The Anwai River is the most important river in Asaba, Nigeria, because of its many uses, and these include abattoir activities. The aim of this study was to assess the surface water and surrounding soil of the Anwai River for the effects of abattoir activities during the wet and dry seasons of 2020. The quality of soil and water samples was analysed using standard procedures as set by the American Public Health Association. Results of water analyses showed that pH, total dissolved solids and total suspended solids varied from 6.45 to 6.67, 13.50 mg L−1 to 24.42 mg L−1, and 2.19 ± 0.04 mg L−1 to 10.79 mg L−1, respectively. Soil pH, total organic content, Pd and Cr had a range of 5.83 to 7.65 pH units, 0.15 to 2.74%, 1.88 ± 0.03 to 22.8 ± 0.28 mg kg−1, and 0.86 ± 0.03 to 4.87 ± 0.04 mg kg−1, respectively. There were significant differences between Upstream, Midstream (by the abattoir) and Downstream samples; however, there were no significant differences between dry and wet season results for most of the parameters. Midstream values for the water quality index were 104.89 and 119.34 in the dry and wet seasons, respectively, which showed that the Midstream water samples were poor. The findings of this study showed that the abattoir activities were negatively impacting river water and soil quality.
安韦河是尼日利亚阿萨巴最重要的河流,因为它有许多用途,其中包括屠宰活动。本研究旨在评估 2020 年雨季和旱季期间安韦河地表水和周围土壤受屠宰场活动影响的情况。土壤和水样本的质量采用美国公共卫生协会制定的标准程序进行分析。水质分析结果显示,pH 值、溶解固体总量和悬浮固体总量分别为 6.45 至 6.67、13.50 毫克/升至 24.42 毫克/升、2.19 ± 0.04 毫克/升至 10.79 毫克/升。土壤 pH 值、总有机物含量、钯和铬的 pH 值范围分别为 5.83 至 7.65 个 pH 单位、0.15 至 2.74%、1.88 ± 0.03 至 22.8 ± 0.28 mg kg-1 和 0.86 ± 0.03 至 4.87 ± 0.04 mg kg-1。上游、中游(屠宰场旁)和下游样本之间存在明显差异;但是,大部分参数在旱季和雨季的结果没有明显差异。旱季和雨季的中游水质指数值分别为 104.89 和 119.34,这表明中游水样的水质较差。研究结果表明,屠宰场活动对河水和土壤质量造成了负面影响。

Validation of the generic name Prescottiella gen. nov. (Desmidiales, Zygnematophyceae): a rare African desmid 属名Prescottiella gen.
IF 1.4 4区 环境科学与生态学 Q3 MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-10-02 DOI: 10.2989/16085914.2023.2258176

Prescottiella sudanensis is a rare, asymmetrical desmid currently known from only a few countries in equatorial Africa. During the present study, P. sudanensis cells were found in water samples from Vogel Pan located in the far north-eastern side of Namibia, thereby expanding the known geographical distribution of the species. The location of the sampling site, which is situated in a direct line halfway between the Makgadikgadi pans and Okavango Delta towards the east (Botswana) and the Etosha pans towards the west (Namibia), suggests that migrating birds are likely vectors spreading desmids from one waterbody to another. In this paper a morphological description (including dimensions) and micrographs of P. sudanensis are presented, and the known geographical distribution of the species is discussed in relation to migration routes of birds. As the genus and species names are invalid according to ICN Art. 40.1, the names are also validated in this paper.
苏丹蝶(Prescottiella sudanensis)是一种罕见的非对称蝶类,目前仅在赤道非洲的几个国家发现过。本研究在纳米比亚东北部沃格尔潘(Vogel Pan)的水样中发现了 P. sudanensis 细胞,从而扩大了该物种的已知地理分布。取样地点位于马卡迪卡迪平原和奥卡万戈三角洲(博茨瓦纳)东部与埃托沙平原(纳米比亚)西部之间的直线上,这表明迁徙鸟类很可能是将脱壳类动物从一个水体传播到另一个水体的媒介。本文介绍了苏丹蝇(P. sudanensis)的形态描述(包括尺寸)和显微照片,并结合鸟类迁徙路线讨论了该物种的已知地理分布。根据《国际鸟类种名公约》第 40.1 条,属名和种名无效。40.1 的规定,这些名称也在本文中得到了验证。

A preliminary study into the detection of fish environmental DNA in selected South African estuaries 南非部分河口鱼类环境 DNA 检测初步研究
IF 1.4 4区 环境科学与生态学 Q3 MARINE & FRESHWATER BIOLOGY Pub Date : 2023-10-02 DOI: 10.2989/16085914.2023.2288341

