Nile Perch, native to several river basins and lakes in Africa, was imported into Lake Victoria in East Africa in the 1950's in an attempt to boost income for commercial fishing establishments along the lake. Nile Perch caused the extinction or near extinction of several hundred native species, but with increases in commercial fishing of Nile Perch, their population as been lowered and some native species are making a comeback.
