dc.descriptionDuring the last 15 years the fisheries of Lake Victoria have been subject to intense fishing effort coupled with deteriorating conditions in the aquatic environment. Efforts to set and maintain ecological limits for the control of fish exploitation have not been successful and the goal of sustainable development for the Lake’s fisheries has proved elusive. The factors that contribute to unsustainable tendencies in the Lake’s fisheries are explored and the problems that need to be addressed if the adverse trends that affect production and management are to be overcome are investigated.
