Habitat Use And Characterization Of Young-of-the-year (yoy) Labeobarbus Spp. In Gumara River Lake Tana Sub-basin Ethiopia

Information regarding habitat requirements of different fish species at early life stages playsrnimportant roles for monitoring, protecting or managing fish populations and their habitats.rnAlthough spawning migration of Labeobarbus species to Gumara River has been reported byrnvarious studies, organized information on abundance, distribution, habitat use and preference ofrnyoung-of-the-year were not available. Such information is very important for the management ofrnthe declining endemic Labeobarbus species of Lake Tana. So, the aim of this study was torninvestigate abundance, habitat use and characterization of young-of-the-year of thernLabeobarbus species. Habitat use and characterization of young-of-the-year of the migratoryrnriverine spawning Labeobarbus species of Lake Tana were studied in Gumara River and itsrntributaries from November 2018 to April 2019. Physico-chemical parameters were measuredrnusing probes and there were significant variation (p
