Aberrationof Metals Competing for Iron on Exposure to Lambda Cyhalothrin and Aflatoxins in Dietary Fish from Selected Aquatic Sources in Kenya
(Food Science and Nutrition Studies, 2018)
Excess or deficiency of minerals may seriously disturb biochemical processes and upset internal homeostasis, leading to various diseases and disorders in fish species due to deficiency or excess ...
A review on the status of some major fish species in Lake Victoria and possible conservation strategies
(Lakes & Reservoirs, 2019)
Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, supports an enor mous flora and fauna biomass, with a large human population around the Lake. The
lake is a source of food (fish), water for domestic use ...
Shifts in the food of Nile perch (Lates niloticus) in Lake Victoria
(Journal of Lake and Reservoirs, 2018)
The study investigated diet of Nile perch in Lake Victoria and compared results with past data from the same lake in order to analyse diet shifts over time. Fish samples (2020) were collected by seining and trawling from ...
Trophic structure of an African savanna river and organic matter inputs by large terrestrial herbivores: A stable isotope approach
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd ; Freshwater Biology., 2018-06)
. Knowledge of trophic structure is important to understand sources and pathways
of energy resources in community ecology and to identify determinants of
ecosystem changes. Yet, little is known from rivers of African ...
Assessment of theFisheries Status in River Molo to Guide the Management on its Fisheries
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2018)
Rivers provide a suite of ecosystem goods and services to fisheries as well as water that benefit the domestic and industrial use of the riparian communities. The increasing intensification of ...
EFFECTS OF BIOFLOC TECHNOLOGY ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis Niloticus)FINGERLINGS AND MICROBIAL COLONIZATION IN THE SYSTEM.
(International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch, 2018)
Aquaculture intensification is characterized by high stocking density and need of high quality and quantity of artificial feed. Increased fish biomass and feed input brings about rapid deterioration ...
The multilevel society of a small brained bird
(Current Biology, 2019)
Animal societies can be organised in
multiple hierarchical tiers [1]. Such
multilevel societies, where stable
groups move together through the
landscape, overlapping and associating
preferentially with specifi c ...
Litter processing and shredder distribution as indicators of riparian and catchment influences on ecological health of tropical streams
(Ecological Indicators, 2014-05)
Terrestrial plant litter is the main source of energy for food webs in forest headwater streams. Leaf litter quality often changes when native tree species are replaced by exotic ones and land use change in
the watershed ...
Macroinvertebrate functional feeding groups in Kenyan highland streams: evidence for a diverse shredder guild
(The Society for Freshwater Science, 2014-02)
Data on the functional composition of invertebrates in tropical streams are needed to develop models
of ecosystem functioning and to assess anthropogenic effects on ecological condition. We collected macroinvertebrates ...
Are Large Herbivores Vectors of Terrestrial Subsidies for Riverine Food Webs?
(Springer Science+Business Media New York, 2015-03-17)
The tropical savannas of Africa have witnessed a
dramatic reduction in native large mammalian
herbivore populations. The consequences of these
changes for terrestrial-aquatic food-web linkages
are poorly documented. ...
