(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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
Assessment of theFisheries Status in River Molo to Guide the Management on its Fisheries
