Underexplored diversity of gill monogeneans in cichlids from Lake Tanganyika: eight new species of Cichlidogyrus Paperna, 1960 (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) from the northern basin of the lake, with remarks on the vagina and the heel of the male copulatory organ

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Lake Tanganyika harbours the most diverse cichlid assemblage of the Great African Lakes. Considering its cichlid flocks consist of approximately 250 endemic species, we can hypothesize a high species-richness in their often quite host-specific

Performance of Lacustrine Protected Areas (LPAs) on Lake Victoria: A Case of Bulago, Uganda

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Bulago Lacustrine Protected Area (LPA) on Lake Victoria, Uganda, serves as a sanctuary for fish stocks and biodiversity. This study assesses fish catch per unit effort (CPUE) within LPA and in fishing grounds outside LPA. Using five years of quarterly data, CPUE outside LPA rises first, then declines due to increased effort, with southern sites ...

Impact of Load Shedding on Fresh Fish Suppliers and Consumers in Chinsali District, Zambia

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fresh fish is highly perishable and requires an efficient cold chain to maintain quality and safety. In Zambia, recurrent load shedding disrupts refrigeration and storage systems, increasing the risk of post‐harvest losses and food safety. This study examined the effects of load shedding on fresh fish handling, supply and consumer access in ...

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Understanding the 3D Hydrodynamics of Lake Tanganyika: Insights From Modeling Circulation Patterns Using a 3D ROMS Model

Geophysical Research Letters
This study simulates circulation patterns in Lake Tanganyika, an economically vital lake in East and Central Africa that has experienced significant warming, and reduced fishery yields in recent decades.

Testing Models for Upper Mantle Earthquakes in the Tanganyika‐Rukwa Rift, Africa

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Rifts that initiate in mechanically strong, stable continental lithosphere are characterized by M > 5 earthquakes at depths >35 km near or below the crust mantle interface. Current models for deep rift zone earthquakes invoke elevated pore pressures associated with magmatism, and rapid stressing from magma intrusions.

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

Catfishes from the North-Western Part of Lake Tanganyika: Contribution to a Reference Library of DNA Barcodes

Diversity
In spite of the global barcoding effort, there is still a lack of genetic data on African freshwater fishes. We aimed to contribute to bridging this gap by providing molecular data on commercially important catfish species from the north-western part of ...

Trophic Niche Differentiation and Mercury Levels in Cyphotilapia frontosa and C. gibberosa Along the East Coast of Lake Tanganyika

Fishes
Diet, trophic niche, and mercury were examined for Cyphotilapia frontosa and C. gibberosa along the east coast of Lake Tanganyika, from northern Burundi to the southern region near the Zambian border. Mercury levels were generally low across populations,

Ancyrocephalidae (Monogenea) of Lake Tanganyika: I: Four new species of Cichlidogyrus from Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Teleostei: Cichlidae), the first record of this parasite family in the basin

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Examination of gill parasites from Ophthalmotilapia ventralis (Boulenger, 1898) in Lake Tanganyika (Africa) revealed the presence of four new species of Monogenea, all members of Cichlidogyrus Paperna, 1960 (Ancyrocephalidae).
