It is further recommended that the campaign against the use of Gammalin and traditional herbal fish poisons be continued. Awareness already exists in the villages, and almost all fisherfolk are against this practice. To further protect fish stocks, it is recommended that collection of fish eggs from migrating Labeo sp. be prohibited before the November migration. In addition, PROFA should open a small research center to store preserved fish specimens to assist in compilation of fish species checklists and provide a useful fish identification training tool for data recorders. More research is required to determine any declining patterns in mean sizes of fish caught by hand nets. The cichlids of importance in the fishery must be examined to Takamanda: the Biodiversity of an African Rainforest determine when precise remedial management measures should be implemented. In the meantime, it is safe to recommend that the minimum gear mesh size of 3 inches recommended for most African lakes and rivers is appropriate for the study region. References Mdaihli et al.
