    Description: Lake Albert and Albert Nile are a major source of fisheries resources sustaining the riparian communities in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Like all shared bodies of Uganda Lake Albert and Albert Nile fisheries are faced with immense exploitation pressure one time described as the tragedy of the commons. In Uganda, the lake is shared by five riparian districts namely: Buliisa, Bundibugyo, Hoima, Kibaale and Nebbi. The lake covers a total estimated surface area of 5,270 square kilometers with approximately 60% within Ugandan waters. It is located in the western part of the great rift-valley at an altitude of 618 m above Sea level. The central parts of the lake are characterized by steep escarpments whereas the northern and southern parts lie in a plain of the rift valley. The plains are gently sloping, resulting in shallow swampy inshore waters in many places. The major inflowing rivers are the Semliki and Kafu in the south, and the Victoria Nile at the northern tip. The lake has a diverse fish fauna with a gradient of multi-species fisheries in different parts of the lake.The overall objective of the Frame Survey was to provide information on the facilities and services at landing sites and the composition, magnitude and distribution of fishing effort to guide development and management of the fisheries resources of Lake Albert and Albert Nile.The specific objectives were to provide information on:a) The number of fish landing sites;b) The facilities available at the fish landing sites to service the sector including accessibility;c) The service providers especially fisheries staff at fish landing sites;d) The number of fishers;e) The number and types of fishing crafts and their mode of propulsion;f) The number, types and sizes of fishing gears used on the lake and their mode of operation.

    Description: Uganda's rich hydrological or water resources cover over 18% of the nations' surface area. The waters are an important source for tlsh. National fish production is estimated at 220,OOO mt in 1996 valued at over Ushs 100bn. This fish production is mainly undertaken by small scale artisanal fishermen that fish the shallow waters of Lakes Victoria, Kyoga, Albert and Albert Nile. They use small canoes, a few gill nets and muscle power hence are limited to the shallow water.unfortunately as a result of the spread of water hyacinth since its first sighting in 1987, most of the shallow waters are frequently covered by the weed. Large mobile mats frequently interfere with fishing. The weed often blocks the fishing grounds, makes fish landing points out of use for variable time periods. This renders the small fishermen unemployment in such cases resulting in attendant socio-economic problems.
