Dynamic of Stress Response in Victoria Labeo (Labeo victorianus) during transfer from the Hatchery to cages and Ponds under Differential Caged Stocking Densities
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2012)
Variation in fish stocking densities translate to difference in growth performance, yields and economic benefits in fish culture. Transferring fish directly from hatcheries to the cages or ponds may induce stress. We ...
Influences of land use/cover on water quality in the upper and middle reaches of River Njoro, Kenya
(Lakes & Reservoirs: Research and management, 2007-06)
Data from 10 sampling sites along the River Njoro are used to examine the contribution of nutrients from upstream land uses draining each of the sampling sites. The data also are used to assess whether both the proportion ...
Ecology and Management of Lake Naivasha, Kenya, in Relation to Climatic Change, Alien Species' Introductions, and Agricultural Development
(Environmental Conservation; Cambridge Journals, 1990)
Lake Naivasha is an important freshwater resource for Kenya's foreign-currency-earning agriculture and tourism, and for water-supply. It has always experienced extensive water-level fluctuations as a consequence of irregular ...
Growth, Survival and Nutrient Utilization of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) using Cyanophyceae (Arthrospira fusiformis) as Replacement of Fishmeal Based Diets
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2014-08)
Suitability of using cynaophyceae (Arthrospira fusiformis) to replace fishmeal (Caridina nilotica) as a main protein source in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was investigated at a ratios of: 25%, 50%, 75% ...
Comparative performance of invasive alien Eichhornia crassipes and native Ludwigia stolonifera under non-limiting nutrient conditions in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Hydrobiologia, 2010-09)
The ability of Ludwigia stolonifera to thrive in the presence of Eichhornia crassipes was
investigated in Lake Naivasha, Kenya. L. stolonifera (indigenous) and E. crassipes (invasive alien) were grown in outdoor experimental ...
Competitive abilities of invasive Lagarosiphon major and native Ceratophyllum demersum in monocultures and mixed cultures in relation to experimental sediment dredging
(Aquatic Botany, 2011-06)
Competitive abilities of Lagarosiphon major (Ridley) Moss (invasive in Belgium) and native Ceratophyllum demersum L. were assessed experimentally in relation to sediment dredging. We mimicked these conditions by taking ...
The risk of pathogenic intestinal parasite infections in Kisii Municipality, Kenya
(BMC Public Health, 2008-07)
Background: Intestinal parasitic infections are among the most common infections worldwide. Various epidemiological studies indicate that the prevalence of intestinal parasites is high especially in developing countries, ...
Dryland Farming and Food Security in Kenya: Challenges and Research Priorities
(Elixir, 2011-06)
Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya and employs the highest proportion of the population, accounts for approximately a quarter of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and close to two-thirds of total exports, hence ...
