This is a story of fish and fishing in Lake Victoria, one of
Africa's Great lakes. In the early 1990s, Uganda started industrial
fish processing in response to the lucrative markets overseas. This
has led to a situation whereby larger-scale industrial fisheries
have been systematically favored in the belief that the benefits
derived from the newer fisheries would flow through the economy to
the original participants. The customary system, rules and
regulations are being replaced through the promotion of
conventional science, foreign technology and centralization of
power. The question of whether the economic importance of fisheries
for local populations/households (that originally survived on the
lake's resources) has been tackled is what the study follows. It
will further focus on how local fishers employ LEK to sustain their
meager economy amidst the interference of state agencies and
external actors. It explores how local fishers are coping with the
new natural resource management policies and whether Lake Victoria
is heading for an environmental catastrophe.
