		On Lake Kyoga, hundreds of thousands of people are dependent on the natural resources that the system provides and yet, in the last thirty years, the abundance of fish - particularly Nile Perch and Tilapia - has decreased.

		Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world with an area covering more than 70 000 square miles.
		The smaller lakes of Bunyonyi in Kabale District and Lake Mutanda and Murehe in Kisoro District resulted from blockage of the drainage systems by lava from the volcanoes nearby.
		The huge lakes of the rift valley were the result of water filling the deepest rift troughs, while the crater lakes of the western rift valley and the lakes in the Rwenzoris are the results of gaseous explosions and glacial erosion.

		For example, in Lake Tanganyika there appears to be an inverse relationship between the abundance of predators and their prey; an increase in the abundance of Lates stappersii is followed by a reduction in that of its main prey, Stolothrissa tanganicae (Coulter, 1970; Roest, 1988).
		In Lake Volta an increase in the abundance of clupeids was followed by an increase of Hydrocynus spp and Lates niloticus (Petr and Kapetsky, 1983).

	Modelling Lake Kyoga
		Lake Kyoga is part of the Kyoga lake complex which includes a set of lakes and numerous wetlands in Central Uganda, Eastern Africa.
		The 3D EIA Flow Model is set up for Lake Kyoga to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the lake such as water levels and currents, and as well as studying the effect of the sudd blockage on the lake’s hydrodynamic and water level.
		The EIA 3D Flow Model was found to be able to model the Lake Kyoga in rather accurate and appropriate to use for scenario simulations.

		This lake is affected by water releases from the Owen Falls dam which controls the flow of water out of Lake Victoria; the time series shows the rise in water level in 1998-1999 associated with increased flow through the Owen Falls Dam.

		Blue-green algae were ingested mostly in lakes Kachera, Mburo, Kayanja and Lemwa and detritus in Nabisojjo while diatoms were mostly ingested in lakes Kayugi and Kawi.
		Lake Kayugi had the largest fish, the highest K and relative fecundity and where diatoms were the main food, contains the healthiest stock of O. esculentus.

		We found it in Lake Nawampassa, S.B. Wandera of the Ugandan Fisheries Research Institute was the first to report it.
		In light of these discoveries, I feel that Lake Nawampassa and the other Kyoga satellite lakes (some of which contain bits and pieces of this fauna) represent one of the highest freshwater conservation priorities in the world.
		I also hope to avoid having to advocate such a draconian measure as this, it is evidence that the aquarium fish community is incapable of regulating itself in the interest of conservation.
