Munguti, Jonathan M.; et al. (Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023-08)Rapid population and economic growth, increased health benefits of aquatic food, and changes in lifestyles and preferences as a result of rapid urbanization and globalization are all contributing to the rapid growth of ... -
Seasonality in environmental conditions drive variation in plankton communities in a shallow tropical lake
Kondowe, Benjamin N.; et. al... (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 ... -
Sediment Heavy Metal Pollution Assessment in Changwang and Wuyuan Rivers in Hainan Island, China
Yongo, Edwine; et. al... (Water, 2023)Heavy metal pollution may pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. To assess heavy metal pollution, sediment samples were collected from Changwang and Wuyuan Rivers between June and December 2019. An inductively ... -
