Aspects of the biology of Labeo cylindricus (Pisces: cyprinidae) in Lake Baringo, Kenya
Chrisphine S. Nyamweya; Chrisestom M. Mlewa; Charles C. Ngugi; Boaz Kaunda-Arara; James Njiru; John W. Gichuki; William O. Ojwang; Jacob E. Ojuo (Wiley Online Library, 2012-09)Aspects of the biology of Labeo cylindricus from Lake Baringo were investigated, based on experimental beach seining and gillnetting between August and October 2007. The length–weight relationship indicated the species ... -
Biology of the marbled lungfish, Protopterus aethiopicus Heckel, in Lake Baringo, Kenya
Chrisestom M. Mlewa; John M. Green (Wiley Online Library, 2004-12)In this paper we provide life history characteristics for an introduced marbled lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus) population in Lake Baringo, Kenya, including their length–weight relationship, body condition, fecundity, ... -
Daily growth of young-of-the-year of the Baringo tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus baringoensis (Trewavas, 1983)
Chrisphine S. Nyamweya; Chrisestom M. Mlewa; Charles C. Ngugi; Boaz Kaunda-Arara (2010)Otolith microstructure analysis was used to validate microincrement deposition rate and to determine daily growth rates of young-of-the-year (YOY) Baringo tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus baringoensis. Microincrement ... -
The influence of reef type and seasonality on population structure of coral-reef fishes within Malindi Marine Park, Kenya
Gamoe A. Locham; Boaz Kaunda-Arara; Chrisestom M. Mlewa (Wiley Online Library, 2010-03-15)Effective conservation requires knowledge of the effects of habitat on distribution and abundance of organisms.
