A flood pulse driven fish population model for the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Elservier, www.elsevier.com/, 2012-03-10)
The Okavango Delta is a large, remote, and ecologically significant wetland located in Botswana that receives a strong annual flood pulse. Although the hydrology in flood pulsed systems is often theorized to drive fish ...
Variation in assemblages of small fishes and microcrustaceans after inundation of rarely flooded wetlands of the lower Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Springer, www.springer.com, 2013-09-30)
Water extraction from floodplain river systems may alter patterns of inundation of adjacent wetlands and lead to loss of aquatic biodiversity. Water reaching the Okavango Delta (Delta), Botswana, may decrease due to excessive ...
Essential mineral content of common fish species in Chanoga, Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Academic Jornals, http://www.academicjournals.org, 2015-11-30)
Developing countries remain overwhelmed by nutritional problems caused mainly by poverty, natural disasters and political instabilities. The aim of this study was to determine essential mineral content of some common fish ...
Gillnet selectivity for the north African catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Clariidae), from the Upper Okavango Delta, Botswana.
(Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, http://www.aiep.pl/, 2015-06-30)
Successful fisheries management requires estimation of gillnet selectivity for optimum exploitation of the resource. In the Okavango Delta, no study has assessed the selectivity of gillnets for Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, ...
Livestock predation, household adaptation and compensation policy: a case study of Shorobe village in the northern Botswana
(Taylor & Francis, http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/ragr20, 2012-06-28)
Human-wildlife conflict is a worldwide phenomenon. Through a household survey supplemented by informal interviews, this study attempts to understand the dynamics of livestock predation by carnivores at village level in ...
Dynamics of the feeding ecology of selected fish species from the Okavango River delta, Botswana
(Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, https://www.aiep.pl, 2012)
Background. This study contributes to the understanding of the potential impact of changes in flooding patterns and (potential) fish production as a consequence of upstream developments in floodplain systems. Therefore, ...
