The Kyoga lake system, which is c. 4 m deep, originally had a diverse fish fauna, extensive macrophytes and wetlands. Most (82%) of its water comes from Lake Victoria, controlled through three dams has short residence time 3 months. Physical chemical factors, plankton productivity composition vary across the east to west. macrophyte cover decreased after heavy El Niño rains 1961, area wetlands by 48.5% between 1994 2008 mainly because their conversion agriculture. main was infested with...
Abstract Biomass of the schooling fish Rastrineobola argentea (dagaa) is presently estimated in Lake Victoria by acoustic survey following simple “rule” that dagaa source most echo energy returned from top third water column. Dagaa have, however, been caught bottom two-thirds, and other species occur towards surface: a more robust discrimination technique required. We explored utility school-based random forest (RF) classifier applied to 120 kHz data lake-wide survey. schools were first...
Climate change disproportionately affects marginalized groups, especially women. To guide the integration of gender roles in interventions to improve adaptation, we examined among fishers on Lake Wamala, Uganda, which has been increasingly affected by climate change. We found lower participation women than men preharvest and postharvest fishing activities, with 99% 92.9% fish processors traders combined being men. The had more experience, started at a younger age exited later age, targeted...
Abstract Changes in the catches of N ile t ilapia, O reochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Lake W amala ( U ganda) have been observed since its introduction. The factors contributing to these changes, however, are not well understood. This study examined changes species composition, size structure, at first maturity, length–weight relationship and condition factor tilapia L ake amala, relation temperature, rainfall lake depth, provide a better understanding possible role changing climatic...
Abstract Inland fisheries support the livelihoods of millions people in riparian communities worldwide but are influenced by increasing climate variability and change. Freshwater fishing societies among most vulnerable to change given their dependence on highly threatened aquatic resources. As intensifies, building adaptive capacity within understanding efficacy strategies for maintaining household stability is essential coping with ongoing social environmental In this study, we examined...
Abstract HRBS-GLWNB 2020 presents the first open-source and high-resolution bathymetry, shoreline, water level data for Lakes Victoria, Albert, Edward, George in East Africa. For each Lake, these have three primary products collected this project. The bathymetric datasets were created from approximately 18 million acoustic soundings. Over 8,200 km of shorelines are delineated across lakes satellite systems uncrewed aerial vehicles. Finally, tied together by creating lake surface elevation...
Abstract The small pelagic cyprinid, Rastrineobola argentea (Pellegrin), commonly known as dagaa, accounted for 60% of the total fish biomass and 40% commercial catches in Lake Victoria 2015. However, some aspects biology species (from which management interventions are based) have changed since 1970s; yet harvest regulations remained same. In this study, spatial temporal variations life history traits dagaa northern portion were examined relation to fishing intensity offer guidance on...
Climate variability and change that have been intensifying since the 1970s are accompanied by changes in hydrology water balance of inland aquatic systems. These changes, however, not well documented with regard to small shallow systems more vulnerable. Changes temperature, rainfall wind speed around Lakes Wamala Kawi (Uganda) were examined provide insight on how increasing climate affect lake levels. Around Lake Wamala, average air temperature has increased 0.018°C y−1 1980. Rainfall 9.01...
