Further Observations Concerning the Proposed Introduction of Nile Perch into Lake Victoria
(1960/1961) Anderson, A.M.; Game and Fisheries Department, Entebbe, Uganda
The suggestion has been made by Fryer(1960) that the proposals to introduce Nile Perch into Lake Victoria are based on ignorance of several fundamental biological concepts, and that both theoretical reasoning and practical experience suggest that such an introduction would jeopardize the existing commercial fishery on Lake Victoria. It has also been suggested that the proponents of the idea have based their recommendations on empirical opinions which are unsupported by factual data.
