Empirical Estimates of Potential Fish Yield for the Lake Bangweulu System, Zambia, Central Africa
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1979Abstract Estimates of potential fish yield derived for the Lake Bangweulu system by three independent methods varied from 10 to 35 kg/hectare. An estimate of 20 kg/hectare predicted by the regression of yield on morphoedaphic index (MEI) for 31 African lakes is in good agreement with the 1973–1974 estimated yield of 19 kg/hectare.

Fishing Life in the Bangweulu Swamps (2): An Analysis of Catch and Seasonal Emigration of the Fishermen in Zambia [PDF]
African Study Monographs. Supplementary Issue., 1987 The aim of this paper is to describe and characterize the swamp fishing in the Bangweulu Swamps, Zambia. The fish catch by the several fishing methods are analysed after these methods are outlined. As a result of the analysis, it is indicated that each production unit chooses a fishing method to catch a particular group of fish, such as Mormyridae or ...

Fishing Life in the Bangweulu Swamps: A Socio-Ecological Study of the Swamp Fishermen in Zambia [PDF]
African Study Monographs. Supplementary Issue., 1985 The swamp fishermen enter into the Bangweulu swamps from their main village out of the swamps in the dry season when the water level decreases. They aim at selling their catch to the markets in Copperbelt cities. In this paper, fishing methods used by them are described, and the catch by each method are analyzed. The swamp fishermen carry their fishing

, 1983 Research into the ecology of the sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekei Rothschild, 1898.) in the south-east Bangweulu, Zambia, was carried out between 1973 and 1976. The sex ratio for sita-tunga does not differ significantly from 1:1, although 47.3% of the population are adult females and 25.6% adult males, 12.1% immature males, 4.3% immature females and 10 ...

The Bangweulu Swamps of Central Africa
Geographical Review, 1947T HERE is something sinister and gloomy about the word "swamps," and no doubt the readers of this article will conjure up, as I did before I went there, a somewhat repellent picture of this particular African variety of swamp. They will probably connect it vaguely with the lonely death of David Livingstone in 1873 and add to that a general atmosphere ...
