There is fear immature fish in Lake Victoria could be in danger over the introduction of a risky method of fishing.
The method, christened Seine fishing has been termed a serious threat to the survival of fish in the lake.
Also known as seine-haul, it is a method that employs a fishing net that hangs vertically in the water with its bottom edge held down by weights and its top edge buoyed by floats.
The net is tied to a motorboat which pulls it from one part of the lake to another.
