The top lesson learned in the field of conservation on Lake Tanganyika is that the decline of Limnothrissa miodon (Kapenta) is attributed to indiscriminate fishing, increase in the population of fishermen, and climate change. In motivating others, I implore the introduction of fishing quotas, bag limits, fisher licensing, closed seasons, size limits, aquaculture practices, creation of freshwater reserves, and freshwater-protected areas on the lake. I further implore that research be done on the prevalence of wrong fishing gear, and illegal fishing methods.
