Abstract

This paper gives observations made on the frame survey that was carried out on the Uganda part of Lake Victoria in March 2000. The paper highlights the major changes affecting fishing, fishing gears and facilities in the industry on the Ugandan controlled waters of Lake Victoria. The method of using communities as a cost effective method of data collection was effective and allowed timeliness in collecting results. Data collection was supervised by technical staff and processed in a harmonized approach agreed on by the three East African frame survey scientists. Mention has also been made of the survey costs in order to spell alertness to the survey activities planned for future. Strategies to overcome problems encountered in Frame Surveys 2000 have also been mentioned.
