Assessment of Fish Production Potential in Bishoftu Crater Lakes, Bishoftu, E.Shoa Zone
Author(s): Lemma Abera Hirpo*
Bishoftu crater lakes, economically important lakes in the country. However, the physico-chemical parameters of the lake seem to be threatened by anthropogenic, which in turn affects biotic factors as reflected in fish catch. A study was made to assess the current physico-chemical characteristics, to assess the composition and production potential of the fishes and to assess the constraints that affects the production of the fishes in the lakes during July 2018-June 2021 in the waterbodies. Temperature ranged from 20.06 ± 0.3 0 C (L. Hora-Kilole) to 21.3 ± 1.50C (L. Hora-Arsedi) whereas pH ranged from 8.4 ± 0.8 (L. Koriftu) to 9.1 ± 0.1(Hora-Kilole). Dissolved oxygen varied from 6.4.31 ± 0.8 to 7.9 ± 0.9 mg/l. Low dissolved oxygen was measured at Lake Koriftu categorized as heavily impacted sites. Conductiv.. View More»
