Respiratory Physiology of the Lake Magadi Tilapia (Oreochromis alcalicus grahami), a Fish Adapted to a Hot, Alkaline, and Frequently Hypoxic Environment
(The University of Chicago Press, 1996)
The tilapia Oreochromis alcalicus grahami is a unique ureotelic teleost, the only
fish that lives in the alkaline hotsprings of Lake Magadi, Kenya. Physical condi-
tions and fish behavior were monitored in the Fish ...
Na+ AND Cl~ EFFLUXES AND IONIC REGULATION IN TILAPIA GRAHAMI, A FISH LIVING IN CONDITIONS OF EXTREME ALKALINITY
(1981)
The osmoregularity ability of the cichlid Tilapia grahami enables this fish to live
in conditions of extreme alkalinity (Reite, Maloiy & Aashaug, 1974; Maloiy et al.
1978). In this paper we describe the ionic balance of ...
Dark And Yellow Rapeseed Hulls, Soybean Hulls And A Purified Fiber Source: Their Effects On Dry Matter, Energy, Protein And Amino Acid Digestibilities In Cannulated Pigs
(1984)
Hulls from Tower rapeseed (dark colored
cultivar), R500 rapeseed (yellow colored
cultivar) and soybean were included in semipurified
diets for growing pigs at 10%, to
investigate the effects of these fiber sources ...
Aquatic and Aerial Respiration Rates, Muscle Capillary Supply and Mitochondrial Volume Density in the Airbreathing Catfish (Clarias Mossambigus) Acclimated to Either Aerated or Hypoxic Water
(1983)
Specimens of the African air-breathing catfish Clarias mossambicus were acclimated to either aerated (PwO2 15.3 KPa) or hypoxic (PwO2 2.4KPa) water for up to 27 days at 20 °C. Routine respiration rate for fish acclimated ...
Digestive secretions in camels
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
The digestive secretions of both old world and new world camels are considered
The salivary glands closely resemble those of cattle and sheep both morphologically andphysiologically. Evidently, as in the Ruminantia, ...
The Morphometry of the Lung of the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus): Its Structural--Functional Correlations
(1985)
The lung of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus has been investigated by morphometric techniques. The volume of the lung was strongly correlated with body mass. The exchange tissue made up about 50% of the lung. ...
The structural functional correlation in the design of the bat lung. A morphometric study
(1984)
The lungs of five species of bat Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Miniopterus minor (Peters), Tadarida mops (De Blainville), Cynopterus brachyotis (Muller) and Cheiromeles torquatus (Horstield) have been analysed by morphometric ...
Effect of humoral antibodies on the course of Theileria parva infection (East Coast Fever) of cattle.
(University of Nairobi, 1975)
A study was made of the effects of serum and gamma-globulins from vaccinated cattle (donor cattle) given to cattle exposed to Theileria parva infection. The latter were treated with normal serum, with serum containing high ...
Serological types of Pasteurella haemolytica in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
The 12 known serotypes of P. haemolytica and the two biotypes A and T were found to occur in Kenya. Biotype T was more common in disease conditions than biotype A, which was more common in the nasal passages of healthy ...
The isolation of M nanum from a dog with skin lesions.
(University of Nairobi, 1974)
Microsporum nanum has been previously associated with ringworm in man and pigs. This is the first report of its isolation from lesions in a dog. Two alopecic lesions (1.5 cm in diameter) were present on the head; a similar ...
