Late holocene trends of phytoplankton productivity and anoxia as inferred from diatom and geochemical proxies in Lake Victoria, Eastern Africa
(Biogeosciences Discussions, 2013)
Lake Victoria ecosystem has undergone major ecological changes in the recent decades. Sedimentary diatom analysis and Fe/Mn determined by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) have provided phytoplankton (diatom) ...
Environmental Dynamics of Lake Victoria: Evidence from a 10,000 14C yr Diatom Record from Napoleon Gulf and Sango Bay
(Journal of Environmental Science and Engineering, 2016)
Bio-proxies provide relevant information on ecosystem health and environmental dynamics. In this study, diatom
assemblages of two cores collected from the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria at Napoleon Gulf (“NAPG1” (GPS, ...
Fatty Acid Composition of Muscle, Liver, and Adipose Tissue of Freshwater Fish from Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, 2011)
Fish oils may differ in fatty acid (FA) composition depending on diet. Oils extracted from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver fish (Rastrineobola ...
Fatty acid profile and stability of oil from the belly flaps of Nile perch (Lates niloticus)
(Food Chemistry, 2008)
Oil extracted from the belly flaps of Lake Victoria Nile perch (Lates niloticus) was evaluated for fatty acid composition, contents of
vitamin A, b-carotene and a-tocopherol, and oxidative stability. The oil was found to ...
How well do climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall? A case study of the Lake Victoria basin considering CMIP3, CMIP5 and CORDEX simulations
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2019)
In this study, how well the climate models reproduce variability in observed rainfall was assessed based on General
Circulation Models (GCMs) from phase 3 and phase 5 of the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project, i.e., ...
Contamination by heavy metals in silver fish (Rastreneobola argentea) caught from Lakes Kyoga and Victoria, Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2010)
Little information exists on heavy metal contamination in silver fish (Rastreneobola argentea) caught
from Lake Victoria. A large number of Ugandans consume the species. Sun-dried silver fish were
collected from 10 landing ...
PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in surface sediments from Lake Victoria, East Africa
(Science of the total environment, 2013)
Surface sediments (b60 cm) from the Napoleon Gulf and Thurston Bay on the northern shore of Lake Victoria
were analyzed for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and
dioxin-like ...
Occurrence, distribution, and ecotoxicological risk assessment of selected pharmaceutical compounds in water from Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Chemosphere, 2020)
The occurrence of 24 pharmaceuticals (including; 15 antibiotics, three analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs, three anti-epileptic/ antidepressant drugs, two beta blockers, and one lipid regulator) was investigated in 75 water ...
Heavy metal contamination in vegetables cultivated on a major urban wetland inlet drainage system of Lake Victoria, Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2010)
The population of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, located close to Lake Victoria, appears to be
exposed to risk of ingesting the heavy metals Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) through vegetables in their
diet. Lake Victoria is ...
PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in fish species from Lake Victoria, East Africa
(Chemosphere, 2013)
Two commercially important fish species, Nile perch (Lates niloticus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
belonging to different trophic levels were collected from the Napoleon Gulf and Thurston Bay in Lake
Victoria. ...
