    Description: Climate change has the potential to severely impact coastal and inland environments and ecosystems, and by extension fisheries and aquaculture. Coastal regions of the world are already experiencing flooding due to rise in sea level. In recent times, salinization of coastal areas due to flooding from storm surges and high tidal influence has been observed. Aquaculture is a fast growing agri-business venture in Nigeria presently and many coastal communities derive their livelihood from it. The culture of freshwater fish species that are very sensitive to high salinity may be threatened leading to mortality of stocked fish and loss of livelihood for coastal population. Consequently, there is urgent need for development and domestication of the Silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus that can tolerate higher salinity more than Mudcatfish (Clarias gariepinus). This will help mitigate the impact of salinization of coastal areas arising from sea water flooding on culture of fresh water fish species.

    Lenght-weight relationship and condition factor of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) cultured in sheltered outdoor tanks (2021)

    Description: Length-weight relationship (LWR) and condition factor (K) of ninety specimens of Blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron cultured for six months in sheltered outdoor tanks were conducted. Initial measurements averaged 0.04 g for weight, while the total length averaged 1.17 cm. Fortnightly, measurements of length and weight gain were recorded over a period of six months. At the end of the experiment, the total length averaged 12.58 cm while the average body weight was 28.55 g. The growth equation for the population studied is Log W = 2.808Log L - Log 1.6117 where the growth factor b estimated showed a negative algometric growth. The average condition factor k was found to be 1.754 ~c 0.329 and there was a very strong positive correlation (r = 0.99) between the length and weight of individuals examined. The correlation coefficient (R2) was estimated to be 0.9974. The implication of the LWR parameters to rearing this species in a confined enclosure was highlighted.
