Fisheries

There is a general steady increase in

fish catch in Uganda. The estimated

fish catch increased from 249.0 tons

in 2004 to 721.0 tons in 2006. Most of

the catch is however processed for

export, leaving very little fish on the

local market. Fish prices have sky-

rocketed, yet fish previously provided

for a cheap and easily accessible

source of animal protein for the poor.
