Fresh water fisheries in Kenya include;L. VictoriaL. NaivashaR. TanaL. Turkana
Reasons marine fishing less developed in East Africa are;Inadequate capital to purchase the required equipmentSmall market for the marine fish due to sparse population along the coast.There is stiff competition from foreign fishermen.Warm water/tropical location discouraged fish breeding.Narrow continental shelf at the coast resulting to low plankton growthUse of small boats/poor technology discouraged deep sea fishing.
Fresh water fish cannot survive in marine habitat because they would lose water molecule to the marine habitat since the marine environment is hypertonic.
Reasons why fresh water fishing is more popular than marine fishing in East Africa are;There are enormous fishing grounds e.g. L. Victoria, L Albert, L. Naivasha, L Tanganyika which are accessible to many people.Fresh water fish are popular with high demand among the people encouraging more inland fishing.Fresh water fishing requires simpler methods affordable by majority of fisherman in E. Africa.Most inland fishing ground are rich in Plankton hence encouraging fish breeding.High population in some places such a L. Vitoria offers the much need market.Government support e.g. setting up processing plants ad cooing plants have encouraged more fishing.
Elections are regularly held in Kenya because;It is a constitutional requirement that they are held after every five years.Give citizens chance to exercise the democratic rightsGives Kenyan citizen chance to choose leaders of their choiceHelps in generating new ides by offering alternative ways of running the government through different party manifestos.To keep leaders on toes and ensure they address issues affecting people e.g insecurity, corruption, unemployment , poverty etc.
