Author’s contributions
Kibru T., Adamneh D. and Marshet A. contributed considerably
during data collection, laboratory analysis of water, plankton
and fish samples. Kibru T. also wrote the first draft of the
manuscript and constructed the figures. Fasil D. organized the
manuscript in according with IJA-guideline. Fasil’s
contribution through proof reading, re-writing and correcting
the first draft and figures was instrumental during the
