Temporal and spatial distribution of microcrustacean zooplankton in relation to turbidity and other environmental factors in a large tropical lake (L. Tana, Ethiopia) (2004, background): “As preyfish for top-predators, like many of the ‘large barbs’ (Nagelkerke et al., 1994; de Graaf, 2003), these ‘small barbs’ are the basis for the commercial fish production.”
Ecomorphology of a size-structured tropical freshwater fish community (2004, methodology): “The possession of barbels indicates the importance of non-optic senses in feeding (Gilbert & Bailey 1972) and the benthic habit of the fishes (Gosline 1973, Aleev 1969, Gatz 1979, Nagelkerke et al. 1994).”
Resource partitioning by Lake Tana barbs predicted from fish morphometrics and prey characteristics (2004, background): “The barbs of Lake Tana grow to a large size (modus circa 32 cm, maximum 80 cm fork length) and show a wide range of morphological and ecological diversity (Nagelkerke et al., 1994).”
