| Comments: | The species Lates niloticus is a game fish for the national market. Nevertheless it seems difficult to forecast the stock exploitable as there has never been an inventory or evaluation campaign of aquatic resources of the river Congo and its effluents. Then, the effort of fisheries of the continental water is not calculated by management responsible for the sub-sector of fisheries. Ref: FAO, 1997 | ||||
