Abstract
The ecology and taxonomy of the haplochromine cichlids from the Mwanza Gulf of Lake Victoria (East Africa) have been studied by the Haplochromis Ecology Survey Team (HEST). The research area and the fishing techniques are described as basic information for following publications. Taxonomic studies resulted in the recognition of 150+ new species. The results of the ecological research on these species-including factors which influence species distribution, breeding and migra- tion-are summarized.Keywords
