In French. This document outlines a protocol for developing a fish restocking plan for Lake Sofia, a freshwater lake in Madagascar.

The aim of restocking is to enhance the ecological dynamics of this freshwater ecosystem and, in turn, strengthen the local livelihoods that depend on it—both directly (such as fishing and papyrus-based crafts) and indirectly (including agricultural irrigation). The document outlines the key steps required for a successful restocking plan, from community consultation and plan development to implementation and long‑term monitoring.
