- Description
- Ningu Lubeo victorianus is the only labeine fish within Lake Victoria and its catchment (Greenwood 1966; Reid 1985). This species, once widely distributed in the Lake Victoria basin and supporting a commercial fishery until the late 195Os, has declined due to overfishing (Cadwalladr 1965; Ogutu-Ohwayo 1990; Seehausen 1996). The L. victorianus fishery has not only collapsed but the species has also disappeared from some of its former habitats. Recent surveys in Uganda have only found two distant populations-one in the Sio River on the Uganda-Kenya border (0” I3’53”N, 34”00’30’E), and the second in the Kagera River on the Uganda-Tanzania border (0°56’28.1”S, 3 1’46’ 18”E) (Rutaisire 2003) (Fig. 1). Currently, there is growing interest to breed the fish for wild stock enhancement and culture as a food fish.
