Nile Perch

Lake Victoria supports Africa’s largest inland fishery to a fault. Nile Perch was a non-indigenous fish species introduced into the lake in the late 1950s and has altered the freshwater ecosystem. Fishermen move through a complex network of middlemen, transporters and packaging factories. In the end all that is left is bones.
