7.2.3. Annual Variations in CPUE for Ngalawa using Madema<br />
Figure 14 presents a simple graph of mean annual catch-rate by year for the Kigombe data for<br />
ngalawas using madema (fish traps). This graph indicates that there was actually a decrease in<br />
CPUE from 1996 through 1999/00, with a recovery in 2003/04.<br />

Year<br />
Again to test the significance of the differences between years, annual mean CPUE data was<br />
compared using the same Tukey Test. Statistical analyses show that the CPUE in 1998/99,<br />
1999/00 and 2000/01 were significantly lower than the previous year of 1996/97 and 1997/98, and<br />
were also significantly lower than the most recent data from 2003/04. CPUE for 2003/04 is not<br />
significantly different from 2001/02 or 2002/03. The pattern shown indicates a significant decline<br />
between 1997/98 and 2000/01, but significant recovery from 2001/02.<br />
7.2.4. Seasonal Variations in CPUE for Ngalawas using Madema<br />
Figure 15 presents monthly CPUE data for ngalawas using madema. The high proportion of N
