| dc.description | 1. Lake Tanganyika (map, Figure 1) hosts one of the largest inland fisheries in Africa, second only to Lake Victoria in volume of production (FAO 1995a). It therefore represents a significant source of food and livelihood for millions of people dwelling within and around its basin. The lake and its environs support a wide array of subsistence and commercial activity as well as a remarkable assemblage of tropical flora and fauna, including highly diverse populations of endemic fish, all within a setting of striking scenic appeal. The conservation value of the lake is thus also of enormous importance (Beadle 1981; Coulter 1991; Hanek 1994; Hanek and Craig 1996; Quan 1996). 2. Amidst growing concerns over the environmental status, endangered biodiversity, and possible over-fishing of this unique lake, efforts have been mounted since 1992 through the FAO-executed Lake Tanganyika Research (LTR) Project (GCP/RAF/271/FIN), to investigate Tanganyika’s biological productio n and fisheries potential, and to devise modalities for the optimal management, on a regional scale, of its fisheries resources to serve present and future human welfare and biological conservation needs (FAO 1992)..... | |
