Dados Sobre o Projeto

The project studied the ecology of wetlands of Lake Victoria and their importance for fish (Balirwa, 1998).

Título Lake Victoria wetlands and the ecology of the Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis Niloticus Linné
Descrição da Área de Estudo The study was undertaken on the Ugandan part of Lake Victoria, near Jinja
Descrição do Design Detailed information on sampling design is available in Balirwa (1998). Sampling was conducted in shallow habitats (< 2.5m depth) of wetland lake interface. The habitats were differentiated by the dominant plant species in the wetland i.e.: Cyperus papyrus, Vossia cuspidata, Typha domingensis, Phragmites mauritianus and, Eichhonia crassipes. Sampling was conducted

Métodos de Amostragem

Sampling was conducted parallel to the shoreline off each dominant vegetation type. For each habitat type, sampling was done within 20 m from the shore and beyond, between 20m and about 70 m away from the shoreline. Fish was captured using gillnets and basket traps set overnight. Complete details of sampling are available in Balirwa (1998).

Área de Estudo Sampling was conducted on the Ugandan part of Lake Victoria, near Jinja. The sampling was from 1993 to 1996.
Controle de Qualidade All scientific names were validated using FishBase (Froese & Paully, 2018).

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. Geo-referencing and coordinate conversions The coordinates associated with the dataset were retrieved from Balirwa (1998). These were transformed to decimal degrees using online coordinate conversion tools including canadensys (http://data.canadensys.net/tools/coordinates) and PGC Coordinate Converter (https://www.pgc.umn.edu/apps/convert/) of the University of Minnesota. The locations verified in Google Earth.
  2. Confirming fish species names Species names were confirmed using FishBase (Froese & Paully, 2018). For the species that were allocated to the genus Barbus in the original survey data, the currently accepted nomenclature, Labeobarbus for the large hexaploid species was adopted (Van Ginneken et al., 2017; Vreven et al. 2016). All haplochromine cichlids are allocated to genus Haplochromis which is accepted in Fishbase.
