- c) Explain three reasons that make East Africa not to be a major producer of fish and fish products in the world (6 marks)
1.Warm waters due to tropical location and the warm Mozambique current limits plankton growth and a number of fish.
East African coastline (Indian Ocean) is mainly regular so there are inadequate sea inlets needed for marine fish breeding.
2.Small and narrow continental shelf that limit growth of plankton and establishment of ports
3.Low technology and limited capital that limits marine fishing to the inshore waters.
4.Stiff competition from highly developed and industrialized nations e.g. Japan, Korea and Norway with advanced technology.
5.Limited market due to sparse population in many coastal owns which does not provide adequate market for fish
6.Low fish eating culture among the local communities who stay around the coastal regions
7.Strong sea tides that which are a great menace to local fishermen who uses small boats that are not motorised easily capsize
8.Lack of adequate refrigeration facilities hence caught fish go bad before being transported to market
- High prices of fish make it indeed expensive to many locals who cannot afford eating fish often
10.Inadequate capital for buying modern marine fishing equipment used in deep sea fishing
11.Regular coastlines that is unfavourable for fish breeding & development of fishing ports.
12.Warm coastal waters limit existence of more fish varieties hence only a few variety available.
13.Low demand for marine fish species compared to fresh water fish
- d) Explain four measures that Kenyan government has undertaken to conserve fisheries (4 marks)
- Restricting fishing to specified seasons to control over fishingü
- Licensing commercial fishermen to control their number ü
- Standardizing the mesh size of nets to be used in fishing ü
- Restricting the disposal of untreated waste into the sea /control of water pollution ü
- Enforcing international conventions to protect endangered fish speciesü
- Monitoring /discouraging the entry of foreign fishermen off the Indian Ocean waters 320km-exclusive economic zoneü
- Special hatcheries have been set up for artificial fertilization of eggs ü
- Conducting research to expand and improve fisheriesü
- By practicing fish farming. The development of fish farms complements the fish being caught from the natural waters. Artificial fertilization of eggs has increased the number of fish species being bred.
