The non-Haplochromis fish fauna in Uganda: an update on the distribution and a review of data gaps.

Freshwater fishes are the second most threatened group of vertebrates after amphibians. In most developing countries, the conservation of freshwater fishes is largely hampered by limited information and data. The Red List assessments by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) provide a benchmark for monitoring and mitigating species extinction risk, but these assessments require, inter alia, quantitative information on the species range in the wild.

High-resolution bathymetries and shorelines for the Great Lakes of the White Nile basin.

HRBS-GLWNB 2020 presents the first open-source and high-resolution bathymetry, shoreline, and water level data for Lakes Victoria, Albert, Edward, and George in East Africa. For each Lake, these data have three primary products collected for this project. The bathymetric datasets were created from approximately 18 million acoustic soundings.
