(2016-01-01)We investigated the efficacy of Nicotina tobacum as an anti-parasitic chemical to freshwater leeches of the genus Hirudinea, by assessing their behavioral and survival responses to different concentrations and ages of N. ... -
Effects of pure and crude papain on the utilization and digestibility of diets containing hydrolysed feather meal by Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)
(KENYA MARINE AND FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 2014)This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pure and crude papain on the digestibility and utilization of diets containing hydrolysed feather meal (HFM) by Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) under indoor and ... -
Efficiency of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) and amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) in removing nutrients from a smallscale recirculating aquaponic system
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)In aquaponic systems, plants absorb dissolved nutrients from aquaculture wastewater for their growth. The removal of nutrients allows reuse of water and minimises wastewater discharge to the surrounding environment. This ... -
