    Description: A number of 60 Juveniles of Oreochromis niloticus were stocked and divided into two plastic ponds of 0.90m by 0.60 in dimension respectively with initial total weight of 120g.The juveniles were two months and half old as at the time of collection and they were fed with 4mm of the feeds. Each pond contains thirty Oreochomis niloticus which were fed with local feeds, and coppens feed. After weighing the fishes in the two ponds, there was significant difference in the average weight and length, in which the pond that was fed with coppens has the highest average weight and length of 140g and 15.62cm respectively. The quality of the water was checked by measuring pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature of the water using water aquaculture kit. Model: FF-1 A.CAT No. 2430-0. The mortality rate was 0%, while the survivability rate was 100%.

    Description: Fish is one of the most nutritious diet on earth, and contributes a considerable proportion of its protein to the Nigerian populace. Fifty-four specimens composing of six samples from each species, were analyzed in frozen and smoked states, monthly. Each set of six specimens were cut into two equal parts and randomly re-arranged into two groups. One group was smoked while the other was preserved in the freezer (at-2~'C) for 5 days. The highest moisture content was observed in frozen samples of Mormyrops deliciosus thus: (77.14 ~c 11.05%). Smoked O. niloticus had the highest protein content (26.79 ~c 0.74%) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (13.37 ~c 2.57%). Smoked samples of Oreochromis niloticus recorded the highest fat content accounting for a value of (25.97 ~c 0.51 %) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (7.97 ~c 0.45%). It could be concluded that while frozen samples loosed nutrient, smoked ones gained nutrients in all three species. The study recommends that fish be consumed in their smoked state, in preference to frozen ones, in response to higher nutritive value. Oreochromis niloticus which recorded the highest nutritive value in crude protein content, should be consumed more, followed by Labeo coubie and Mormyrops deliciosus in that order.

    Description: The effects of Goldcrew, a chemical dispersant commonly used in crude oil spill incident, to alter interactions between the components of the crude and the biota in the ecosystem, were studied. We used a static renewal bioassay to study its effects on Bonny light crude using the tilapia, 0. niloticus at various concentrations for 50 days. A control experiment was also set up. The exposure concentration of the water accommodated fractions (WAF) of the mixture of the dispersant and Bonny Light crude, dispersed crude (DCOWAF-PAH) and the WAF of Bonny Light alone (COWAF-FIH) were 0.2,0.4,0.8 and 1.6m/L respectively. The mortalities of the fingerlings in different concentrations of the DCOWAF-PAH were 66.7%, 23.3%, 86.75% and 100% in the 0.2. 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6m/L exposure centrations respectively. At these concentrations, mortality was significantly different (P〈0.05) between the fingergerlings and fry, with a total mortality of 69.2% among the fingerlings, while the fry had 5.8% mortality in the 0.8 and 1.6ml/L concentrations with 13.3% 10.0% respectively but the differences were not statistically significant (p〈0.05). There was no mortality in the concentrations of COWAF- PAH. It can be said that Bonny Light was made more toxic to 0. niloticus by the presence of the dispersant; increased the susceptibility of the fingerlings to the mixture of crude and dispersant and influenced the behavior of the fish. There is therefore need to apply dispersants with caution especially around fish breeding and nursery ground.

    Description: Tilapia is the second leading aquatic crop globally, next to carps and its production has increased tremendously within the last decade. Its production is however affected by stunting, a phenomenon brought about by overpopulation due to precocious reproduction under mixed sex culture system. Several methods such as use of predatory fish, hybridization, polyploidy and sex reversal, using methyl testosterone have been employed w1th different degrees of success. This paper reviews the use of methyl testosterone in sex reversal of tilapia and its consequent effects on fish, man and environment. It established the preference of all-male tilapia due to better and more uniform growth under culture system. It has been demonstrated that the hormone does not have any adverse effect on fish flesh after cessation of treatment of tilapia fry. In like manner; ingestion of fish produced by sex reversal does not therefore harm man. However,one is not too sure of the effect of the hormone or its by- products on vital organs (liver, kidney, pancreas and gills), metabolic profile and nucleic acids. This may also affect muscle building and perceived libido-enhancement in man. On the environment, the steroid is either biodegraded or mineralized. It must be stated that escapee from tilapia hatchery into the natural water may, however, alter the dynamics of the environment due to unforeseen consequences.

    Description: Five pairs of brood stocks of Oreochromis niloticus (average weight of 350 ~c 25.8g) in a ratio of 1:1 male to female were used for the fry production to examine the prospect of utilization of safer and natural extract (Tribulus terrestris) as sex reversal agent in tilapia population control. Four hundred and fifty day-old fry were randomly distributed into 18 experimental tanks (30 litres capacity) representing five test diets (50% crude protein) containing varying inclusion levels of Tribulus terrestris extract at 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5g per 1kg of basal feed while diet six contain 50mg per 1kg of basal feed of 17-a-methyltestosterone (MT) served as the control diet. The growth performance parameter indices measured were Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Specific Growth Rate (SGR). At the end of the study, the survival rates and sex ratio were also measured and recorded. Data collected were subjected to 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) where significant means were tested using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at p = 0.05.

    Description: The study was conducted to assess the levels of heavy metals in water and the flesh of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Water and tilapia were sampled for a period of 12 months from October, 2003-september 2004. Water and muscle tissue were analysed for Cu, Cr, pb, and Zn using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The assessment showed Cr (3.35mg/l), Cu (0.75mg/l), pb (0.81mg/l) in water while Cr(2.27mg/kg) and pb (0.27mg/kg) were found to be high in the tissue samples and were above the values recommended by WHO and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)of the United Nations and therefore not safe for human consumption.

    Description: One of the priority research projects of the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) is broodstock development and mass propagation of silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus of which the broodstock is naturally abundant in New Gala River. Selected physical characteristics and water physico-chemical parameters of the upper reach of the New Calabar River at Aluu were investigated. The highest depth value of 9.20 m was recorded in the middle of the river. The width of the river measured during spring high tide and low tide were 174 m and 110 m respectively. The cross-sectional area and average flow velocity of the river were 797.13 m2 and 0.374 m/s respectively. The discharge of the river was computed as 298.13m3/s. The river water was acidic most of the period (Hydrogen ion concentration, pH: 5.12 to 7.43), with low total alkalinity values (4.00 to 12.00 mgCaCO3/L) and low total hardness values (11.5 to 51.2 mgCaCO3/L) which indicate that the river water is black and soft. There was significant (p~,0.05) seasonal variation in temperature (23.1 to 31.7~'C\}, Secchi transparency (9.30 to 19.00 cm), total hardness (11.5 to 51.2 mgCaCO3/L), dissolved oxygen (5.20 to 7.50 mg/L) and dissolved oxygen deficit (0.02 to 2.95mg/L). These results are useful for several stake holders who use the river as a sink for trade wastes, as source of water for fish farming, as source of broodstocks of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, as raw water for water treatment plants, and as means of transportation of industrial materials.

    Description: Mechanization of agriculture to promote and improve the yields from agricultural practices has necessitated the use of pesticides and other agrochemicals. The effects of using these pesticides on the environment are rarely considered by farmers. This study investigated the effects and sub-lethal effect of atrazine on tilapia, an ubiquitous culturable fish species. The 96 hr LC50 was determined using static renewal bioassay method while the effect on haematological parameters was determined after exposure for 3 weeks to sub-lethal doses of atrasine. The LC50 was found to be 6.977mg/l. Sub-lethal exposure resulted in anaemia and increased the white blood cell counts.
