    Description: Until the late 1990s the fisheries of Ugandan lakes had been managed by government where stakeholders were excluded from the decision-making process. In order to involve other stakeholders, co-management was adopted. Operationalising Co-management on landing sites has led to the formation of BMUs at gazetted landing sites. A BMU is made up of a BMU assembly and the BMU committee that it elects. A BMU committee should be: 30% boat owners; 30% boat barias 30% including fish processors, boat makers, local gear makers and repairers, fishing input dealers and managers and 10% fish mongers/traders; and if possible, 30% women. To operate at a particular landing site, one must be registered with the BMU. The BMU assembly is the supreme organ of a BMU empowered to elect, approve and remove the BMU committee

    Membrane Bioreactor–Treated Domestic Wastewater for Sustainable Reuse in the Lake Victoria Region (2021)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-10-15
    Description: Lake Victoria is a shared water resource between Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, which is the second largest freshwater lake in the world. It has long since suffered from the consequences of overexploitation of its resources, mainly fish stocks, and increasingly high pollution. The closure of 58% of the fish processing plants (FPPs) is attributed to the declining fish stocks due to overfishing and pollution in particular. The installation and operation of a pilot membrane bioreactor (MBR) in Kisumu, Kenya, adopts an integrated approach by providing an integral, sustainable, cost-effective, and robust solution for water sanitation, which also meets the demand for clean water in the fish processing industry, aquaculture, and irrigation. The innovative system comprises a pilot MBR coupled with a recirculation aquaculture system (RAS). The RAS is able to recirculate 90% to 95% of its water volume; only the water loss through evaporation and drum filter back flushing has to be replaced. To compensate for this water deficit, the MBR treats domestic wastewater for further reuse. Additionally, excess purified water is used for irrigating a variety of local vegetables and could also be used in FPPs. The pilot-scale MBR plant with around 6 m2 submerged commercial polyethersulfone (PES) membranes provides treated water in basic agreement with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) standards for irrigation and aquaculture, showing no adverse effects on tilapia fingerlings production. A novel membrane module with a low-fouling coating is operating stably but has not yet shown improved performance compared to the commercial one.

    Contribution of Lake Victoria fisheries to economic growth, poverty reduction and development: literature review and data (2021)
    National Fisheries Resource Research Institute | Jinja, Uganda
    In:  http://aquaticcommons.org/id/eprint/17385 | 4230 | 2021-02-27 20:43:25 | 17385 | National Fisheries Resources Research Institute, Uganda

    Description: This is a report of the study on the contribution of Lake Victoria fisheries to economic growth, poverty reduction and development in Uganda. Tl1e purpose of the study was to establish the existing knowledge and data on fisheries contribution to Uganda's economy at the national and household levels and asses gaps that would be addressed through further research and data collection. The study was conducted using two methods: A review of literature was done by reviewing documents, references, reports and published statistics at NaFIRRI, Makerere university, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Depart1nent of Fisheries Resources Entebbe (DFR), Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) and Ministry of Trade and Industry and to UFPEA. This provided infor1nation about Lake Victoria stakeholders covering their incomes, 1narketing chain and revenue data. Secondly, key Informant Interviews (IZIIs) were l1eld with staff at Makerere University, Ministry of Finance, Planning and conomic Development, Depart1nent of Fisheries Resources Entebbe (DFR), Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), and Ministry of Trade and Industry The report covers fisheries contribution in the areas of production and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), emploY1nent, incomes, artisanal and industrial processing, domestic, regional and international1narketing, consumption and public revenues.
