ABSTRACT
Some aspects of the ecology of Barbus amphigramma Boulinger 1908 which
included distribution and abundance, effects of physico-chemical parameters on the
species, growth parameters, food and feeding habits and reproduction in Lake
Naivasha and River Malewa were investigated using standard methods and
procedures. The study covered nine months from February to October 2003. There
was an overall influence of seasonal long rains in Lake Naivasha and River Malewa
on dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, pH and zooplankton abundance, which recorded
high levels during the months that coincided with the rains. Other parameters such as
temperature, conductivity, alkalinity, and secchi depth were highest during the
months that coincided with the dry season. B. amphigramma dominated the fish
species composition throughout the study period. There were significant differences
in the abundance of B. amphigramma in all the seven sites sampled (ANOV A, p
