    Description: Greater proportion of the much needed rich animal protein and other essential nutrients for man's prolonged well-being, globally, is derived from fish. Three considered factors in production model for such aquaculture project include: the technology, suitable site for location of envisaged set up and market. While concerned and interested stakeholders can bring together the intelligentsia for such venture, the government can provide enabling environment, Noting that the adopted technology will consist of hardware (equipment and structures) and software (relevant human resource and globally accepted procedures), technology for the production of marine fish species can be assembled in Nigeria since there are engineers of various disciplines, fisheries researchers, fish farmers, hatchery operators, technologists, technicians, numerous marine and brackish water shell and finfishes and several kilometres of coastal area. There are industries that can fabricate various aspects of the facilities and equipment knowing fully well that corrosion free and non-toxic materials are a must for fish breeding operations. The challenge for regular power supply can be overcome by turning to alternative energy sources such as solar energy, or from sources such as gas, wind, or water, these being abundant in Nigeria. The first step in efforts to establish technology for the culture of marine fish in Nigeria and boost production in the face of dwindling production from the wild should be a review of literature and spirited efforts to adapt such for the nation. This paper focuses on success made so far in the culture of marine fish species in some parts of the world, and necessary steps to ensure their establishment in Nigeria.

    Description: A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of biscuit waste meal on the growth performance and utilization of Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A total of 300 juveniles of average weight 8.85g were randomly divided into 5 Treatments, each with three replicates. Twenty juveniles were distributed into fifteen happas (0.7m3) and each happa was suspended to 3/4 of its volume using kuralon ropes carefully tied round the bamboo poles across the concrete tanks. Five diets containing 40% crude protein were formulated in which maize was replaced with biscuit waste meal at Treatment diet 1 (TD1) 0%, 25% (TD2), 50% (TD3), 75% (TD4), 100% (TD5) levels.The juveniles were fed at 3% body weight per day for 10 weeks. It was recorded at the end of the experiment that biscuit waste was most suitable as an energy supplement when incorporated at 25% replacement (TD2) with maize. TD1 had the highest weight gain followed by TD2, TD3, TD4 and TD5 respectively. There were no significant differences (P〉0.05) in the growth response in TD1 (0%), T0D (25%) and TD3 (50%). It is therefore concluded that biscuit waste meal is a cheap source of non conventional energy source which can be used favorably to replace maize (25% inclusion level) as an energy source in the diets of Clarias gariepinus.

    Description: Heterobranchus longifilis juveniles (93.42 - 147.77g) used for this study were product of an indoor experiment in glass aquaria transferred to outdoor tanks. This study is therefore, a continuation of the indoor study using the same feed for the fish outdoors for 230 days. They were stocked in ten concrete tanks, of sizes 2m X 2m. The fish were stocked according to the number harvested from the indoor experiment for each treatment. The experimental diets were prepared with fish meal, soybean, groundnut cake, wheat offal, yeast, premix, starch, vitamin C and Vitamin B-complex to meet the requirement of H. longifilis. The analyzed crude protein in each diet was 42.56%, 43.32%, 4369%,43.86% and 43.98%. There was significant variation (p〈0.05) in the Mean Final Weight (MFW), Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and Percentage Survival (PS). The survival of the fish was highest with the fish fed 2g yeast/I00g of diet and this was not significantly different from fish fed 1g yeast/ 100g diet. The cost of production of one kilogram of fish using varying levels of S. cerevisiae in diets varied significantly (p〈0.05).

    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: This study investigates the use of Luffa cylindrica seed meal as soybean replacer in the diet of Clarias gariepinus. Five isonitrogenous diets containing soybean meal which was replaced by Luffa cylindrica at a rate of 0, 15,30,45 and 60% were made. The diets without Luffa cylindrical seed meal served as the control. Experimental diets were assigned randomly to the tanks and each group of fish was fed 5% body weight in equal proportion per day. The fish fed diet 1 had the highest incidence of cost, while the fish fed diet 4 had the lowest incidence of cost. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the incidence of cost of producing 1kg fish with the different dietary treatments. The fish fed at diet 4 had the highest profit, while the fish fed at diet 1 had the lowest profit. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the profit margin of producing 1kg fish with the different dietary treatments. The incidence of cost showed that it was cheaper to produce 1kg of fish with Luffa cylindrical seed meal because feeding the fish with the diet (control and tests diets) left some profit margin.

    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.

    Description: Mudcatfish (Heterobranchus longifilis) juveniles (body weight 61.60-83.05g, length 204.43 ~c 3.07 - 229.53 ~c 3.65mm) were fed with diet containing crude protein (CP) levels of 30%,35% and 40% for 10 weeks, using fishmeal as a protein source. Growth performance and feed utilization were investigated. Fish were raised in plastic aquaria of dimension 46 x 38 x 28cm3 at a temperature range of 26.0-29.0~'C, pH value of 6.6-7.4 and dissolved oxygen of 3.5-5.1 mg/1. The highest increase in body weight (23.30 ~c 4.30g) and specific growth rate (0.68 ~c 0.02% day-1) were achieved with Diet 2 (35%CP). The condition factor ranged 0.60 ~c 0.009- 0.66 ~c 0.005 and fish survival was 100% for all diets. Protein efficiency ratio (2.37 ~c 0.35) was also significantly better with 35% CP (p〈0.001). Diets 1(30% CP) and 2 (40% CP) gave lower performances. The observations in this study suggest that a 35% high quality protein diet will probably provide the needed protein requirement for H.longifilis juveniles.

    Description: The effects of diesel-oil spillage of fresh (0.4ppt), brackish (25ppt) and marine (37ppt) waters on elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgf) of artisanal PVA synthetic twine of varied diameter (4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm) soaked for 16 weeks was studied. Chemical (solubility) test was carried out to identify the experimental twine as PVA among other synthetic twines. The elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgt) of PVA twine diameters were tested by tensile-strength gauge machine (0-200kg) and was carried out in unpolluted (control) and polluted states (spillage level) at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% diesel-oil concentrations of different water salinity. Factorial statistics was used to analyze the treatments; twine (at four levels), water salinity (at three levels) and concentrations (at six levels). This implies 4 by 3 by 6, replicated in four places (288 treatments). Results indicated that elongation (cm) and breaking load (kg) of the specimens were significantly (P〈0.05) influenced by twine thickness. Twine l0mm soaked in 3.0 litres of unpolluted freshwater had significant (p〈0.5) correlation coefficient r,0.927 and lowest r- value of 0.499 was obtained in twine 4mm soaked in 100% diesel-oil concentration. Significant (P 〈0.05) relationships were observed between the correlation coefficient r = 0.531-0.927 for unpolluted and r = 0.499-0.592 for polluted tests. The study revealed that diesel-oil spillage had negative effects on the quality of twines. The thicker the PVA twine diameters (10, 8, 6 and 4mm) at lowered (0%, 20%, 40%,60%,80% & 100%) diesel-oil spillage of fresh (0.4ppt), Brackish (25ppt) and Marine (37ppt) waters respectively, the higher the significant (P〈0.05) elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgt) were evaluated in most cases.
