Item Exploring the Morphological Dynamics of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus Linn. 1758) in Victoria Nile as Depicted from Geometric Morphometrics(Researchsquare, 2022) Tibihika, Papius Dias; Aruho, Cassius; Muganga, George; Lugumira, Jerome Sebadduka; Aanyu, Margaret; Ddungu, Richard; Ondhoro, Constantine Chobet; Okurut, TomVarious anthropogenic activities continue to threaten the fish biodiversity of the East African water bodies such as the Victoria Nile. Although the Victoria Nile is a significant source of livelihood to human populations, the biology and ecology of Nile tilapia in this ecosystem remain understudied with little or no information on the morphology of the fish given varying and immense anthropogenic activities. Here, we use geometric morphometrics to examine the morphology/shape variations of Nile tilapia populations in Victoria Nile to gain insights into their current ecological state.
