Fishmongers in Lake Naivasha sort their catch at Kamere landing beach ahead of sale to the public. [Antony Gitonga,Standard]Nakuru County is now weighing reintroducing the annual fish ban in Lake Naivasha following a sharp decline in fish catch over the last couple of months. The county has tasked the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute to conduct a study on the fisheries sector before taking the next step.

David Kilo, the chairman of Lake Naivasha Boat Owners Association, warned that the fisheries sector was facing collapse due to the use of undersized nets.
