budgeted for about U.Shs. 5,&25,000 in the ADP One-Year Action Plan March 1990-March 1991. Considering the aims of the survey, the statistical uncertainti~s and the cost of an aerial survey, it became obvious that th~ execution of a complete lake-wide census could be much less expensive and much s more effective than the execution of a sample survey after an by i:\ E)'(' i iii 1 Cf:)nsus.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Water resources of a country constitute one of its vital assets that significantly contribute to the socio-economic development and poverty eradication. However, this resource is unevenly distri- buted in both time and space. The major source of water for these resources is direct rainfall, which is recently experiencing variability that threatens the distribution of resources and water availability in Uganda. The annual rainfall received in Uganda varies from 500 mm to 2800 mm, with an average of 1180 mm received in two main seasons. The spatial distribution of rainfall has resulted into a network of great rivers and lakes that possess big potential for development. These resources are being developed and depleted at a fast rate, a situation that requires assessment to establish present status of water resources in the country. The paper reviews the characteristics, availability, demand and importance of present day water resources in Uganda as well as describ- ing the various issues, challenges and management of water resources of the country.

Introduction 1.1 Background The Victoria and Kyoga lake basins fonn the major aquatic system of this study (Fig. 1). The two lake basins share a common evolutionary history and have similar native fish faunas (Graham 1929, Worthington 1929). The two main lakes have also had similar impacts by introduction of Nile perch Lates niloticus and therefore these two lakes can be considered to be similar for ichiogeographical purposes. These lake basins have many satellite lakes isolated from one another and from the main laKes Victoria and Kyoga by swamps and other barriers. Some of these satellite lakes still possess stocks of endemic fish species which are almost extinct from the main water bodies. It was therefore considered that understanding of these lakes would contribute to the knowledge base required to solve some of the problems experienced in Lake Victoria and Kyoga especially the loss in trophic diversity arising. The study was carried out in these two main water bodies (Kyoga and Victoria) and on other satellite lakes e.g Wamala, Kachera, Mburo, Kayanja and Kayugi in the Victoria lake basin and lakes Nawampasa, Nyaguo, Agu, Gigate, Lemwa and Kawi in the Kyoga lake basin (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6). 1. 2 Lake Victoria Lake Victoria is the largest tropical lake in the world and comprises some territory of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

  • The Potential for Further Proliferation of Water Hyacinth in Lakes Victoria, Kyoga and Kwania and Some Urgent Aspects for Research!
    Afr. 1. Trop. Hydrobiol. Fish. (1995) 6,1-10 The Potential for further proliferation of Water Hyacinth in Lakes Victoria, Kyoga and Kwania and some urgent aspects for research! T. TWONGO, EW.B. BUGENYI AND E WANDA Fisheries Research Institute P.O. Box 343, Jinja, Uganda ABSTRACT Shore environments of lakes Victoria and Kyoga with potential for the establishment and proliferation of water hyacinth were identified. They are characterised by: (i) shelter from violent off-shore and along-the-shore wind and wave action (ii) flat or gentle slope under relatively shallow water, and (iii) a muddy bottom rich in organic matter. Such environments are strongly associated with emergent macrophytes of papyrus, Vossia sp and, at times Typha sp where Pistia stratiotes, species of Ceratophyllum, Myriophylum and Nymphaea also occur. In Lake Kyoga association with Vossia sp facilitated establishment of water hyacinth even along wind-swept shores and promoted extension of mats of the two machrophytes into the open lake. Urgent research on water hyacinth is proposed in the areas of nutrient relations, weed biology and on its impact on the biodiversity resource, with particular emphasis on the fishery component. Findings from the research could facil- itate formulation of weed control options and alternative resource management strategies. A regional approach to address the water hyacinth menace is highly recommended. INTRODUCTION water supply.

  • Rainbows, Pythons and Waterfalls : Heritage, Poverty and Sacrifice Among the Busoga in Uganda
    RAINBOWS, PYTHONS AND WATERFALLS WATERFALLS PYTHONS AND RAINBOWS, heritage is a fundamental part of society and crucial in any development process; yet because of the complexity, it has proved di cult to incorporate culture and tradition in actual policy practice. Here the rich heritage of the Busoga is explored, using the water cosmology at the Itanda Falls in Uganda, with Rainbows, pythons and a speci c emphasis on a rainmaking ritual and sacri ce Heritage, poverty and sacri ce to the rain-god during a drought. While rainmaking among the Busoga in Uganda rituals cannot mitigate climate change in the modern waterfalls world, and while fewer and fewer people believe in the traditional religion, the past and its traditions are still sources for the future. As we rethink the role of heritage in the processes of poverty alleviation, it is argued, a strong emphasis on cultural and natural heritage is one of the most e cient and important areas of long-term development in an era of globalization, when traditions are disappearing.
