Zooplankton of Lake Kivu, East Africa, half a century after the Tanganyika sardine introduction (2006, background): “…m–2; Burgis, 1978) and Lake Awasa (0.45 g C m–2; Mengestou and Fernando, 1991) than to the annual average of Lake Malawi (0.89 g C m–2; Irvine, 1995) and of Lake Tanganyika (1.2 g C m–2; Kurki et al., 1999), whereas 605 the opposite is observed for the phytoplankton biomass (Sarmento et al., 2006).”
Abundance and distribution of picoplankton in tropical, oligotrophic Lake Kivu, eastern Africa (2008, background): “It is then conceivable that, in a highly nutrient limited environment such as Lake Kivu, colonial forms might be common, with lower numbers in the dry season when deep mixing brings up some nutrients from the deep layers, thus reducing nutrient limitation (Sarmento et al., 2006).”
