Fishery and Aquaculture Country Profile for Uganda - aquatic species caught by country or area, by species items, by FAO major fishing areas, and year, for all commercial, industrial, recreational and subsistence purposes. The harvest from mariculture, aquaculture and other kinds of fish farming is also included.

The Uganda Fish Processors and Exporters Association (UFPEA) is the voice of Uganda's fish processing industry. Although membership is voluntary, all fish factories in the country have joined to form this association. Due to the dynamic performance of this new industrial sector, which is just 10 years old, the European Union granted Uganda "harmonized" country status in October 2000. UFPEA played a key role in achieving this harmonization.
