Small Estuarine and Non-Estuarine Mangrove Ecosystems of Tanzania: Overlooked Coastal Habitats?
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2016-03-23)
Small estuaries and non-estuarine habitats harboring mangroves are very important ecosystems which provide important ecosystem goods and services; such as provision of ecological niches for juvenile fishes and invertebrates, ...
Fisheries Statistics for Lake Victoria, Tanzania
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2017-11-29)
Time series fisheries statistics data mainly from Frame Surveys, Catch Assessment Surveys and Fisheries Annual Statistics Reports for Lake Victoria from 1967–2016 were collected from the Fisheries Development Division in ...
The decline in phytoplankton biomass and prawn catches in the Rufiji-Mafia Channel, Tanzania
(African Journals Online, 2016-11-27)
The world’s oceans have seen significant declines in phytoplankton-the primary food source in the marine environment. This decline in primary producers is likely to impact the food chain and functions of most coastal and ...
Small Scale Fisheries Management: Lessons from Cockle Harvesters in Nicaragua and Tanzania
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2010-06-01)
The role of women in gleaning fisheries tends to be underestimated and poorly documented although they play an important role in coastal food security and income generation. This article describes two initiatives for ...
High-frequency dynamics of pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature in the coastal ecosystems of the Tanga- Pemba Seascape: implications for upwelling-enhanced ocean acidification and deoxygenation
(Frontiers, 2024-01-08)
Ocean acidification, deoxygenation, and warming are three interconnected
global change challenges caused by increased anthropogenic carbon
emissions. These issues present substantial threats to marine organisms,
ecosystems, ...

Using fishers’ local ecological knowledge for management of small-scale fisheries in data-poor regions: Comparing seasonal interview and field observation records in East Africa
(Elsevier, 2023-08)
Fishers, scientists and policy makers need to describe, understand and “agree on” variations in fish catches caused by exploitation and climate change for effective fisheries management. To achieve this, relevant data with ...
Caudal fin as a proxy for dorsal muscle for nutrient enrichment monitoring using stable isotope analysis: the case of Gerres filamentosus and G. oyena from mangrove creeks of Tanzania
(Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2022)
The use of fish dorsal muscles in stable isotope studies, which is an invasive method that results in fish deaths, limits their applicability for rare and endangered fish species, as well as when large sample sizes and ...
Seasonal and spatial variation of surface current in the Pemba Channel, Tanzania
(PLOS ONE, 2019-01-07)
