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 ...
Considerations for environmental biogeochemistry and food security for aquaculture around Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Environ Geochem Health, 2023)
Abstract The impact of population expansion
through economic growth and development has been
identified as one of the key drivers of both water and
sediment contamination from potentially harmful ele-
ments (PHEs). ...
On-farm growth performance of different strains of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus reared in earthen ponds
(Aquaculture, fish and fisheries, 2023)
The growth of aquaculture sector in Kenya has been anchored on farmed Nile tilapia
Oreochromis niloticus. Different strains of the species exist in Kenya with unknown qual-
ity due to lack of stock improvement programmes ...
Some Aspects of Fish Biology and Ecology of River Perkerra in Lake Baringo Basin, Kenya
(Journal of Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems, 2023)
Human activities including construction of dams along the river ecosystems may result in ecological changes in
the fish and fisheries. This study assessed some aspects of fish biology and ecology of River Perkerra in ...
