context_page_description: There are two major sources of fish in Uganda; one is from aquaculture, the other from fishing in rivers and lakes. Different types of fish flourish in different water sources. The waters of Uganda contain an impressive array of fish species—over 90 in all. This count does not include the Haplochromis complex, which itself is made up of more than 200 species. Fish that are the target of most commercial and subsistence exploitation include species of Lates, Oreochromis, the herring-like Alestes, the catfishes Bagrus and Clarias, Hydrocynus, the small pelagic “sardine” Rastrineobola, Protopterus, and the haplochromines.
  Tilapia and Nile perch are the commonest types of fish in Uganda. Other fish types include tilapia, spat, cat fish, Nile tilapia, silver fish.
context_section_description: Clarias is locally known as "Emalle". It is in the cat fish family.
