EFFECT OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURE TREATMENT AND PAWPAW SEED POWDER ON PRODUCTION OF STERILE MONOSEX NILE TILAPIA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)Nile tilapia is the most widely cultured fish species in Kenya. The greatest problem with tilapia is its prolific breeding due to mixed sex, resulting in stunted growth of the fish. Therefore, there was a need to employ ... -
DISTRIBUTION, ABUNDANCE AND SOME GROWTH ASPECTS OF SHARK SPECIES (PISCES: CHONDRICHTHYES) ON THE KENYAN COAST
(University of Eldoret, 2016)In Kenya and most of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region, substantial amounts of shark landings occur as by-catch in artisanal fisheries, prawn trawls and longlines. However, the species structure, distribution, catch ... -
