NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF FORMULATED FEEDS AND IN-SITU BASED FEEDS OF AQUACULTURE FISH IN THE WINAM GULF OF LAKE VICTORIA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2022)
The uses of feeds are critical to success of aquaculture farming on Lake Victoria Basin. The composition of the feeds can either be derived from in situ plants or animals i.e. the
lake shrimp or omena within the ecosystem ...
EFFECTS OF STOCKING DENSITY ON GROWTH, WATER QUALITY AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF MONOSEX NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus) REARED IN AQUAPONICS SYSTEM
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Aquaponic systems integrate the culture of both plants and fish in recirculating aquaculture units. The nutrients derived from the fish are utilized by the plants for their growth in the system. The current study determined ...
IMPACT OF LAND USE CHANGE IN WATER QUALITIES, HABITAT QUALITIES AND BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES ASSEMBLEGES IN KIPSINENDE RIVER, LAKE VICTORIA BASIN, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Kipsinende River is being impacted by anthropogenic activities from upstream to downstream. The main pollution sources are agricultural activities, washing, bathing, logging, deforestation and grazing. The main objective ...
SPATIO-TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF MACROINVERTEBRATE FUNCTIONAL FEEDING GROUPS IN THE SOSIANI-KIPKAREN RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Different land-use practices in river basins affect the hydrological characteristics, water quality and alter the complex biotic and abiotic processes that govern the functioning macroinvertebrate communities. Studies ...
EFFECTS OF STOCKING DENSITY AND SEASONALITY ON DIGENEAN TREMATODE AND MONOGENEAN INFECTIONS IN NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus 1758) REARED IN CAGES IN UHANYA BEACH IN LAKE VICTORIA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
There exists a balance between, parasites, their fish hosts and the environment. However, when this balance is broken parasites spread rapidly in culture facilities inducing severe epizootics. This study was conducted from ...
FOOD, FEEDING HABITS AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF “NINGU” (Labeo victorianus, BOULENGER, 1901) IN FOUR SELECTED RIVERS OF THE LAKE VICTORIA BASIN, KENYA.
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
“Ningu” (Labeo victorianus Boulenger, 1901) is one of the endemic fishes in Lake Victoria Basin (LVB), but is now threatened by multiple stressors caused by human activities. This study investigated spatial and temporal ...
SPATIAL VARIABILITY IN WATER QUALITY AND MACROINVERTEBRATE ASSEMBLAGES ACROSS A DISTURBANCE GRADIENT IN THE MARA RIVER BASIN, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Across the Afrotropical ecosystems, human activities are increasingly modifying natural flow regimes, nutrient and organic matter loading and processing in streams and rivers, with implications on ecosystem structure and ...
INFLUENCE OF LAND-USE ON LEAF LITTER DECOMPOSITION IN HEADWATER STREAMS OF THE NZOIA RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Land-use plays a crucial role in affecting river function, particularly leaf litter decomposition. The study was aimed to investigate the influence of land-use on leaf litter decomposition in headwater streams of the Nzoia ...
Environmental Conditions and the Growth Patterns of Acacia melanoxylon in Highland Humid Forests in North Tinderet Forest Block (Kenya)
(University of Eldoret, 2023-04)
Acacia species represent one of the most important alien invasive species in many forest
ecosystems. The number of quantitative studies exploring their response to environmental
heterogeneity is few, especially in tropical, ...
The Nutritional Quality of Forage Grass Changes Due to Changing Soil Chemistry Resulting from Different Land-Use Management in the Oroba Valley, Kenya
(University of Eldoret, 2023-04)
Threats from land degradation may escalate problems of inadequate food supply and
poverty that already afflict the inhabitants of the Oroba Valley, Nandi County, Kenya. The
steepness and inadequate application of good ...
