“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 ...
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GROWTH RATES AND YIELD OF THE SEAWEED, Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty), USING VARIABLE SEEDLING DENSITIES AND CULTURE METHODS IN COASTAL KENYA.
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
Seaweed farming has been demonstrated to have significant socio-economic benefits to coastal communities and has the potential to reduce pressure on wild fishery stocks. This work was aimed at testing sustainable farming ...
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 ...
NON-CLASSICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE ECOLOGY AND FISHERY OF Rastrineobola argentea (PELLEGRIN 1904) IN THE WINAM GULF OF LAKE VICTORIA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Many schools of thought tend to suggest that the central assumption in classical fisheries
