Yalelo Uganda is a tilapia fish farm established in 2019 at Butembe, Njeru Municipality, Buikwe District, on the shores of Lake Victoria. It describes itself as part of the largest vertically integrated producer of freshwater fish in sub-Saharan Africa.

The company aims to strengthen food security by sustainably producing a reliable supply of affordable fish, and sells through a retail network of outlets. Yalelo Uganda is a subsidiary of First Wave Group B.V., which also runs Yalelo Zambia.

The Biomass Verification Supervisor supervises and coordinates every part of biomass verification: data capture, weighing and counting discipline, and floor-level operations. The role makes sure biomass data is recorded accurately and traceably in the YU Fish Count App, deploys the team during verification, and enforces hygiene, safety and security protocols.

The supervisor leads the receiving team of counters, weighers, suppliers, receivers, scoopers and ice boys. That means checking scales are tared, allowing only authorised users to submit data, escalating data issues, managing recounts and discrepancies, preventing batch mixing, running spot-checks and audits, training workers on correct procedures, and submitting shift reports with corrective actions. The role is graded M1 and sits in the Production division, with day-to-day work on the receiving floor.
