B/W of fishermen and their boats with the catch on the shores of Lake Victoria. Nyamirembe, North Western Tanzania

---

Fishing boats pulled up on shore to unload their catch. Tilapia is the favorite fish but since the introduction of the Nile Perch much of the lakes fish stocks have been devasted by this voracious predator. The introduction of this species to Lake Victoria is one of the most commonly cited examples of the negative effects invasive alien species can have on ecosystems. Nyamirembe, Tanzania
