This review assessed the status and scope of freshwater hydroacoustic fisheries research in
global aquatic ecosystems with emphasis on (i) geographical and spatial scope,(ii) …

The application of the hydroacoustic method in fisheries research has progressed both
qualitatively and quantitatively. These developments include innovations in beams …

Most small-scale inland fisheries in the Global South prohibit fishing gear with smaller
meshes than is legally permitted. Nonetheless, in most instances, this is not strictly enforced …

Biomass of the schooling fish Rastrineobola argentea (dagaa) is presently estimated in Lake
Victoria by acoustic survey following the simple “rule” that dagaa is the source of most echo …

Stratification restricts habitable areas forcing fish to balance between favourable
temperature and minimum dissolved oxygen requirements. Acoustic surveys conducted …

The distribution and densities of three pelagic fish taxa (Nile Perch, Lates niloticus,
Rastrineobola argentea [Dagaa], and the haplochromine cichlids) in Lake Victoria were …

Data from the first series of lakewide fisheries acoustic surveys of Lake Victoria, East Africa,
have been re-analysed according to current protocols. Surveys took place in February and …

The Nile perch fishery of Lake Victoria is regulated with a slot size and with restrictions on
legal gear sizes. This study provides an assessment of the effectiveness of the the slot size …

The Lake Victoria ecosystem in East Africa is known to support the world's largest small-
scale freshwater fishery. Economically, the most valuable fish in this ecosystem is the Nile …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In Lake Victoria, hydro-acoustic surveys have been conducted
since 1999 to estimate the standing stock and distribution of major fish groups (Nile perch …
