Abstract
The idea of forming a hydrobiological team, in cooperation with one or more African countries, as part of the International Biological Programme, originated during the early meetings of the Productivity of Freshwater Communities (P.F.) Subcommittee of the British National Committee for the I.B.P. The chairman of the Subcommittee was also a member, through the National Committee, of the Productivity of Freshwater Communities Section of I.B.P. At the P.F. meeting of 26 June 1964, a Panel for African Freshwater Studies was set up by the P.F. Subcommittee under the chairmanship of Dr J. F. Tailing in order to formulate specific proposals. The Panel met for the first time on 21 September of that year. Among proposals made was one by Mr P. B. N. Jackson, then Director of the East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organization (E.A.F.F.R.O.) at Jinja, Uganda, for work on Lake George. As a result of a report from the P.F. Subcommittee, the U.K. National Committee, on 2 December 1964, approved the plan for a U.K. hydrobiological team for studies on selected African waters.
