    Description: Lagos state has a major sea port for landing of frozen fish from Mauritania, Senegal, the Scottish waters and other European countries. In the last three years, the dense population of the state has encouraged all kinds of trade to thrive. Fish as a major food in many Nigerian diets has been known to complement the high carbohydrate intake of majority of the Nigerian populace because of the unaffordable prices of beef in the market. The market for frozen fish is rich in Lagos. It has provided many women fishmongers a livelihood for over a decade. They have been able to sustain their families and improve their social status over the years. This study reports the modus operandi of the trade. The study covered a period of three months. Fish sales were monitored in Epe, Oyingbo, Ijora and Alaba markets. The cooperation of the heads of markets (Iya Olojas) were requested at every market. It was ensured that observations and the interviews/questionnaires do not interfere with the women's activities. Specific areas focused upon in the study included countries of fish imports, most acceptable species, packaging, purchase price, sales price and profit margins. Other important factors in the fish market that were studied included entrance into the fish marketing business, sources of finance and problems. The study also made suggestions on how to improve upon the fish marketing business of women in Lagos State.

    Description: A study was carried out to examine the effect of lipid level on growth and feed utilization of Heterobranchus longifilis. Fingerlings of H. longifilis (28 days old (0.7 ~c 0.05g) were fed three formulated diets with three levels of lipid (7.00%, 12.5% and 18.0% of dry matter) at one level of protein (35.0% crude protein dry matter (OM) basis) for eight weeks. Weight gain (g) and specific growth rate (SGR, % day-1) values indicated that fish fed diets with 7.0% and 12.5% lipid exhibited higher growth performance. Lowest growth was recorded for fish fed diet with 18.0% lipid. Feed intake (FI, g fish-1) was also significantly (P 〈 0.05) affected by dietary lipids and tended to decrease with increasing lipid levels. Fish that showed the highest FI were those that were fed the 7% and 12.5% lipid diets. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) values indicated that diets containing 12.5% and 18% lipid were more efficiently utilized. No significant differences in muscle composition were observed among fish fed the different diets. There was a linear relationship (P〈0.05) between dietary lipid level and liver lipid. Hepatosomatic index (HIS) increased with dietary lipid level. The results indicated that H. longifilis fingerlings performed best with the diets containing 7.0% and 12.5% lipid when protein concentration was 35.0% and, reduced growth and increased body fat were evident when dietary energy increased from 19.06 to 20.54 kJg-1.

    Description: The study was carried out to identify the roles of Egun Women in Fisheries in Oto-Awori of Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State, as well as factors affecting their roles. Data were collected using the purposive sampling to select 20 Egun Women involved in Fisheries in each of Araromi, Idumosan, lIepete, Idomila and Ebute areas in Oto-Awori, using questionnaire method. Data were analysed using the percentages and Chi-square tests. The results revealed that 80% of the Egun Women were engaged in Fish Smoking, Fish Icing (65%), and Fish Marketting (85%). Factors limiting effective participation of the Egun Women in Fisheries were discussed with a number of recommended strategies which can make Egun Women contribute to increasing fish supplies in the area.

    Description: The proximate composition of the fresh water shrimp Atya gabonensis (Irvine), preserved by smoking, salting and sun - drying was determined and compared to the fresh shrimp. All the preservation methods significantly (p〈 0.05) increased the total dry matter (38.34 93%), protein content (17.31 48.9) and ash content (28.36 36.17%) over the fresh shrimp value. Moisture and lipid contents however, were reduced from the fresh shrimp's 61.66% and 25.29% to low value of 7.00% and 5.10% respectively. The preserved shrimp is, therefore, nutritionally superior to the fresh shrimp as preservation enhances its proximate composition. Of all the preservation methods used in this work, smoking is the best. It recorded the best preservation indices of lowest moisture content, higher dry matter, higher protein content and highest ash content.

    Description: Women constitute the major stakeholders in the struggle for sustainable rural development in subSaharan Africa. The major fishing activities of women are in the area of processing, marketing and gear making. Women's fundamental contribution is continually under-appreciated and under-supported and is often adversely affected by prevailing economic policies and other developmental conditions.These circumstances must be reversed since sustainable development through fish production and marketing can not be achieved without the full participation of women. This paper is focused on how women can be empowered for sustainabledevelopment in fish development and marketing.

    Description: The involvement of women in aquaculture in Lagos State was studied. One hundred and fifty copies of the questionnaire were administered to women fish farmers, randomly selected from three local government areas of Lagos state. These were Ojo, Ibeju Lekki and Epe local government areas of Lagos State. The study revealed that 52% of the women adopted concrete pond system, 24% adopted dug-out or earthen pond system, 10% fibre glass tanks and 14% adopted Water Recirculatory/Flow-through system of fish farming. Other fish farming technologies that were included in this study were: stocking rates, feeding regimes and feed types, water quality management, general management of the farm, security, harvesting and marketing. These are the fish farming technologies that have been disseminated by the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research to women fish farmers. An average of 2 metric tonnes of fish per annum was calculated for each woman fish farmer in Lagos State. The bio-data of the women studied showed that fish farming can be practised by every woman, irrespective of age, educational standard, location, religion, finacial status and culture, as long as there is a good source of water supply).

    Role of women in inland fishing communities in Nigeria: a review (2021)

    Description: The role of women in inland fishing communities in Nigeria have not been assessed or fully appreciated in the fishing industry in Nigeria. The role of women in the fisheries sub-sector is significant mainly in the post harvest activities such as sorting, preservation, processing, distribution and marketing of the fish products. The review highlights the fact that women not only make meaningful contribution to the socio-economic well-being of their households and the fishing but are also involved in other livelihood activities useful to their households and the community in which where they live. However, there are some constraints limiting women's involvement in fisheries and these range from socio-cultural, psychological to economic factors. It was therefore recommended that extension programmes on development issues should focus extensively on the post-harvest and livelihood activities in which women in inland fishing communities are mostly involved.

    Description: The keynote address concentrated on the roles Nigerian fisheries could play in the attainment of the Millennium development goals. The concept of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was defined as ranging from halving the extreme poverty to halving the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education for all by the year 2015. The paper discussed the subject matter under the followng topics. Fisheries and the eradicaton of extreme poverty and hunger. Fisheries and the promotion of gender equality and women empowerment. Fisheries and reduction in child mortality and improvement in maternal health. Fisheries and the combat of HIV/AIDS, maleria and vother diseases. In conclusion, the paper called for public-private partnership to achieve the mellennium development goals.

    Description: The bloom-forming cyanobacteria Trichodesmium contribute up to 30% to the total fixed nitrogen in the global oceans and thereby drive substantial productivity. On an expedition in the Gulf of Mexico, we observed and sampled surface slicks, some of which included dense blooms of Trichodesmium erythraeum. These bloom samples contained abundant and atypical free fatty acids, identified here as 2-methyldecanoic acid and 2-methyldodecanoic acid. The high abundance and unusual branching pattern of these compounds suggest that they may play a specific role in this globally important organism.
