VII. INVESTIGATION ON THE FISHERY-BIOLOGICAL SITUATION OF THE LAKE ITASY (3500 ha) AND LAKE ALAOTRA (22000 ha).

Both big inland lakes seem to be heavily overfished. The fishermen' number is growing steadily. The catch is maintened only by capturing the young ones of valuable fishes. But in the mean time, the productive water column is not exploited properly, due to the lack of column feeder (phyto - and zooplancton feeder) fish.

Consultant made recommendations attached to his works. See APPENDIX No 4 (Lake Itasy), and APPENDIX No 5 (Lake Alaotra).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommandations in connection with the different topics of the consultants' work are attached to the chapters of the report, others are written in the relevant APPENDIX.
