EFFECT OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURE TREATMENT AND PAWPAW SEED POWDER ON PRODUCTION OF STERILE MONOSEX NILE TILAPIA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Nile tilapia is the most widely cultured fish species in Kenya. The greatest problem with tilapia is its prolific breeding due to mixed sex, resulting in stunted growth of the fish. Therefore, there was a need to employ ...
EFFECTS OF SUBSTITUTING COTTONSEED MEAL PROTEIN WITH Pro sopis juliflora SEED MEAL ON NILE TILAPIA GROWTH
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
By the year 2020 there will be need for an additional 37 million tonnes of farmed fish
per year, globally. However, limited availability and high cost of high quality feed stuffs hinders aquaculture development in Sub-Saharan ...
DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE AND SOME GROWTH ASPECTS OF SHARK SPECIES (PISCES: CHONDRICHTHYES) ON THE KENYAN COAST
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
In Kenya and most of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region, substantial amounts of
shark landings occur as by-catch in artisanal fisheries, prawn trawls and longlines.
However, the species structure, distribution, catch ...
EFFECTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES ON WATER QUALITY AND MACROINVERTEBRATES ALONG NYANGORES STREAM, MARA RIVER BASIN, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The study investigated the effects of human activities on water quality and macroinvertebrates along the Nyangores stream in the upper catchment of Mara River Basin. Seven sampling sites were chosen to correspond to different ...
EFFECT OF IRON AMINO ACID CHELATE SUPPLEMENT IN FISH FEEDS ON GROWTH PERFOMANCE OF NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) AND SPINACH (Spinacia oleracea Linnaeus, 1552) IN AN AQUAPONIC SYSTEM
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
Aquaponic is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. It is an environmentally friendly production system involving reuse of waste and nutrients in production of fish and vegetables. The research was conducted to ...
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; ...

(University of Eldoret, 2016)
Studies on the diet and some biological aspects of Rastrineobola argentea were conducted between August 2014 and March 2015 in the Kenyan waters of Lake Victoria. Stomach contents of 1154 specimens collected from commercial ...
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 ...
ECOSYSTEM-BASED ASSESSMENT OF THE MALINDI-UNGWANA BAY PRAWN FISHERY USING ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The study aimed to generate information that will contribute to development of an Ecosystem based approach to fisheries management (EAFM) of prawn resources in the Malindi-Ungwana
Bay, Kenya. A comprehensive ecosystem-based ...
