Abstract

Preliminary observations on frog use in Burundi. The paper describes a frog cropping technique used in the Ruzizi plain. The frogs are captured by night with a spot-light in the wild populations. Legs are prepared on the place of capture and then transported by bicycle to Bujumbura for sale. A 4 hunters team can harvest 500 - 1.000 frogs in one night ; cropping is seasonal. The frog hunted is Rana occipitalis (legs mean weight is 37.1 g). Rational frog farming is envisaged.
