The introduced species fishery of Lake Naivasha, Kenya: ecological impact vs socio-economic benefits
Publikováno v:
Fisheries Management and Ecology. 22:326-336
Lake Naivasha is a shallow, freshwater lake in the eastern Rift Valley of Kenya. Its fish community now comprises only introduced species. Oreochromis spirulus niger was stocked in 1925 as a forage fish for the largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides,

The increasing frequency of extreme flow events as a consequence of climate change could potentially impact the stability of lowland clay streams in East Anglia. Some of these rivers act as conveyors of additional water that is pumped downstream to s

Over a 9-year period (1993–2001), the land-water width of a papyrus fringe on the southern shore of Lake Naivasha, Kenya, varied between 40 and 60 m. Increases in width via rhizome spreading into open water followed the 1997/1998 El Nino flood when

This is the first comprehensive study of an east African lake for thirty years. It represents the culmination of research expeditions which stretch back twenty years and is thus able to pick up long term changes which the individual research activiti
