Uncovering Natural Behavior and Environmental Adaptations of Wild Electric Fish in the Lake Nabugabo Region in Uganda
REFNo: NS638ES

The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1) Record and identify the electric signals produced by mormyrid fish in different habitats in the Lake Nabugabo area that vary in their temperature, DO content, and structural complexity. 2) Investigate the abundance and behavior of mormyrid fish in the different habitats by extracting key information from the electric signals (frequency of fish encounters, number of fish per encounter, detected species, time of encounter) 3) Analyze the relationship between environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen, and light) and the behavior and distribution of mormyrid fish 4) Derive an assessment of the environmental adaptations and behavioral patterns of the mormyrids inhabiting the Lake Nabugabo area that helps to evaluate the potential impact of climate change on mormyrid fish populations and their local ecosystem
