Description: Proliferation of invasive aquatic weeds has developed into a major ecological and socio economic issue formany regions of the world. As a consequence, inference on where to target control and other managementefforts is critical in the management of aquatic weeds (Ibáñez et al., 2009). Notwithstanding, aquatic systemsin Uganda in general and in the basins of Lakes Victoria and Kyoga in particular, have fallen victims to aquaticweeds invasion and subsequent infestation. If these aquatic weeds infestations are to be minimized and theirimpacts mitigated, management decisions ought to be based on up-to-date data and information in relation tolocation of infestation hotspots. Aquatic systems in the basins of the two production systems are importantsources of livelihoods especially from fish production and trade yet they are prone to infestation by aquaticweeds. Thus, the invasion and subsequent infestation of aquatic ecosystems by aquatic weeds pose a majorconservation threat to various aquatic resources (Catford et al., 2011; Kayanja, 2002).This paper examines the extent to which aquatic weeds have infested aquatic ecosystems in the basins ofLakes Victoria and Kyoga. The information is expected to guide management of major aquatic weeds throughrational allocation of the scarce resources by targeting hotspots.
