MODELING THE IMPACTS OF WATERSHED DYNAMICS ON ARROR RIVER DISCHARGE, ELGEYO MARAKWET COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
The challenge to manage water resources in a watershed in a sustainable and appropriate manner is growing. Water scarcity is a serious problem worldwide and thus the need to understand the watershed dynamics and their ...
ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF AMMONIUM SULPHATE PROCESSED FROM ANAEROBIC PASTEURIZATION DIGESTER LATRINES EFFLUENT ON SOIL pH AND YIELDS OF PEAS (Pisum sativum)
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
Improper disposal of human waste is one of the developing world’s most serious health problems due to pollution of the environment. Food production is also dwindling due to soils’ nutrients loss to leaching caused by ...
ASSESSMENT OF INDOOR AIR POLLUTION, HEALTH IMPLICATIONS AND IMPACTS OF IMPROVED STOVE INTERVENTIONS IN BUNGOMA AND TRANS NZOIA COUNTIES, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
The use of biomass fuels poses great threats to environmental degradation and public health accounting for 32% of the total attributable burden of diseases due to indoor air pollution (IAP) in especially Africa. Heavy ...
Influence of catchment land use and seasonality on dissolved organic matter composition and ecosystem metabolism in headwater streams of a Kenyan river
(Biogeochemistry An International Journal, 2017-01)
Headwater streams influence the biogeochemical characteristics of large rivers and play
important roles in regional and global carbon budgets.
The combined effects of seasonality and land use
change on the biogeochemistry ...
Use of macroinvertebrate assemblages for assessing performance of stabilization ponds treating effluents from sugarcane and molasses processing
(Springer, 2017)
Wastewater discharge from sugarcane processing is a significant pollutant of tropical aquatic ecosystems. For most developing countries, monitoring of the level of pollutants is done mostly through chemical analysis, but ...
Genetic diversity and population structure of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) in Kenya: implication for conservation and aquaculture
(Belgian Journal of Zoology, 2017)
African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, is an important species in aquaculture and fisheries
in Kenya. Mitochondrial D-loop control region was used to determine genetic variation and population
structure in samples of C. ...
EFFECT OF REPLACING SHRIMP SHELL MEAL WITH HYDROLYZED FEATHER MEAL ON GROWTH, DIET DIGESTIBILITY AND BODY COMPOSITION OF Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters, 1852)
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
This study was conducted to determine the effect of replacing shrimp meal with hydrolyzed feather meal on growth, apparent digestibility and body composition of tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. Five hundred fish were ...
THE INFLUENCE OF SALTWORKS’ WASTE-BRINE ON DISTRIBUTION OF MANGROVE CRABS (DECAPODA, PORTUNIDAE) WITHIN THE GONGONI-KURAWA INTERTIDAL AREA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
Evaporation is one of the oldest methods employed in sea salt production, a process that involves pumping seas water into a series of ponds where solar evaporation concentrates it into brine, and precipitates the salt; ...
TROPHIC ECOLOGY AND EXPLOITATION STATUS OF SHARK SPECIES (PISCES: ELASMOBRANCHII) IN THE NORTH COAST OF KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
Sharks are apex predators in marine ecosystems whose trophic ecology is likely to influence community structure and function in their distribution range. Despite this role, data on the trophic ecology and exploitation ...
SPATIO-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF THE MARINE AQUARIUM FISHERY AND RECRUITMENT OF REEF FISHES IN COASTAL KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
Sustainable management of the marine aquarium fisheries in Kenya is challenged by limited information on the fishery and recruitment dynamics of target species at sufficient spatial, temporal and taxonomic scales. In order ...
