    FISON | Lagos (Nigeria)
    In:  http://aquaticcommons.org/id/eprint/24205 | 19325 | 2018-05-16 15:31:07 | 24205 | Fisheries Society of Nigeria

    Description: The culture of oysters, clams, scallops, and other molluscs is collectively one of the fastest growing sectors of the aquaculture industry. An inherent issue with shellfish culture methods, particularly for off-bottom culture (i.e. floating trays, racks, long lines, strings, rafts), is biofouling. This can occur directly, by biofouling of the animals themselves, or indirectly, by fouling of cages, nets, filters, and other equipment. Problematic biofouling species have been identified and segmented into six groups: algae, barnacles, mussels, tubeworms, ascidians and hydroids. Controlling and mitigating biofouling can result in significant costs for commercial shellfish culture operations.
    Description: Includes: 1 table and 1 figure.;Also includes: 14 references.

    Description: This paper presents the design, construction and demonstration of an automatic fish feeder. It is a microcontroller-based system. This system is designed to dispense a predetermined amount of fish feed into an aquarium at a particular time each day. The device consists of a cylindrical can, distributing tubes and a stand. The dispensing of food is controlled by the use of a stepper motor, which is situated under the canister. A timer controlled switch is used to control the time at which the motor rotates, by a program burned into the microcontroller. The fish feeder was successfully fabricated and tested. It dispenses food automatically at set preset times. It is expected that this device will enhance the fish farming efforts of the local farmers, especially the armature farmers who combine fish farming with other businesses.

    Description: A design for the building of a monk gate that is safe and easy to operate was constructed for storing water in the pond as water harvesting structures, solving several purposes of farm needs such as supply of water for irrigation, cattle feed, fish production etc. The structure is made from mild steel plate and carbon steel ball valves. It functioned efficiently on installation into a monk designed for it (that has its groove).

    Design and construction of 1.5m coracle for pond activities (2021)
    FISON | Akure (Nigeria)

    Description: A coracle 1.5m (LOA) was designed and constructed using hardwood for the frame work and plywood for the base and side covering. It is oval in shape and after construction its light displacement was 24kg and with a dead weight (capacity) of I40kg (2 persons) with a cost estimate of N11,500. (US$83) When placed on water, it floated at a draft of 4.2cm and easily maneuvered by propelling with a paddle. The craft is characterized by light weight, portability, and ability to float at shallow draft. It could be used on shallow water body like ponds for aquaculture thereby increasing fish production.

    Occupation and health hazards in Nigerian coastal artisanal fisheries (2021)
    FISON | Lagos (Nigeria)

    Description: There are more occupational and health hazards in the Fishing Industry than in other occupational categories in the world. In Nigerian Industrial Fisheries, safety measures are regulated while little attention is given to safety standards in the artisanal fisheries. In West Africa, the coastal artisanal canoe fatality rates have been given in 1991-1994 to be 300 to 1,000 per 100,000 fishermen. Thus, the fatality rate in Nigerian artisanal fisheries, (coastal states) has been estimated to be 999 to 3,329 per 100,000 fishermen. The high rate is due to piracy, boundary disputes between fishing communities, unemployment, societal low value for human life and human labour. The paper discusses the various types of accidents associated with artisanal coastal fisheries and give recommendations. Fishermen have rights to safe working conditions in their working environment just as workers in offices and factories on land.

    A tailless aerial robotic flapper reveals that flies use torque coupling in rapid banked turns (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-09-14
    Description: Insects are among the most agile natural flyers. Hypotheses on their flight control cannot always be validated by experiments with animals or tethered robots. To this end, we developed a programmable and agile autonomous free-flying robot controlled through bio-inspired motion changes of its flapping wings. Despite being 55 times the size of a fruit fly, the robot can accurately mimic the rapid escape maneuvers of flies, including a correcting yaw rotation toward the escape heading. Because the robot’s yaw control was turned off, we showed that these yaw rotations result from passive, translation-induced aerodynamic coupling between the yaw torque and the roll and pitch torques produced throughout the maneuver. The robot enables new methods for studying animal flight, and its flight characteristics allow for real-world flight missions.

    Zeolitic imidazolate framework membranes made by ligand-induced permselectivation (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-09-07
    Description: Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) membranes are emerging as a promising energy-efficient separation technology. However, their reliable and scalable manufacturing remains a challenge. We demonstrate the fabrication of ZIF nanocomposite membranes by means of an all-vapor-phase processing method based on atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ZnO in a porous support followed by ligand-vapor treatment. After ALD, the obtained nanocomposite exhibits low flux and is not selective, whereas after ligand-vapor (2-methylimidazole) treatment, it is partially transformed to ZIF and shows stable performance with high mixture separation factor for propylene over propane (an energy-intensive high-volume separation) and high propylene flux. Membrane synthesis through ligand-induced permselectivation of a nonselective and impermeable deposit is shown to be simple and highly reproducible and holds promise for scalability.
