Water quality assessment of Vasileva Lake based on diatoms influences by tourism, fishing and recreation
Surface waters in recent years are under the great influence of industrial and anthropogenic factors. Vasileva Lake has been impacted by anthropogenic factors. It has been exploited by people for recreation, vacation and fishing, which exposed Vasileva Lake to occurrence of pollution. Purpose of this work was to evaluate the status of water quality in this artificial lake, using algae-diatoms a...
متن کاملFishing down and fishing hard: ecological change in the Nile perch of Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
Fishing is a potent ecological force. In Lake Victoria, East Africa, Nile perch, Lates niloticus contributes to a multi-million dollar fishing industry but is threatened by over-exploitation. We quantified spatial and temporal trends in the distribution, diet and size of Nile perch in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda, a satellite of Lake Victoria. From 1995 to 2007, we detected a decline in catch per unit...

متن کاملEffects of habitat on mercury concentrations in fish: a case study of Nile perch (Lates niloticus) in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda.
This study focused on variation in fish mercury (Hg) concentrations in 185 Nile perch (Lates niloticus) samples collected across four different habitat types in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda, a tropical lake located proximate to Lake Victoria. We quantified the stomach contents of Nile perch using the % index of relative importance, as well as, nitrogen and carbon isotopic concentrations to assess the ...
متن کاملTropical fish in a warming world: thermal tolerance of Nile perch Lates niloticus (L.) in Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
Key to predicting the response of fishes to climate change is quantifying how close fish are to their critical thermal limits in nature and their ability to adjust their thermal sensitivity to maintain performance. Here, we evaluated the effects of body size and habitat on aerobic scope (AS) and thermal tolerance of Nile perch Lates niloticus (L.), a fish of great economic and food security imp...
