蛇ju属一新亚种记述

通过对采自云南程海和珠江、闽江、长江、辽河、松花江等水系蛇ju标本的形态、度量特征进行仔细分析和比较，认为蛇ju程海种群是蛇ju的1个新亚种，命名为程海蛇ju（Saurogobio dabryi chenghaiensis）。程海蛇ju的特征为：吻皮发达，盖过上唇；上下唇布满发达的乳突；体及尾柄极细长，体高为体长的12.7％-15.0％，尾柄高为体长的5.5％-6.1％、为尾柄长的31.8％-39.1％；沿体侧中轴自鳃孔上方至尾鳍基具一浅色暗纹，其上布有6-11个大型棒状黑斑（黑斑长为宽的2-4倍）；肛门位于腹鳍长度的中点之后；尾鳍最长鳍条为其最短鳍条的2倍以上；仅分布于云南程海。

A baseline survey of water quality, invertebrates, fisheries and socioeconomics on Lake Edward for proposed seismic surveys in block 4B : Final report

The National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI) on behalf of OPEP Consult Ltd undertook a baseline survey of the transition zone (basically along the shoreline) and near shore habitats of the Uganda apart of Lake Edward and Kazinga channel during December 2007 to January 2008. A major objective of the baseline survey was to generate baseline information on the aquatic ecosystem features related to the fisheries and socio-economics of the fish catch including issues raised by residents in the fish landing sites. Therefore, the baseline survey captured information on water quality, the aquatic invertebrate fauna, aspects of fish biology and ecology, the fish catch including facilities at fish landings, value in the catch and related fisheries socio-economic issues perceived by residents in the settled areas along the shores.

Final report of the baseline data reconstruction for the Quality Assurance for Fish Marketing Project

A baseline survey for the project which had been conducted in 2009 had gaps that could not allow assessment of project performance in the outcome and impact indicators to be made. This study was, therefore, commissioned to reconstruct the baseline data, aligned to the impact and outcome indicators on the project logframe and results framework, against which project achievements could be assessed. The purpose and scope of the study was to reconstruct the baseline data and analysis describing the situation prior to QAFM Project inception, taking 2008 as the baseline year, which was aligned to the project logframe outcome and impact indicators; to collect data on current status to compare project outcome (and where possible impact) in improved fish handling sites in comparison with the baseline as well as with comparable non-improved fish landing sites as control group. The study was conducted through secondary data search from sources at NaFIRRI, DFR and ICEIDA. Field data collection was carried out using a sample survey covering 312 respondents including boat and gear owners, crew members, processors and traders at eight project and two control landing sites. Key Informant Interviews were conducted with DFOs and BMU leaders in the study districts and landing sites respectively.

Aquatic and fisheries survey of the upper Victoria Nile: a report prepared for AES Nile Power Bujagali hydropower project, final report

The aquatic ecosystem of the Upper Victoria Nile is part of a wider complex of water bodies (lakes and rivers) in Uganda that is of immense socioeconomic importance, especially the fisheries. A source of food, income, energy, irrigation and drinking water, the protection, sustainable use and management of the Upper Victoria Nile water resources are vital to Uganda's economy. The Upper Victoria Nile,due to its abundance of socio-economic benefits,provides a significant contribution to Uganda's economy. The fisheries contribute to the sector as a major source of the export earnings, second to coffee (NEMA,1996), sustain small fishing villages,provide income and generally improve nutrition. Apart from the socio-economic significance of the fisheries,the riverine features of the Upper Victoria Nile, especially its hydropower potential,distinguish this river from the rest of the aquatic ecosystems in the country.

Final report of the fisheries catch assessment survey in the Ugandan waters of Lake Victoria for the March 2010 survey

This report presents findings of the CAS conducted in the Ugandan waters of Lake Victoria in March 2010. The results of the previous ten CASs conducted under the same programme in July, August, September and November 2005; in March, August and December 2006; in March, and August 2007; in February and December 2008 are included to show the emerging trends. The report also presents total annual catch estimates for the Ugandan part of the lake from 2005 to 2010.

树ju免疫细胞体外感染Ⅰ型人免疫缺陷病毒的实验研究

报告以不同的HIV-1病毒株体外感染树ju免疫细胞的实验研究,结果表明树ju的这些免疫细胞在体外未能感染上HIV-1,可能的原因是树ju的这些免疫细胞的HIV-1受体(CD4)和辅助受体(CCR5或CXCR4)与人的免疫细胞差别较大。
