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 ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Stocking Density on Growth Performance, and Survival of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Cage Culture System in Lake Victoria, Kenya
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2023-04)The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niltoticus) constitutes an important animal protein source in the Great African Lakes population but wild supplies are rapidly declining. Cage aquaculture of O. niloticus is increasingly being ... -
EFFECTS OF BIOFLOC TECHNOLOGY ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis Niloticus)FINGERLINGS AND MICROBIAL COLONIZATION IN THE SYSTEM.
(International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch, 2018)Aquaculture intensification is characterized by high stocking density and need of high quality and quantity of artificial feed. Increased fish biomass and feed input brings about rapid deterioration ... -
Effects of Deployment Period on Decomposition and Colonization of Leaf Litter of Differing Quality by Invertebrates
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), 2021-05)Detritivorous invertebrates play major roles in organic matter processing and nutrient cycling in headwater streams. In this study, three common leaf species in upland Kenyan streams (Vernonia myriantha, Syzygium cordatum ... -
