Abstract: Length-weight relationships (LWRs) and condition factors are important for effective management of riverine fisheries. This study investigated the LWRs and condition factors of the dominant fish species from Nyangweta tributary of River Kuja, in Lake Victoria Catchment, Kenya. A total of 615 fish of seven dominant species were analyzed: Enteromius altianalis, Enteromius neumeyeri, Clarias theodorae,… Read More
