To ensure the long-term sustainable use of African Great Lakes (AGL), and to better understand functioning these ecosystems, authorities, managers scientists need regularly collected scientific data information key environmental indicators over multi-years make informed decisions. Monitoring is conducted at some sites across AGL; while others sites, it rare or irregularly in response sporadic funding short-term projects/studies. Managers working on AGL thus often lack critical evaluate gauge...
Lake Tanganyika is one of the most important lakes in world because it supports millions people who rely on its resources and exceptional biodiversity. However, lake currently suffers from a range anthropogenic stressors, including water pollution sedimentation, resource, biodiversity decline, habitat loss (both physical functional) climate change. Past current research has been limited disparate, only allowing scientific community to gather inadequate data required make informed policy...
The seven African Great Lakes are some of the most critical freshwater, large-lake systems in world, providing essential services, food, drinking water, and other livelihood support to over 62 million people. Like freshwater around these lakes strained by anthropogenic stressors, leading degradation biologically important, human-dependent resources. Despite their importance, suffer from insufficient research approaches which short-term, disparate, unharmonized. Further, a lack monitoring,...
L'étude évalue l'état physico-chimique de la rivière Kinyankonge dans l'espace et le temps l'impact des activités anthropiques. Des prélèvements mensuels d'eau ont été effectués sept stations d'échantillonnage pendant 18 mois. Les paramètres physico-chimiques déterminés selon les méthodes l'AFNOR. La charge organique a évaluée à travers calcul l'Indice Pollution Organique (IPO) Leclercq. résultats révélé une variation spatio-temporelle pollution avec fortes proportions en saison pluvieuse....
This study aimed at assessing the ecological status of Kinyankonge River using a zooplankton-based Biotic Integrity Index (BII-zooplankton). was achieved through monthly collections zooplankton from four stations along river over 18 months (from July 2015 to June 2016, then January 2017 2017). Chemical parameters water were also measured AFNOR and APHA methods. Organic loads samples assessed Leclercq's Pollution Index. Zooplankton levels disturbance evaluated by Karr's Biological From this...
Lake Tanganyika is threatened by overfishing, deforestation, climate change and water pollution. Very few studies have investigated the effects of pollution on semi-aquatic communities such as aquatic birds. This study investigates foraging behavior pied Kingfisher Ceryle rudis in Bujumbura bay Tanganyika. We use data this bird species collected 2002 background over two periods during which we assessed environmental parameters. The sampling site located littoral zone next to channel mouths...
Acorn barnacles were assumed to have a self-thinning exponent close -3/2 widely acknowledged for plant populations. However, space and food competition mechanisms would lead different exponent. Different recruit densities between tidal levels should result in geometry of occupation with adult individuals morphologically biomass-density relationship. Using Tetraclita squamosa, an intertidal barnacle, we investigated the relationship along gradient study self-thinning. The slope was steeper...
Despite its importance, Lake Tanganyika is threatened by pollution especially around Bujumbura, the largest city on shores, leading to biodiversity loss, habitat destruction and trophic system disturbance. Hence, objective of this paper assess impact anthropogenic Bujumbura rivers using water quality physicochemical macroinvertebrates community parameters. Four were sampled two stations, upstream downstream considered. EC, TDS, NH4, NO2- BOD5 show high values at all one hand NO3- except for...
The development of and access to freshwater resources is fundamental if East Africa aims achieve its goal increased economic growth. Following vision documents for regional working together with local stakeholders, we developed water scenarios up 2050 that inform the hydro-economic modelling analysis extended Lake Victoria Basin, headwaters Nile River. Results indicate a 4-5 fold increase in demand, especially expanding irrigation domestic needs. Together climate land use change, discharge...
Cette revue de la littérature sur les poissons du bassin hydrographique rivière Ulindi à l’Est République Démocratique Congo a été réalisée dans le but d’avoir une idée l’état des connaissances actuelles son ichtyofaune en vue définir orientations pour leurs études ultérieures cette région non encore prospectée profondeur et dont plupart rivières se trouvent actuellement menacées par activités anthropiques. étude présente globale Bassin avec liste systématique exhaustive d’environ 31 espèces...
Le Bagrus bajad figure parmi les espèces des poissons très pêchées dans cours d’eau tropicaux d’Afrique dont informations sur la reproduction sont rares. Quelques paramètres de du Sud-ouest Lac Albert ont été étudiés durant cette recherche. Les échantillons collectés entre décembre 2019 et 2020 au moyen éperviers, palangres filets maillants maille standard (20,2, 25,4 30,5 mm). Au total, 520 spécimens 283 femelles 237 males étudiés. le sex-ratio, stade maturité sexuelle, rapport...
A study on the current state of zooplankton diversity in pelagic zone Lake Tanganyika along Bujumbura City was conducted from April to July 2020. The objective assess for sustainable management fishery resources and conservation this ecosystem. Two sampling sites were chosen. first station supposed be polluted whereas second one considered as less (or control). Zooplankton collected with 50μm plankton net at different depths. results obtained showed a total 12 species identified all stations...
The objective of this study is to assess the water quality Lake Albert based on its physico-chemical characteristics in relation with Bagrus bayad ecology province Ituri Democratic Republic Congo.The undertaken between December 2019 and November 2020 six stations (Drigi, Kicha ya Drigi, Grand Bale, Ingbokolo, Njerere Songa Tabu) allowed measurement physical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC) temperature (T), Turbidity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), well following chemical...
