    Description: The effect of delay after slaughter on microbial quality, proximate composition and sensory scores of raw catfish, Clarias gariepinus was evaluated. A total of 52 live catfish (average weight 700.0~c7.0g) were used for the experiment. Ten freshly slaughtered fish samples each were selected for organoleptic assessment at 0, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-slaughter, while three fish samples each were selected for chemical and microbial analyses. Microbial load on fish samples increased significantly (P〈 0.05) with increase in length of delay after slaughter, LODAS. Bacteria isolated included Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus spp and Staphylococcus aureus. Percent protein and ash contents of fish samples increased with increasing LODAS, while moisture content decreased and lipid was not affected. It was observed that raw C. gariepinus retained most of its physical attributes up to 4 hours post-slaughter. These quality attributes except colour and odour of gills, deteriorated significantly (P 〈 0.05) at every successive four-hour post-slaughter interval. Significant negative correlation existed between LODAS and sensory quality of raw fish (eyes, r = -0.966, P 〈 0.05; gills, r = -0.980, P 〈 0.05; skin, r = -0.998, P 〈 0.01; and odour, r = -0.994, P 〈 0.01). This study established that quality of raw C. gariepinus deteriorated with increasing LODAS and that raw C. gariepinus was not totally unacceptable when delayed for 12 hours after slaughter at ambient temperatures.

    Description: The poor nature of most Agricultural processing practices in Nigeria have had adverse effect on our environment, and our aquatic resources are of no exception. This study was conducted to ascertain the median lethal concentration of the effluent within the 96 hours period and also to ascertain the extent of damage on some of the histological characteristics of the Clarias gariepinus juveniles. Juveniles of the Clarias gariepinus (mean weight 30g) were exposed to varied concentrations of the locust bean effluent under the standard laboratory conditions. Data on mortality corresponding to the various concentrations were subjected to the probit and logit transformations and used to calculate the LC50 graphically. The result shows the toxicity of the locust bean effluent to Clarias gariepinus juveniles as 0.089mg/L (treatment 4) during the period of study. Exposure to both the acute and subletheal concentrations resulted in a number of physiological dysfunction of the test fish. Observation of the fish under the tests revealed unbalanced swimming patterns loss of reflex, rapid opercular movements and gasping for air. Histopathological examination of the gill and liver of the treated fish showed signs of damage, ranging from Hypoxia, lesions, necrosis, fibrosis cell stasis and hyperplasia at the sublethal levels.

    Description: The fatty acid composition of oil extracted from the viscera of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus caught from a fish farm in New Bussa was investigated with a view to prove their usefulness. A total of 20 fatty acids were obtained out of which five were identified. Lauric, Palmitic and Stearic acids were the main saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids respectively. The principal acids in the polyunsaturated group were Oleic and Linoleic acids. C. gariepinus viscera is constituted of polyunsaturated fatty acids which make it a valuable pharmaceutical raw material rather than waste.

    Description: Study was conducted to investigate lipid profile and metabolites in deformed (lost one or both pectoral fins) and healthy (both pectoral fins intact) African mud catfish C. gariepinus using three groups of adults male and female with a mean weight and standard length of 822.17~c 48.75g and 42.55~c.26cm respectively. The fish were allotted in replicates to 5000m capacity tanks based on the presence or absence of pectoral fins. 1mL blood was drawn from caudal peduncle of each fish by means of disposable sterile syringe and centrifuged at 1000rpm for 20min at 40C. Cholesterol and total protein were determined using the cholesterol FL (CT F400CH) and total protein (TP 0500CH) kits. Serum albumin and globulin concentrations were determined following methods described by Tietz (1995) and Buckley et al., (1976) while total serum bilirubin concentration was measured as outlined by AACC (American Association of Clinical Chemistry). Results indicate that male fish had relatively higher amount of triglyceride while female fish had higher amounts of cholesterol, reduction in globulin of the deformed fish, reduction in the concentrations of albumin in healthy fish, increase in total protein and globulin levels and high urea concentrations. No total bilurubin was detected in any of the fish sampled thus an indication of good liver function which means there was no liver dysfunction or liver damage in the fishes. It is evident therefore that abnormal fish can still perform better if they are given intense management because of the variability in their blood constituents with the normal fishes which is used to assess their health is minimal.

