I’ve been there a couple of times! My uncle used to be a buyer for a fish factory supplying Nile Perch. The reason it is so densely populated is because the lake around there used to be loaded with fish, being far from the mainland, most people fish for weeks based off the island and then sell to the buyers and head off to the mainland for r&r until the next tour.

You say “used to”. Has it been overfished?
sadly the entire lake has been depleted of fish stocks, pollution has taken care of what overfishing didn’t destroy
So, @mkukiwamagere@lemmy.world, who owns Migingo? From one East African to another. :)
If you ask when in Kenya, it is ours but when you are there, we are all Ugandans hehe
