    Ecological aspects of the macroinvertebrates associated with two submersed macrophytes in Lake Kariba
    (2010) Phiri, Crispen; Day, Jenny
    Lagarosiphon ilicifolius Obermeyer and Vallisneria aethiopica Fenzl are the most common and abundant submerged macrophytes in shallow inshore waters of Sanyati Basin, Lake Kariba. Lagarosiphon is structurally more complex than Vallisneria. This study considered the macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with the two plant species with respect to (i) differences in structural complexity, (ii) predator-prey interactions and (iii) water physicochemical conditions.
