Lake Kwania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Kwania is in the Lira District in Uganda. It is near or linked to Lake Kyoga and predominantly has fisheries. There are over 45 landings, although only 17 are officially recognized. Nile perch of up to 10 kg have been caught in gillnets. Some have been sighted at the Atuma Landing. Canoes used on Lake Kwania are mainly planked canoes of about 20 feet in length. There are very few dug-outs on this lake. This discrepancy in craft arises because Lake Kwania has relatively higher waves, yet this characteristic is not very pronounced on Lake Kyoga.
The industry on Kwania is basically a Nile perch fishery with Tilapia coming second.
