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 ...

Enteromius is currently represented by350 valid species, making it the most speciose and widely distributedcyprinidgenuson the African continent.TheEnteromiusrepresents one of the most common genera occurring in almost all ...
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, ...
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 ...
MODELLING LAKE LEVEL VARIATIONS, WATER BALANCE, AND FISHERIES OF LAKE BARINGO, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2022)
Lake Baringo has the worst eroded catchment area and whose water levels (WLs) have
been fluctuating at inter- and intra-annual time scales. These changes have been related to
natural events and to human activities in the ...
DYNAMICS IN TROPHIC STATUS, WATER AND NUTRIENT MASS BALANCE AND COMMUNITIES OF LAKE KANYABOLI, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2022-10)
Fishing pressure and nutrient enrichment from the catchment area threaten Lake Kanyaboli's water quality and communities. Understanding these impacts and their effect on the lake's water quality and communities is crucial ...
NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF FORMULATED FEEDS AND IN-SITU BASED FEEDS OF AQUACULTURE FISH IN THE WINAM GULF OF LAKE VICTORIA, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2022)
The uses of feeds are critical to success of aquaculture farming on Lake Victoria Basin. The composition of the feeds can either be derived from in situ plants or animals i.e. the
lake shrimp or omena within the ecosystem ...
