Considerations for environmental biogeochemistry and food security for aquaculture around Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Environ Geochem Health, 2023)Abstract The impact of population expansion through economic growth and development has been identified as one of the key drivers of both water and sediment contamination from potentially harmful ele- ments (PHEs). ... -
On-farm growth performance of different strains of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus reared in earthen ponds
(Aquaculture, fish and fisheries, 2023)The growth of aquaculture sector in Kenya has been anchored on farmed Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Different strains of the species exist in Kenya with unknown qual- ity due to lack of stock improvement programmes ... -
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 ... -
