Typha latifolia infestation and fish species migration in Hadejia Nguru wetland
The river was divided into two, within each sampling station. Open water and Typha latifolia infested area. The extent of coverage of Typha latifolia each year were determined using line transect. Experimental gill nets were used for the experiment in each location, and the data were collected every three months for the period of two years. The numbers of fish caught and their species in the three sampling sites were recorded. Seventy-four different species of fish were caught in the first year in open water while sixty one different species were caught in Typha latifolia infested area. In the second year seventy-four different species of fish were caught, while forty-five different species of fish were caught in Typha latifolia infested area. Typha latifolia proliferation affects all physio-chemical parameter in water.