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful technique for the non-invasive and comprehensive monitoring of entire ecosystems. Despite its many advantages, the use of eDNA in South Africa as an assessment tool for fish biodiversity is largely underutilised. This study was performed as an initial screening to assess the efficiency of the eDNA method for characterising fish communities in South African waters using the metabarcoding approach. Water samples were collected from eight estuaries and vacuum filtered using 0.45 μm nylon membrane filters. DNA was extracted from the filters, and sample extracts underwent PCR assaying using MiFish primers for the 12S rRNA gene, prior to being sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform. The resulting sequence data produced 1 574 092 raw reads, which resulted in 119 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) after filtering and clustering. Taxonomic assignment of the OTUs produced four different taxonomic groups and one group representing unidentified sequences. The group with the highest number of OTUs (54%) was assigned to fish taxa consisting of 12 families and 22 genera identified across all estuaries, with only 16 taxa identified to species level. As this was a preliminary study, few samples were collected, and therefore several recommendations for a more comprehensive study design are provided. Overall, these results support the hypothesis that the eDNA metabarcoding approach can efficiently detect fish species in South African estuarine environments.
环境 DNA(eDNA)是一种对整个生态系统进行非侵入性综合监测的强大技术。尽管 eDNA 有很多优点,但在南非,将其作为鱼类生物多样性评估工具的使用率还很低。本研究对 eDNA 方法进行了初步筛选,以评估 eDNA 方法使用代谢编码方法描述南非水域鱼类群落特征的效率。从八个河口采集水样,并使用 0.45 μm 尼龙膜过滤器进行真空过滤。从过滤器中提取 DNA,使用 MiFish 12S rRNA 基因引物对样本提取物进行 PCR 分析,然后在 Illumina MiSeq 平台上进行测序。测序数据产生了 1 574 092 个原始读数,经过过滤和聚类后产生了 119 个可操作的分类单元(OTU)。对 OTUs 进行分类分配后,产生了四个不同的分类组和一个代表未识别序列的组。OTU数量最多的一组(54%)是鱼类分类群,包括在所有河口发现的12个科和22个属,其中只有16个分类群被鉴定为鱼种。由于这是一项初步研究,收集的样本很少,因此提出了一些关于更全面研究设计的建议。总体而言,这些结果支持 eDNA 代谢编码方法可以有效检测南非河口环境中鱼类物种的假设。

The study aimed to isolate and describe the monogenean parasites of the southern mouthbrooder, Pseudocrenilabrus philander (Weber, 1897), an endemic fish species of the Limpopo River basin in southern Africa. During summer and winter between November 2013 and August 2014, 86 specimens of P. philander were collected from the Nwanedi River (South Africa) and Bubi River (Zimbabwe). Monogenean parasites were isolated from the skin, gills and stomach. Morphometric evaluations revealed the presence of six species from three genera: Enterogyrus coronatus Pariselle, Lambert & Euzet, 1991, Gyrodactylus thlapi Christison, Shinn & van As, 2005, Cichlidogyrus philander Douëllou, 1993, Cichlidogyrus tilapiae Paperna, 1960, and Cichlidogyrus sp. 1 and sp. 2. Morphological and metrical characterisations of the species found during the present study are presented in detail. The presence of C. philander from the Nwanedi River as well as E. coronatus and C. tilapiae from the Bubi River represent new geographical records. Pseudocrenilabrus philander is reported for the first time to host C. tilapiae.

Limnological features and water-quality changes of two Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes, Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo 埃塞俄比亚大裂谷两个湖泊Abaya湖和Chamo湖的湖泊特征和水质变化

