    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: The design of pumping station for submersible FLYGT pump 3102 version LL to redress the water supply problem of some ponds in the tidal fish farm of African Regional Aquaculture Centre (ARAC) located in Omuihuechi, Aluu, Rivers State, Nigeria was carried out. Prior to the design baseline study was carried out for the proper sitting of the pumping station. The topographic survey of the area indicated gentle sloping woodland, with the highest and lowest elevations of 11.00 m and 1.00 m respectively. The mean peak heights of water in the supply canal during spring and neap tides ranged from 0.95 to 1.45 m and 0.38 to 0.86 m respectively. The flood tide and ebb tide velocities of supply canal water flow varied from 0.40 to 0.75 m/s and 0.75 to 0.92 m/s respectively. Soil particle size analysis indicated loamy clay and clay soils. The results of pumping station design were 1.80 m (length), 1.30 m (width); 3.60 m (height),0.15 m (thickness), I (cement) : 2 (sand) : 4 (gravel) (concrete mixture ratio) and 12 mm (reinforcement bar). Results of pump characteristic calculation were 0.069 m〈sup〉3〈/sup〉/s (discharge) ,4.02 m/s (pumping velocity), 5.73 m (total dynamic head), 0.82 m (minimum submergence depth), 5.04 KW (pump power)and 0.40 and 0.30 m ( clearances from floor and wall respectively). The results obtained were considered adequate for the purpose of construction of the pumping station for the pump and the procedures adopted will assist in similar design tasks in the development of fish farms in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria and beyond.

    Description: Fry management in aerated and non aerated aquarium and hapa system were determined in Fish Hatchery of Faculty of Agriculture, Shabu Lafia to assess condition factor, percentage survival rate, total body length and percentage weight gain. 200 hatchlings of Clarias.gariepinus fry were put into a 35 x 30 x 15cm aquarium with aerator and without aerator; hapa with aerator and hapa without aerator in 3 replicates. The hapas were made of brown colour plankton net. The fry were fed with 5% of their body weight with Artemia shell free four times daily for the period of sixteen days. Temperature(27.45 ~c 0.05~'C), pH (7.56 ~c 0.03); Dissolved oxygen (8.20 ~c 0.03 mg/L), total alkalinity (l5.36~c 0.03 mg/L) and Free carbon dioxide (4.30 ~c 0.03 mg/L) monitored in each of water quality parameter of the various treatments was not significantly different from each other. The Percentage weight gain (1117 and 1067), percentage survival rate (92.83 and 91.33), total body length(l.07 and 1.07cm) and condition factor (11.99 and 11.44) of C. gariepinus fry in hapa system (aerated and non aerated respectively) are significantly(p〈0.05) higher than those of aquarium in the study although they are not significantly different (P〉0.05) from each other. The use of hapa as an improved system for mass production of C. gariepinus fry is highly recommendable in the large body of water.

    Description: The increase in population coupled with current and escalating extent of soil degradation, water scarcity and climate-related challenges plaguing agricultural productivity in every corner of the world and particularly in Nigeria demands for alternative food techniques, one of them called aquaponics. This paper highlights a new trend in food production techniques for the production of fish and vegetable crops in aquaponics. Aquaponics is experiencing renewed interest worldwide with many small home growers and large operations employing the process as a means of producing sustainable fish and plant crops. The design of this scalable farming system closely mirrors that of recirculating systems in general, with the addition of a hydroponic component and the possible elimination of a separate biofilter and devices for removing fine and dissolved solids. The benefits of aquaponics includes conservation of water resources and plant nutrients, intensive production of fish and reduced operating costs relative to either system in isolation. Aquaponics, without doubt is a practice that is receiving considerable interest due to an ever increasing need for fresh wholesome food and sustainable eco-friendly agricultural practices.

    Description: This paper, fish genetics and breeding in Nigeria addresses the application of genetics and breeding to fish farming with the view to enhanced aquaculture production in Nigeria. This production technique is not limited to the use of conventional breeding programs nor is it necessary to go through the basic developmental steps of selection and isolation that lead to the domestication and diversification of livestock and crops over thousands of years. With modern molecular genetic techniques and induced breeding, it is now possible to develop and create new fish species .

