Seasonality in environmental conditions drive variation in plankton communities in a shallow tropical lake
(Frontiers in water, 2022)
Factors influencing the spatio-temporal dynamics of plankton communities in small
tropical lakes are not well-understood. This study assessed plankton communities
in response to spatial (six sampling sites) and seasonal ...
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 ...

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, ...
Influence of Water Quality on Distribution Patterns and Diversity of Enteromius Fish Species in Small Water Bodies of Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2022)
The Enteromius species are a widely distributed group of freshwater fishes in Africa.
However, their abundance and diversity are affected by environmental quality. This study
therefore investigated the relationship between ...
Assessing the Suitability of Kisumu County for O. niloticus Culture Based on Water Availability Criteria using Free GIS and SMCE Software
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)
Aquaculture productivity in Kenya is lower than the level required to support major section development despite an escalated need for fish. Low fish productivity is due to the location of fish ponds without considering ...
Generation of a Socio-Economic Suitability Map for Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Culture using Free Geographical Information System (GIS) software and Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) in Kisumu County, Kenya
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2022-06)
In recent years, aquaculture has accounted for roughly half of all fish consumed globally.
Scholar’s view aquaculture to have the potential to expand sustainably if suitable fish pond
sites are located guided by ...
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 ...
Suitability of Soybean-Blood Meal Mixture as Replacement of Fish Meal in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Rations
(African Environmental Review Journal (AER), 2020-12)
Fish require high quality protein in their rations which is sourced from fish meal. However, its scarcity and competition for use in livestock feeds has caused escalation of prices thus limiting its use. A study was carried ...
