TitleLetter from Ian Dunn; Lake Katwe, Uganda; to Peter Greenwood; Cromwell Road, London
CreatorDunn; Ian George (1934 - ); biologist
Date1 November 1967
DescriptionUpdates on his research. The Tilapia nurseries seem that there are 'definite T.leucosticta and T.nilotica patches almost mutually exclusive'. They are very close to school of hippos which is dangerous and damages the nets. He wants to investigate the differences in the populations and the differences in the habitat. He has made enquiries about chasing the hippos away or having park rangers attend him to the sites.

He has fished the cater again for colour notes on the H.wingatti. The nets stayed down for 24 hours and none fresh enough to take notes on. Has not caught a single female wingatti in the crater or anywhere else. Wonders about the possibility of stray wingatti being classified as parabrassy. Is hoping to get 20 pelican guts to examine in the near future.
