    Description: The catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is the leading aquatic crop in Nigeria. Most of the strains used in aquaculture are suffering from in-breeding depression with its attendant poor egg and sperm quality. There is therefore the need to explore the natural population of the fish to improve performance. This study was carried out to evaluate the growth performance of strains of the catfish across the fresh water systems of Nigeria. Collections were made from the six geopolitical zones namely: North-Central (Kogi), Northeast (Adamawa), Northwest (Kebbi), South-West (Oyo), Southeast (Anambra), South-South (Delta) and domesticated strain obtained from Lagos. The fish were bred in the wet laboratory of the Department of Fish Technology/Biotechnology of the Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Lagos and fed for 12 weeks before subjected to growth study. The study involved allocation of 25 juveniles of each strain in lm hapas installed in a 0.4 ha at Badore fish farm, Lagos, Nigeria,fed 3% body weight twice daily while sampling forth-nightly. The results showed that the domesticated strain of C. gariepinus performed significantly better (a=0.05) than the six wild strains studied. This may be attributable to selective breeding which probably had been carried out by the farmers from which the broodstocks were purchased and mixture of the gene pool of improved Dutch strain commonly cultured. There was however no significant variation in the SGR and FCR among the strain. However, the growth study showed that the strain from North-West (Kebbi) did not perform as much as other strains in terms of these growth indices. Hoewever, it had the highest survival (96%). The strains from Oyo and Anambra however showed better growth over the rest strains from the wild. The implication of the breeding potentials of C. geriepinus strains from Kebbi, Oyo and Anambra is that if several selective breeding of these strains are carried out and the gene pool of Kebhi is combined with any of these two, we are likely to obtain fish seed of better growth and survival.

    Effects of partial and total replacement of soyabean meal with pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) as alternative plant protein source in the diet of juvenile African mud catfish (Clarias gariepinus) (2021)

    Description: A 56-day feeding trial to investigate the effects of feeding varying levels of substituted Soybeam meal (SBL) with Pigeon pea seed meal (PSM) on the performance and carcass characteristics of Clarias gariepinus was conducted. Five isonitrogenous 40% crude protein diets were formulated where PSM Clarias gariepinus (15.74 ~c 1.22g) stocked at 15 fish/50 litres tanks were fed diets in triplicates twice daily to satiation and weight changes recorded weekly. Fish fed diet with 25% and 100% PSM inclusion gave the highest mean weight gain of 25.47g and 23.34g respectively (P〉0.05). There were no significant difference (P〉0.05) among the weight gain of other treatments. Fish fed diet containing 0% SBM and 100% PSM gave the highest gross food conversion efficiency and percentage weight gain of 43.50g and 12.l8g while fish fed diet containing 50% SBM and 50% PSM had the lowest of 35.67 and 9.99 respectively with no significant changes compared with other treatments. For good growth, fish farmers are advised to consider Pigeon pea seed meal either as a partial (25%) or total replacement (100%) for soybean meal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus juveniles.

    Hybridization and speciation among cichlids: the case of 'Wesafu', an ecotype cichlid (2021)
    Fisheries Society of Nigeria | Lagos (Nigeria)

    Description: Fishes of the family Cichlidae are known for spectacular adaptive radiation and therefore serve as a model for evolutionary and ecological studies. They are highly speciated due to hybridization that frequently occur in the wild. The existence of an ecotype cichlid, ’wesafu’ in Epe Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria appears to be the result of such hybridization. This paper reviews the profile of wesafu and compare the species with other cichlids, evaluate the probable causes of speciation which includes diversity in feeding morphology, mate choice, adaptation to changes in habitat arising from water level dynamics , eco-phenotypic variation, restricted migration to predation and introgressive hybridization. The implication of such speciation and hybridization were also highlighted.

    Description: The proximate composition of some wild tilapiine fishes in Epe lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria was analyzed. The species were Sarotherodon melanotheron, Tilapia guineensis, Tilapia mariaei, Sarotherodon galileaus and an ecotype cichlid popularly called ‘wesafu’. Major nutrient compositions of raw muscles like protein, fat, moisture and ash were determined. Proximate compositions were found to be varied among the species. Protein was determined in Sarotherodon melanotheron (19.13%), T. guineensis (18.71%), T. mariae (18.08%), S. galileaus (18.34%) and ‘wesafu’ (21.80%) respectively. Lipid content was recorded as 0.82%, 0.40%, 0.60%, 0.65%, and 0.90% for the tilapia species. The highest level of moisture content was found in T. guineensis (81.70%) and the lowest was in ‘wesafu’ (78.50%). The percentage of ash content was highest in S. galileaus and S.melanotheron (1.75%) and lowest in T. guineensis (1.00%). The present study revealed highest protein content in the ecotype cichlid, wesafu (19.22%) and lowest value in T.mariae (18.08%) while fat was highest in ‘wesafu’ (0.90%). The results of this study reveal the nutritional significance of the ecotype cichlid, ‘wesafu’ above other cichlids of the lagoon.
