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). ... -
Distribution and composition of benthic macroinvertebrates functional feeding groups and ecosystem attributes under different land use patterns in Kipsinende River, Kenya
(International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies, 2020)Functional feeding groups in tropical rivers helps in understanding organic matter processing, energy flow, trophic relationship and management activities. This study aimed to describe the general distribution and ... -
Distribution patterns and diversity of riverine fishes of the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(2020-08)The Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) is a global hotspot of aquatic biodiversity, but aquatic ecosystems are under threat from multiple stressors. Most studies on fish have focused on Lake Victoria, while patterns of fish diversity, ... -
DRIVERS OF THE BIOGEOCHEMISTRY AND FUNCTIONING OF THE AFROMONTANE-SAVANNA MARA RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2022-11)In Afromontane-savanna rivers, data on the role of land use, stream size and large mammalian herbivores (LMH, both wildlife and livestock) and their interactions on nutrient cycling, dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition, ... -
Drivers of water quality in Afromontane-savanna rivers
(Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022)Although several studies have investigated the relationships between water quality in rivers and the types of land use within their catchments, many aspects of these relationships remain unclear in Afromontane-savanna ... -
Effect of Different Fish Feed Sources on Growth and Economic Performance of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Within Subsistence Setup in Liberia
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2023-05)The wide adoption of O. niloticus for farming, particularly among smallholder farmers, can be attributed to its feeding versatility. However, its production in Liberia remains low, despite possessing desirable culture ... -
Effect of Replacing Fish Meal by Soybean-Blood Meal Mixture on Performance of Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
(THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLEDGE, 2018)Commercial fish feeds are highly expensive and unaffordable to majority of fish famers, usually fish meal which is scarce and expensive is used in compounding fish feeds. A fourteen-week study was done to determine growth ... -
