Topic: Ntem River


  
  Stiassny The Fresh and Brackish Water Fishes of Lower Guinea
Kamdem (1993) and Kamdem and Teugels (1998; 1997; 1998) have studied the ecology of fishes in the Ntem River of Cameroon and Mbega and Teugels (2003) completed a study of fishes of the Lower Ogowe of Gabon.
The main river systems within the Lower Guinea ichthyofaunal province are, from Nigeria to the Congo mouth: the Cross, Wouri, Sanaga, Nyong, Ntem, M'bini (or Benito), Ogowe, Nyanga, Kouilou/Niari, and Chiloango in the third figure.
Similarly, there is close proximity between the upper reaches of the Ivindo River in Gabon and the Ntem River, suggestive of a past river capture of the upper Ivindo by the Ntem.

 Basins at Risk (BAR)
A river basin comprises all the land that drains through that river and its tributaries into the ocean or an internal lake or sea.
Discharge is considered to be the output of the river basin's main stem channel at the ocean.
River basins such as the Colorado that are deemed 'exotic' lose a great deal of water volume at the end of their path due to natural and man-made withdrawals.

The head of Nsango, the King of Bamum, was taken by Nso in the reign of Ndinko, the nineteenth chief of Ntem.
When a Ntem chief went to Banso in the past the Ntem people built him a temporary house outside the capital, and when business was finished they removed it.
The friendship between Ntem and Ndu in Nsungli (Nkambe Division) used to be close, but was spoilt during the time Chief Mfo of Ndu was given the tax to collect by the British with the agreement of Ntem.

 worldsurface.com - sustainable tourism for backpackers and independent travellers
Gabon and the basin of its major river, the Ogooué, are nearly coterminous; almost 90 percent of the basin lies within Gabon, comprising most of the eastern two-thirds of the country.
Two lesser regions, the Woleu-Ntem River basin to the north and the coastal plain of the west and southwest (defined by an arc of highlands running roughly parallel to the coast) separate the upper Ogooué basin from the Atlantic Ocean.
The lower Ogooué River collects water from a number of lakes on the coastal plain below Lambaréné before it empties into the Atlantic via a delta that separates the northern and southern stretches of the coastal plain.

 MARINE FISHERY RESOURCES OF CAMEROON: A REVIEW OF EXPLOITED FISH STOCKS
The hydrography and the marine fisheries are influenced by several rivers, e.g., the Wouri which waters Douala, the Sanaga River; the Nyong River; and the Ntem River in the extreme south of Cameroon.
The rainfall pattern also influences river discharge and the shrimp and finfish fisheries.
The annual rainfall for Douala is 3.78 m whereas Kribi on the estuary of Kienke River has an annual rainfall of 3.29 m.

 Canopee
A partial list of the mormyrid electric fishes from the Ogooué River basin of Gabon along with the waveforms of their electric organ discharges (EODs) which are approximately 1 millisecond in duration.
In 1895 when 33 year-old Mary Kingsley arrived on the Ogooué River to collect freshwater fishes for the British Museum and to study the culture of the country's inhabitants, 46 species of fishes were known from the river (Sauvage, 1884).
From her fish collection, 16 species were added to the fauna of the Ogooué River, seven of which proved to be new to science (Günther, 1896).

 Malaria Journal | Full text | Spatial variability in the density, distribution and vectorial capacity of anopheline ...
A significant association was found between the distance from the dwellings to the closest water point (River Ntem or secondary streams) and the total HBR (Table 2).
Most of the dwellings in zone 1 were located near to the River Ntem (potential breeding places) while dwellings of zone 2 and 3 were located closes to the secondary streams.
During this study, conducted in a small village, near to a large river and where three anopheline species live with markedly endophagic and antropophagic behaviour, the importance that the availability of suitable breeding places and their distance from the dwellings has on the HBR has been made clear.

 Update 2 April
After the town of Mitzic where I had a breakfast omelette and coffee, the road dropped down towards the river Muni and in no time it was back to the familiar muggy, humid conditions.
The town had turned its back on the river, and my attempt at getting past some of the wooden structures on stilts to the shore was foiled by the stench.
Very picturesque, the stilted houses were lined up on the river bank, the town stretching up to a high point on the mid river island.
