CHAPTER 5: FISH RAPID ASSESSMENT OF THE FISH BIODIVERSITY OF THE MBURO-NAKIVALI WETLAND SYSTEMS AND OPETA-BISINA WETLAND SYSTEMS, UGANDA By Dr. Dismas Mbabazi, (PhD) Senior Research Officer, National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI), Jinja. 5.1 Introduction Lakes Bisina and Lake Opeta are “finger lakes”, extensions of Lake Kyoga, surrounded by swamp land during rainy seasons. These lakes are shallow, usually reaching a depth of a maximum of 6 meters and Lake Opeta usually forms a separate lake during dry seasons. The lakes have three different environmental zones: the open clear water deeper than 3 m; the water less than 3 m, which is covered completely with water lilies and other submerged water plants like ceratophylum; and the swamps mainly papyrus, which fringe the shoreline. The lakes have a rich biodiversity that include flora and fauna such as Cyperus Papyrus, Hippo Grass (Vossia Cuspidata), Cattail (Typha spp.), Water lily (Nymphea spp.), and Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiodes). Large crocodile populations and other wild life. Ecological Baseline Surveys of Lake Bisina, Lake Opeta, Lake Mburo and Nakivali Wetlands Systems 75
