Distribution patterns and diversity of riverine fishes of the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(2020-08)The Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) is a global hotspot of aquatic biodiversity, but aquatic ecosystems are under threat from multiple stressors. Most studies on fish have focused on Lake Victoria, while patterns of fish diversity, ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Different Fish Feed Sources on Growth and Economic Performance of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Within Subsistence Setup in Liberia
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2023-05)The wide adoption of O. niloticus for farming, particularly among smallholder farmers, can be attributed to its feeding versatility. However, its production in Liberia remains low, despite possessing desirable culture ... -
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 ... -
Fish assemblages and size-spectra variation among rivers of Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(Ecological Indicators, 2020-07)Riverine ecosystems are some of the most biologically diverse on earth, but are also among the most threatened by anthropogenic actions. Lack of local-scale studies monitoring changes in riverine populations makes it ... -
