Abstract:

About 20% of Uganda territory is surface water from which 250,000m tons of fish is produced. In addition to
fish exports which earned the country US$ 40m in 1996, fish provides 50% of protein diet of the 20m people translating into a per capita consumption of 12kg. It is estimated that fishery related activities employ at least
one million people.
