Testing the role of turbidity on the visual sensitivity of an African cichlid fish (Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor victoriae)
REFNo: NS90ES
The goal of the proposed research is to better understand the influence of turbidity and other environmental stressors on behavior and development of visual and behavioural traits in an African cichlid fish (Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor victoriae). Environmental degradation can introduce persistent environmental stressors that impair many behaviors in fishes that could influence their ability see their environment, which can obscure reproduction, predation, and other inter/intra species visual cues. It is important to understand how species continue to persist in degraded tropical aquatic habitats to help conserve essential biodiversity for the health of aquatic ecosystems. We will investigate how important stressors, such as turbidity, influence the behavior and development of visual traits in a widespread African cichlid in the lakes, rivers, and swamps near Lake Nabugabo, western Uganda.
