  abstract = {{A} fisheries management plan was required in {C}entral {A}frica, which integrated a reduced regional hydrographical network and limited amounts of data in the overall regime. {T}he current data and knowledge on fish populations and fisheries impacts are very poor in this region, particularly in {C}had. {T}herefore, any new knowledge, especially on the structure of the ichthyological stands can be considered as valuable. {I}nformation on the status of {L}ake {I}ro fisheries resources was thus established by this study, which can serve as a model fisheries management regime in {C}entral {A}frica. {W}e performed assessment of fish resources in {L}ake {I}ro, {C}had, achieved by a characterization of the exploited ichthyofauna, and the location of nursery and fishing areas. {R}esults indicated that the overall size range of fish species showed negative effects of fishing pressure on size structure of the fish resources. {F}ishing has increasingly exerted pressure on fish species and affected the primary consumer species. {W}e hypothesized at {L}ake {I}ro fish catches were below optimal fish production levels, essentially due to excessive localized fishing efforts, and selective fishing techniques by fisherman. {S}uch reports call for the development of an integrated plan for sustainable management of {L}ake {I}ro fisheries resources. {S}ustainable and equitable exploitation of {L}ake {I}ro resources can be promoted by implementation of the following recommendation: a protected area at the lake inlet to limit excessive juvenile fish catches, which disturbs the aquatic food chain and prevents juvenile fish supply and growth in {L}ake {I}ro.},
