The unclean water, according to Catherine Agoe, an Aquatic Animal Health Pathologist at the Aquatic Research and Development Centre, is drawn from underground, from where it comes with impurities that are not safe for fish eggs. The water lacks sufficient aeration which affects the newly hatched fish fingerlings.
Lugoloobi also notes that the increase in fish stocks such as Tilapia, which grows very fast, has boosted the district local revenue collection. He explains that the district had stopped issuing Fish movement permits three years ago.
