2.4 Habitat sampling
In situ water quality parameters (temperature, dissolves oxygen, pH,
turbidity and conductivity) at each sampling point were collected and
recording on a daily basis. A YSI model 85 meter was used to measure the
variables except for pH which was measured with a handheld electronic pH
meter. Moreover, the upper Kabompo River is a lotic environment with
relatively similar conditions and that the sampling points are in close
proximity along the fluvial gradient.
