This study on the state of play of fish farming around the riparian perimeter of Virunga PNVi National Park was carried out from September in November 2021 using a questionnaire administered to 50 fish farmers targeted in 5 groups of the chiefdom of Bwisha in the territory of Rutshuru. The results obtained show that fish farming in Rutshuru is of the artisanal type and that it plays an important socio-economic role. This activity is mainly practiced by fish farmers aged between 40 and 55 years (76%). The structures encountered are of two types: diversion ponds (90%), and dam ponds (10%). The bulk of fish species reared consist of Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758 (86%), Clarias gariepinus (6%), and Haplochromis spp occupy (8%). (95%) of fish farmers produce less than 500kg of fish, against (5%) who produce between 500kg to 2000kg of fish per year. (84%) of fish farmers feed their fish with agricultural by-products from processing units, against (6%) who use imported feed. They find it difficult to feed fish properly. They do not benefit from funding, nor supervision and training.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude sur l’état de lieu de la pisciculture autour du périmètre riverain du parc national de Virunga PNVi a été conduite à partir du mois de septembre en novembre 2021 à l’aide d’un questionnaire administré à 50 pisciculteurs ciblés dans 5 groupements de la chefferie de Bwisha, en territoire de Rutshuru. Il ressort des résultats obtenus que la pisciculture à Rutshuru est du type artisanal et qu’elle joue un rôle socio-économique important. Cette activité est surtout pratiquée par les pisciculteurs dont l’âge est compris entre 40 à 55 ans (76%). Les structures rencontrées sont de deux types: les étangs en dérivation (90%), et les étangs de barrages (10%). L’essentiel des espèces de poissons élevées est constituées d’Oreochromis niloticus Linné, 1758 (86%), Clarias gariepinus (6%), et Haplochromis spp occupent (8%). (95%) des pisciculteurs produisent moins de 500kg des poissons, contre (5%) qui produisent entre 500kg à 2000kg des poissons par an. (84%) des pisciculteurs nourrissent leurs poissons avec les sous-produits agricoles issus des unités de transformations, contre (6%) qui utilisent les aliments importés. Ils éprouvent les difficultés de nourrir correctement les poissons. Ils ne bénéficient pas de financement, ni d’encadrement et formation.
