This study examines fingerponds in Uganda's Lake Victoria wetlands, demonstrating how organic manure applications enhance nutrient levels, phytoplankton, and periphyton productivities to increase fish production, while exploring management practices needed to regulate pond conditions and improve food security for resource-poor communities.

This study examines the management of nutrients and primary productivity in enhancing fish production in these systems in Lake Victoria''s wetlands, Uganda.
