Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater body in the world supporting a human population of 30 million people. Over the last four decades, the biodiversity of the lake and its catchment has been comprosed. The indigenous fish species variety has reduced by 80% this is explained as being due to the introduction of exotic species which feed on the indigenous and small fish species.
