Recent research in the African Great Lakes: fisheries, biodiversity and cichlid evolution [PDF]

, 2003
The East African Great Lakes are now well known for (1) their fisheries, of vital importance for their rapidly rising riparian human populations, and (2) as biodiversity hotspots with spectacular endemic faunas, of which the flocks of cichlid fishes ...

Thermophilic Sulfate Reduction in Hydrothermal Sediment of Lake Tanganyika, East Africa [PDF]

, 1994
In environments with temperatures above 60 degrees C, thermophilic prokaryotes are the only metabolically active life-forms. By using the (SO42-)-S-35 tracer technique, we studied the activity of sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) in hot sediment from

A review of the uptake of sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract As climate change reshapes agriculture and food systems across the globe, aquaculture in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) is at a turning point. Sustainable climate‐smart aquaculture (SCSAq) aims to make fish farming more productive, resilient to climate change, and environmentally friendly while also improving livelihoods and nutrition.

A new combination and typification of Pouzolzia peteri Friis (Urticaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Pouzolzia peteri, a lesser‐known species from the African continent, is currently classified as a member of the genus Pouzolzia. However, based on the morphological characteristics of its male flowers and leaf venation, its transfer to the genus Gonostegia is proposed.

Tanganyika Lake, Modeling the Eco-hydrodynamics

, 2012
The model consists of a four-component ecosystem model, coupled to a hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic model considers the Lake as two homogeneous layers of different density lying above each other, representing the warm epilimnion (surface mixed layer) and cold dense hypolimnion (lower layer) separated by a thermocline (Naithani et al., 2002, 2003)