    The role of biotechnology in aquaculture and fisheries development (2021)

    Description: Biotechnology per se is not a panacea for the world's problems of hunger and poverty. However, genetic engineering in particular, offers outstanding potentials to increase the efficiency of animal improvement. Thus, biotechnology could enhance global food production and availability in a sustainable way. Case studies from Egypt and India also demonstrate that highly immune genetically modified fishes, transgenic fishes, chromosome engineering and gene banking are very appropriate for fish farmers and consumers in developing countries. As the entire technology can be packaged into the germ cells of fish, it can easily be integrated into traditional small-holder fish farming systems. Except for a few innovative transfer projects, though, the application of biotechnology until now remains concentrated in the industrialized world. Combined with insufficient own scientific and regulatory capacities, the increasing privatization of international aquacultural and fisheries research and the strengthening of intellectual property rights complicate the access of developing countries to biotechnology. Profound constitutional adjustments are therefore essential to ensure that biotechnology does not bypass the poor.

    Description: The effect of zinc exposure evaluated during a four day exposure periods at 13.88ppm, 26.75ppm, 53.5ppm,107ppm and 214ppm to Clarias gariepinus sub-adults showed the 96h LC50 as 26.62ppm. The threshold value was 20.30ppm. The muscle of the exposed fish analyzed showed a significant decrease in all the major cations and anions (Na+, CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) at (p〈0.05). The research revealed that there was no total inhibition of uptake of the cations and anions and also that uptake of these metals, that is cations and anions (Na+,-CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) increased rapidly during the 24 hours and dropped at 48 hours and 72 hours and gradually increased at the end of 96 hours showing that it was time dependent. During exposure period, affected fish stood in upright position with their snouts above the water surface, gasping for air. Observation of the exposed fish showed that they were peeling of skin, increase in opercula movement, erratic swimming, quietness and finally death. This research therefore recommends that zinc should be applied appropriately at 26.30ppm to avoid death of fish, man and other aquatic organisms that are the chief consumer.

    Description: Studies of food and feeding ecology are important to investigate trophic interrelationships of fishes in their resident water bodies. These are usually achieved using various important methods. However because no single measure gives an overall representation of the feeding habits of fish, best results are achieved only when methods are used to complement one another. This paper reviews various methods used in studying trophic fish ecology and suggests consolidation of the traditional or basic methods with relevant statistical indices and local ecological knowledge. More advanced methods are also proposed as valuable tools because they compensate for some possible errors that may arise from the use of quantitative methods.

    Description: Nutrient content of organic manure vary according to the composition which determines the fertility and efficiency. The effectiveness of liquid manure depends on the N.P.K value of the manure source. One kilogram of each manure source was weighed and loaded into a polyethylene bag for ten (10) days anaerobic fermentation. pH was monitored for five consecutive days after the second day using Digital pH meter (Model PHeP NOVO Illkirch Cedex France) with values ranging between 5.6-6.3 and 5.7-6.9 for both liquid manures slurry. The liquid manure was produced from Pig and Poultry manure slurry with N.P.K values range between 4.80-5.96, 4.10-4.66,0.47-0.80 and 7.50-8.80, 3.25-5.60, 0.79-0.85 for Pig and poultry manures respectively. Organic manure loose nitrogen when exposed to extreme temperature due to volatilization of NH3. Therefore, in liquid manure production, anaerobic fermentation enhances nutrient stability through immobilization of ammonia-nitrogen compounds. The interaction of N.P.K and pH shows the availability, stability and quality of nutrient in the liquid manure produced. Anaerobic fermentation produces better quality liquid manure than the manure due to immobilization of ammonia nitrogen. Both liquid manure had positive correlation (R2) of 0.6977 and (R2) of 0.2370 for Poultry and Pig liquid manure. Liquid manure application in ponds can reduce cost of pond fertilization especially in the integrated fish farming system than the use of organic manure directly serving as a better means of pond fertilization and pollution control in the farm environment under a stressed economy.

    Description: The study was conducted to determine the toxicity of unripe Ackee apple (Blighiasapida) fruit extract on catfish, Clarias gariepinus fingerlings using the 96-hour bioassay under laboratory condition. The LC50 was determined graphically as 3.00ppt. Mean mortality was 0, 40, 50, 70 and 80% in the concentrations of 0, 3.33, 3.47,3.60 and 3.73ppt. Statistical analysis of the results showed that there were significant differences (P〈0.05) on the effect of concentration. Mortality increased with increase in concentration of toxicant and duration of exposure. Clarias gariepinus showed erratic swimming pattern, loss of reflex which increased with increase in concentration. Histopathological changes were revealed in the gills, skin and heart of the fish. The gill structure was altered and there were moderate mucosal erosion. There were several lymphoid aggregations with fibrous connective tissue at the dermal and epidermal areas in the skin. The heart myofibre were diffusely disintegrated with edema between bundles.
