    Description: Field survey was conducted to evaluate the role of fishermen cooperative in the development of fisheries resources in Kainji Lake. The study was conducted with aid of questionnaires administered in five fishing villages namely Monnai, Yuna, Kaya, Malale and Tunga Danbaba. Ten questionnaires were administered in each fishing village majority of the fishermen interviewed are between the ages of 20-40 years. The results of the educational background revealed that 60% of the respondents were knowledgeable only on Quranic education. Majority of the respondents (86%) was members of fishermen cooperative societies. Only 32% of the respondents indicated to have benefited for loan and credit facilities. Sixty-nine (69) percent of fishermen realized income of between N1, 000-N2, and 000 daily. The major problem facing fishermen cooperative includes lack of capital, lack of access to loan and credit facilities, shortage of adequately trained and well-motivated fisheries extension workers, inadequate fishing inputs and high charge of fishing license fees by Kainji Lake fisheries Management and Conservation Unit (KLFMCU). Recommendation was made on how to improve fishermen cooperative for the development of the lake fisheries resources

    Description: The relative efficiency and selectivity of monofilament and multifilament trammel nets in southernbasin of Lake Kainji were studied. The netswere set and inspected daily for 30 consecutive fishingdays. Monofilaments trammel nets had the highest relative species diversity index of 0.52 whilemultifilament had 0.48. A total of 204 fish were caught, 64.7% was caught by monofilament netsand multifilament net 35.3%. This suggests, that there was significant (P 〈 0.05) variation incatching efficiency of the trammel netswith regardto Citharinus citharus with the monofilament nethaving the highest 79 fishes, but was not significant (P 〉 0.05) in overall number of differencespecies caught. However, trammel nets showed better efficiency for catching C. citharus, S.membranaceous, C. laticeps, O. nitoticus, Sarotherodon, than other species caught. There is nosignificant difference (P 〉 0.05) in the minimum and maximum sizes of fish caught, and thisindicates the efficiency of the trammel nets in avoiding juveniles of commercial species, due to themeshsizes used (3" and 5").This implies that rational exploitation could lead to proper management of fish stocks in the lake,which is now lacking. It is concluded that monofilament net is more efficient than multifilamenttrammel netKeywords:Trammel nets, Catch efficiency, Mode of capture, Lake Kainji

    Description: Assessment of Safety of Water Craft in Lake Kainji was conducted. A total of 50questionnaires were administered to five randomly selected fishing areas along the lake. The items used in planning a lake trip shows that 30.23% and 28.68% used pole and paddles, while 19.38% and 16.25% used outboard engine and bamboo stick respectively. Majority of the respondents (32.92%) used Styrofoam as a life saving facility followed by bamboo (Kala, 24.37%), while empty tanks/jerry can accounted for 15.85%, life bouy contributed 13.41 % of the life saving appliances.The major causes of accidents onboard include wave action/wind, free stump, overloading andstones in the lake. Others include wild aquatic animals and unskilled operators. 59.68% seek for help by shouting, while 32.26% by raising paddle up and whistle when seeking for help in boat in distress. Out of the respondents, 70.21 % maintained boats by washing regularly, while 29.79 by washing occasionally. Finally, recommendations were made on how to improve efficientmaneuverability for fishing and transport boats in Lake Kainji.

    Description: Over 200 hatcheries of fish exist in Nigeria with at least two hatcheries in each state of the federation but unfortunately over 50 percent are either non-functional or function far below their optimum production capacities. Also about 85 percent of the non-functional hatcheries belong to the government (-either federal, state, local government or institution). The associated problems with the non-functional hatcheries include: inadequate funding, poor maintenance of hatcheries facilities, high cost of feed inputs, in adequate infrastructure, differential growth and cannibalism in catfishes which result in poor fingerling harvest, low attitude and lack of commitment to government work. Privatization/ownership options are considered the best options for this paper and clues to solve the problems mentioned above through privatization are presented. Problems with privatization and private investment are also discussed. It was advised that in case the existing hatcheries are put in to full production, the national demand for fingerlings which is placed at 4.3 billion annually could be met with ease. Fingerlings production in the hatchery as the quickest revenue yielding aspect of fish farming (with high internal rate of returns and short pay back period) capable of attracting revenue within 2-3 mouths of a breeding exercise are emphasized.

    Description: A dug canoe similar to the one commonly used by artisanal fisherfolks 4.82M (LOA) was designed and constructed using locally available materials, as an alternative to hardwood that is becoming very scarce. The canoe have least cost, easy construction, adequate stability, light weight and easy maneuverability, as its attributes. The light displacement (weight empty) was 37kg which is light enough in relation to craft of same size commonly used by fishermen. The capacity of the canoe was 210 kg (3 persons) and total production cost of N18,400 which is not beyond the reach of an average fisherfolk. The craft is small and fall among the category of crafts that account for the greater percentage of national fish landing. The canoe also closely resembles the local fishing crafts, hence easy acceptance by local fisherfolk.

    Description: The study was carried out for a period of three months from June to August, 2008. Five fishing villages namely Tatabu, Tsafa, Tunga Fulani, Tunga Sarkin ruwa and Lafiagi were used as study area by administering a total of 50 questionnaires (I.R. 10 questionnaires in each village). The study was conducted to assess the type of fishing gear mostly used by the fishermen in Tatabu floodplain. The greatest proportion (98%) of the fishermen interviewed were within age bracket 25-35 years. Majority of the respondents were Muslims and married form the highest percentage (60%). Three types of fishing gears, gillnet, long line and Malian Trap were used. The fishermen using gillnets had the highest percentage (44.2%) and those using Malian traps were the lowest percentage (23%). the fishermen using mesh size 50.8mm were highest (38.7%) and those are using mesh size of 101.6mmformed the lowest percentage (6.5%). The fishery crafts, 38% of fishermen use 4.3 meters length overall (LOA) and fishermen using 5.5 meters formed the lowest percentage (6%). Most of the respondents (88%) realized about N100-900 as daily income while 12% obtained more than N900 as daily income (54%) of the respondent. The problems militating against successful fishing activities includes lack of provision of social amenities, provision of loan and procurement of fishing inputs at subsidized rate.

    Description: The effect of baits, rice bran (Oryza sativa L.) and corn bran (Zea mays L.) on fish aggregation and catch efficiency of castnet in Lake Kainji was conducted. 25.4mm stretched mesh size multifilament (PA) nylon net was used for the construction of castnet. The experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications for nineteen consecutive fishing days. Three treatments were employed; castnetting after baiting with rice bran, with corn bran, and castneting without bait (control). Thirteen fish species were caught from eight families. The number of fish caught was 336, of which 48.5 and 27.1 % were caught with corn bran and without bait while castnetting with rice bran recorded the least (24.4%). The biomass of fish caught was 4627.7g (4.6kg) of which the highest percentages 51.4 and 28.6% followed same trend as that of number of fish caught. Comparison of the overall number and biomass of fish capture indicated that Tilapia zillii ranked highest, followed by Citharinus citharus and Hydrocynus forskalii.
