ARUSHA, Tanzania, Feb. 20 — Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim
Majaliwa on Sunday condemned the ongoing use of poison for fishing in Lake
Victoria, saying the practice should be brought to an end due to its
diverse impact on the fisheries industry.
Majaliwa made the remarks while speaking in northern Tanzania’s district of
Bunda, located on the southern shores of Lake Victoria, which is highly
affected with illegal fishing. The Tanzanian leader described the practice
as barbaric as it destroys the fish market both within and outside the
nation. Majaliwa also pointed out that the use of poison to snare fish in
Lake Victoria can lead to health problems, because the consumption of fish
caught through the use of chemicals is a major cause of diseases, including
cancer. He directed fisheries officers in the Ministry of Livestock and
Fisheries to prevent fishermen in the lake area from using illegal fishing
methods.
Some fishermen use outlawed fishnets such as beach seining and undersized
nets, as well as dynamite fishing, he noted. “These kinds of fishing
methods will destroy the marine resources in Lake Victoria,” Majaliwa
said.He directed fisheries officers to conduct new inspections of all
fishing vessels around Lake Victoria. – XINHUA