    Description: The effect of substituting soybean meal with raw sunflower and sesame seed meal was evaluated using haematological indices of Clarias gariepinus fed the diets containing sunflower and sesame seed meal. Seven isonitrogeneous and isocaloric diets containing sunflower and sesame seed meal replacing soybean meal at a rate of 15, 30 and 45% were prepared. A diet without replacement of soybean meal served as control. The result of fish fed test diets showed significant (P〈0.05) difference over the fish fed control diet with respect to PCV and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Fish fed control diet had the lowest Hb, PCV, WBC, RBC, MCV, MCHC, ESr. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the fish fed control diet and test diets with respect to MCH, MCHC, ESr, Neutrophil, Monocytes, Eusinophils and Lymphocytes. Hence it can be concluded that the haemotological parameter of Clarias gariepinus is not significantly (P〉0.05) changed with increase dietary inclusion of raw sunflower and sesame seed meal.

    Description: Feeding trial was conducted in static water to assess the growth of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed different inclusion levels of Mucuna seed meal (MSM). Raw MSM was used at 10%, 20% and 30% inclusion levels and the performance of fish fed these diets was compared with the fish fed soybean-based diet which contained 40%protein. All diets were prepared to be isonitrogenous and isocaloric. A four by six factorial experiment with three replicates using ten fish each of average initial weight of 6.6g was carried out. Daily fish ration of five percent body weight was administered two times for twelve weeks. The specific growth rate (SGR) in diet 1 (control) was significantly (p〈0.05) higher than the other dietary groups and worsens as inclusion level increased similar trend was also observed in the food conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). The significantly lower growth performance of fish fed diets containing raw MSM might be due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors present raw MSM. The possibility of improving this trend through processing should be investigated.

    Description: Clarias gariepinus juveniles 6.35 ~C 0.22 g weight were fed five different commercial diets for 105 days to determine growth rates. Diets were hand distributed in triplicate groups of 30 fish once daily. The diets used were Coppens, Multifeed, Eurogold, Vittal and Ajanla feeds. At the end of the experiment, the final mean weight for Coppens, Multifeed and Eurogold were 181.54 ~c 0.63 g, 179.92 ~c 0.95 g and 139.92 ~c 0.26 g respectively, while final mean weight for Vital and Ajanla were 110.11 ~c 0.23 g and 119.03 ~c 0.35 g respectively. The statistical analysis of the results showed that there were significant differences (P〈0.05) in the mean final weights. Also there was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the mean final weight between Coppens and Multifeed. The specific growth rates (SGR) were 3.19% day-1 3.18 % day-1 and 2.94% day-1 for Coppens Multifeed and Eurogold respectively and 2.71% day-1 and 2.78% day-1 respectively for Ajanla and Vital. There were significant differences (P〈0.05) in SGR among treatments and no significant difference (P〉0.05) between SGR of Coppens and Multifeed. Based on these findings, it was concluded that feed with macronutrient combinations of 45% CP, 12% crude fat, crude fiber, 1.5%, Ash 9.5% promoted better growth rates in C. gariepinus juveniles as compared with other combinations.

    Description: Clarias gariepinus (0.73 ~c 0.01g) and Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings (0.67 ~c 0.01g) were fed five isonitrogenous diets of about 40% crude protein, with varying levels (0-100%) of palm grub meal for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, C. gariepinus and H. longifilis fingerlings fed 25% palm grub inclusion diet had the highest weight gain (5.30g and 4.05g respectively), relative (726.0% and 595.6%) and specific (1.09% and 1.00%) growth rates while those fed 100% palm grub inclusion diet showed least growth; weight gain (2.68g and 2.15g), relative (367.1% and 316.2%) and specific (0.80% and 0.45%) growth rates respectively. Food conversion and protein efficiency were also best in fingerlings fed 25% palm grub meal diet (0.70 and 1.35 for C. gariepinus; 0.75 and 1.35 for H. longifilis respectively) with decreasing efficiency as palm grub inclusion level increased in the diets. The differences in the growth and nutrient utilization of the fingerlings on the various diets were generally insignificant (p〉0.05) above 25% inclusion level of palm grub. The study showed that palm grub can be used to completely replace fish meal in mudcatfish diets. However, for optimal growth and nutrient utilization, 25% level of replacement of fish meal with palm grub meal is most adequate in C. gariepinus and H. longifilis fingerlings diets.

    Description: A study was undertaken to analyse and compare with manufacturers’ declaration the nutrient content of some feeds available in Nigeria through proximate analysis. The commercial fish feeds collected from the markets were Adolf Calyx, Coppens, Dizengoff and Durante. Proximate composition such as moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, ash, fibre and NFE (nitrogen free extract) were analysed. In general, there was variation between analysed and company declared nutrient contents of different feeds especially the protein and lipid content of the feeds. Apart from Adolf Calyx, all the analysed feeds had protein contents of above 40% which is good for catfish production as recommended by the manufacturer. Keywords: Proximate composition, Commercial fishfeeds, Adolf Calyx, Coppens, Dizengoff, Durante.