We conducted a study in Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo, the two largest Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes, between 2016 and 2019, to evaluate their limnological features and infer longer-term changes in some water-quality parameters. Data generated through in situ measurements and laboratory analyses of physico-chemical parameters and the plankton communities were compared with results from the literature. Turbidity, salinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorous showed an increasing trend in Lake Abaya, while in Lake Chamo conductivity, salinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorous showed an increasing trend. In both lakes the water transparency and chlorophyll a concentration showed a declining trend. Despite higher available nutrients in Lake Abaya compared with Lake Chamo, higher turbidity with suspended solids contributed to lower chlorophyll-a concentrations and lower zooplankton abundance. The abundances of rotifers and crustaceans were lower in Lake Abaya compared with Lake Chamo. The mean trophic state index using total phosphorus, Secchi depth and chlorophyll-a shows that both lakes are in a eutrophic state. Our findings are consistent with previous studies and indicate that changes in major limnological features are a signal to take intervention measures to prevent further ecological degradation and to sustain the ecological services and livelihoods of fishers who are directly dependent on the lakes.
我们在2016年至2019年期间对埃塞俄比亚裂谷最大的两个湖泊Abaya湖和Chamo湖进行了一项研究,以评估它们的湖泊特征,并推断一些水质参数的长期变化。通过实地测量和实验室分析获得的物理化学参数和浮游生物群落的数据与文献结果进行了比较。阿巴亚湖的浊度、盐度、硝酸盐和可溶性活性磷呈上升趋势,而查莫湖的电导率、盐度、硝酸盐和可溶性活性磷呈上升趋势。两湖水体透明度和叶绿素a浓度均呈下降趋势。尽管Abaya湖的有效营养物质比Chamo湖高,但较高的浊度和悬浮物导致叶绿素-a浓度较低,浮游动物丰度较低。阿巴亚湖轮虫和甲壳类动物的丰度低于查莫湖。利用总磷、Secchi深度和叶绿素-a的平均营养状态指数表明,两个湖泊都处于富营养化状态。我们的研究结果与以往的研究结果一致,并表明主要湖泊特征的变化是采取干预措施的信号,以防止进一步的生态退化,并维持直接依赖湖泊的渔民的生态服务和生计。

Turbidity, salinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorous showed an increasing trend in Lake Abaya, while in Lake Chamo conductivity, salinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorous showed an increasing trend. In both lakes the water transparency and chlorophyll a concentration showed a declining trend. Despite higher available nutrients in Lake Abaya compared with Lake Chamo, higher turbidity with suspended solids contributed to lower chlorophyll-a concentrations and lower zooplankton abundance. The abundances of rotifers and crustaceans were lower in Lake Abaya compared with Lake Chamo. The mean trophic state index using total phosphorus, Secchi depth and chlorophyll-a shows that both lakes are in a eutrophic state. Our findings are consistent with previous studies and indicate that changes in major limnological features are a signal to take intervention measures to prevent further ecological degradation and to sustain the ecological services and livelihoods of fishers who are directly dependent on the lakes.","PeriodicalId":7864,"journal":{"name":"African Journal of Aquatic Science","volume":"48 1","pages":"237 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69845799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study investigated the relationship between sediment grain sizes and macroinvertebrate distribution along the Isiukhu River, a tropical stream in western Kenya. Ten sites in total were selected from the upstream, midstream and downstream areas. Sampling of sediments and macroinvertebrates was carried out twice a month from March 2018 to March 2019. Sediment was characterised as polymodal and extremely poorly sorted at the upstream; trimodal and extremely poorly sorted in the midstream; and polymodal and extremely poorly sorted towards the downstream of the river. Upstream sediments were fine gravelly mud and very coarse gravelly mud, while downstream sediments were very coarse gravelly muddy very fine sand and very fine gravelly, clayey very fine sand, indicating sediments became finer downstream. The study identified 993 individual macroinvertebrates from 21 families. Highest mean abundance (100 ± 9.2) was recorded at Kimangeti (upstream) while least was at Mutono (11 ± 0.7) (downstream). A regression model of the relationship between mean sediment grain size and mean macroinvertebrate abundance indicated that sediment grain size accounted for 28.7% of the spatial variability of macroinvertebrate abundance. The connection between sediment size and macroinvertebrate abundance and diversity in the Isiukhu River highlights that control of soil erosion in this catchment is important for the ecology of this river.
目前的研究调查了肯尼亚西部热带河流Isiukhu河沿岸沉积物粒度与大型无脊椎动物分布之间的关系。从上游、中游和下游地区总共选择了10个地点。2018年3月至2019年3月,每月对沉积物和大型无脊椎动物进行两次采样。沉积物的特征是多模式的,上游的分选极差;三体性,在中游分选极差;并且向河流下游多模式且分选极差。上游沉积物为细砾泥和极粗砾泥,而下游沉积物为极粗砾质泥极细砂和极细砾质、粘质极细砂,表明下游沉积物变得更细。该研究确定了来自21个科的993个大型无脊椎动物个体。Kimangeti(上游)的平均丰度最高(100±9.2),而Mutono(下游)的平均丰富度最低(11±0.7)。沉积物平均粒径与大型无脊椎动物平均丰度关系的回归模型表明,沉积物粒径占大型无脊椎动物丰度空间变异的28.7%。Isiukhu河沉积物大小与大型无脊椎动物丰度和多样性之间的联系突出表明,控制该流域的土壤侵蚀对该河的生态至关重要。
