The site attracts a number of bird species both Waterfowl species and land birds seen around the fish ponds and at the edges of the site.[1] The centre undertakes research on 300 fish species that are extinct as well as the threatened ones like the riverine Ningu (Labeo victorianus), Kisinja (Barbus spp), Nkolongo (Synodontis spp) and Kasulu (Mormyrids).[4]

Fish reared at the site
gollark: As far as I know "80+ White" is below bronze is below silver is below gold is below platinum/titanium or something.
gollark: I mostly just go by the 80+ certification and how well-reviewed it is.
gollark: I see. It's not very efficient, though, compared to other ones.
gollark: If those don't need really fast sequential disk IO you probably do not need that SSD. Also, you should consider a different PSU.
gollark: Also, you don't need thermal paste, the cooler ships with it.
