The Tilapia is one of the commonest families found off shore and form the greatest proportion in the fishermen's catches. Experiments at Jinja have shown that other types of fish, such as the deep-water mornyrus which can be kippered, is acceptable to the Africans. Samples of this 'African kipper' were sent to Government House, Entebbe and favourably reported on. 3/53'.
