“…Lango have had high numbers of fish species in previous studies Total MIBI Scores (Gichuki et al, 2001;Ochumba & Manyala, 1992). However, the habitat quality in these sites has been degraded as evidenced by intense human activity (swimming, fishing, sand mining, laundry washing and animal watering).…”

“…Aquatic plants grow profusely in the tropics and many of them are also used for subsistence of human livelihood support by several thousands of rural families in developing countries (Gichuki et al 2001, Ghosh 2005. Since the response of individual plant species is known to be related to the variation in environmental factors, the presence/absence of hydrophytes, which could easily be monitored by visual inspection, could Ann.…”

“…The study conducted by Alvarez et al (2012); and Mulatu et al (2014) found that wetland drainage for the cultivation of wetlands promoted the invasion of upland weed species Additionally, the species Cyperus avescent, Cyperus atterrimus, and Ludwigia abyssinica were invasive, representing good indicators of impaired wetlands, and are common upland weeds in Eastern Africa (Alvarez et al 2012). The presence of native wetland plant species such as Cyperus avescent, Cyperus atterrimus, and Ludwigia abyssinica within the undisturbed part of the studied wetland indicated that part is under good wetland conditions (Gichuki et al 2001;Mulatu et al 2014). From 48 plant species, 13 species like Commelina forskalaei (15.6%), Leersia hexandra (12.96%), Digitaria sanguinalis (12%), Oplismenus spp.…”
