Impacts of anthropogenic factors on fish community structure in Lebialem-Mone Forest Landscape of Cameroon

2010

Two sites of the Cross River within the Lebialem-Mone forest landscape of Cameroon were chosen, one of the sites faced with human activities (test site) and the other with no human pressure (control site). The lengths and weights of fish obtained from both sites were analyzed in SPSS.
