The Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute has launched investigations into the mysterious deaths of fish in Lake Victoria. This came as KEMFRI on Monday ruled out poisoning for the deaths of thousands of fish reported four days ago. The first case was reported in Uganda about two weeks ago, after Nile perch and tilapia were found floating in huge numbers, causing panic and anxiety among local fish farmers and consumers. On Saturday, fishermen raised alarm over a large number of dead fish floating on the waters, suspecting poisoning.
