Potential adaptation strategies for climate change impact among flood‑prone fish farmers in climate hotspot Uganda
(Development and Sustainability, 2021)
Climate-induced floods are increasing in Africa. The need to evolve framework for adaptation to climate change impact (CCI) among flood-prone fish farmers necessitated this study. Based on availability, 60 farming active ...
Fishers’ perceptions of climate change, impacts on their livelihoods and adaptation strategies in environmental change hotspots: a case of Lake Wamala, Uganda
(Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2016)
Fisheries resources support livelihoods of fishing communities but are threatened by over-exploitation, habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Unlike the other threats, climate change has ...
The responses of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Lake Wamala (Uganda) to changing climatic conditions
(Lakes & Reservoirs: Research & Management, 2015)
Changes in the catches of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), in Lake Wamala (Uganda) have been
observed since its introduction. The factors contributing to these changes, however, are not well understood. ...
The role of gender in improving adaptation to climate change among small-scale fishers
(Climate and Development, 2017)
Climate change disproportionately affects marginalized groups, especially women. To guide the integration of gender roles in
interventions to improve adaptation, we examined gender roles among fishers on Lake Wamala, ...
Links between anthropogenic perturbations and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in Afromontane forest streams in Uganda
(Hydrobiologia, 2006)
Relationships between environmental variables and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages were investigated
among several sites that varied in disturbance history in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an
Afromontane site ...
Effect of stocking density on growth and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus 1758) under cage culture in Lake Albert, Uganda
(International Journal of Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2020)
In Uganda fish is a great source of animal dietary protein, however, natural stocks continue to decline.
Therefore, aquaculture provides a viable option to bridge the increasing fish supply-demand gap.
Accordingly, a ...
Small Changes in Climate Can Profoundly Alter the Dynamics and Ecosystem Services of Tropical Crater Lakes
(PLoS ONE, 2014)
African tropical lakes provide vital ecosystem services including food and water to some of the fastest growing human
populations, yet they are among the most understudied ecosystems in the world. The consequences of ...
The non-Haplochromis fish fauna in Uganda: an update on the distribution and a review of data gaps
(Research Square, 2022)
Freshwater fishes are the second most threatened group of vertebrates after amphibians. In most developing countries,
the conservation of freshwater fishes is largely hampered by limited information and data. The Red List ...
Identification of migratory and spawning habitats of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) in Lake Edward - Ishasha River watershed, Albertine Rift Valley, East Africa
(International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies, 2015)
Catfish (1103) were sampled twice monthly with beach-seines, tagged with external T-bar Anchor tags
and released at four estuarine sites, in July – August; September - October 2011; February-March and;
April - May 2012. ...
Fish condition in introduced tilapias of Ugandan crater lakes in relation to deforestation and fishing pressure
(Environmental biology of fishes, 2009)
This study identifies environmental predictors
of the condition of two introduced tilapia species
(Oreochromis leucostictus and Tilapia zillii) that are
known to have divergent trophic niches (planktivore
and herbivore, ...
