    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 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: 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.

    Description: Globally, aquatic ecosystems are highly polluted with heavy metals from anthropogenic and terrigenous sources. The objectives of this study, is to portray the use of EDXRF for the analysis of heavy metal pollution in Clarias gariepinus. C. gariepinus were collected from Dumba, Lake Chad, Nigerian sector and analyzed with EDXRF with 〈sup〉109〈/sup〉Cd as excitation source of the samples. The concentrations of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Lead and Zinc (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn) in mg/kg were determined in C. gariepinus and were compared with World Health Organization (WHO, 1985) and Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA, 2003) to ascertain the level of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn in C. gariepinus from Dumba. The results indicated that C. gariepinus is polluted with Cr, Cu, Mn, and Pb when compared with permissible limit of WHO, 1985 and FEPA, 2003. Therefore, the consumption of C. gariepinus from Dumba may pose a health risk.

    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: Public health issues can he considered as those of direct importance to both producers and consumers of fish and include broader issues of food production, processing and delivery systems. As aquaculture assumes an expanding role in meeting consumer demands for fish and fishery products, it is natural that they meet safety and quality standards. Aquaculture is a growing industry in Nigeria and it has assumed commercial importance activity. This study was part of the project on epizootiological survey of pathogenic diseases of cultured fish species and is aimed at identifying ecto-parasite associated with cultured fish in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study which was carried out in 2012 covered fifty fish farm, spread across the three senatorial zones. Five pieces of fish were randomly picked from each farm surveyed. Participants observation and structured questionnaires were administered to fish farmers in order to gather information on source of fries, fish feeding and feed type, use of manure and its type, pond type, stocking density, pond hygiene, water source, frequency of changing water and history of diseases and mortalities of fish. Before the fish samples were collected, pond size and physicochemical water quality were assessed. Water test kits were used to measure parameters like iron, nitrate, alkalinity and ammonia. All the procedures for physicochemical water quality parameter analysis was done according to the manufacturer's instructions. Water pH was measured using a probe while dissolved oxygen and both water as well as air temperature were measured by using Hanna kit. All types of farms are included in the survey such as hatcheries, brood stock farms as well as grow out farms. The study revealed the spread of parasites across the senatorial zones. The most common encountered parasites were Trichodina sp, Gyrodactylus sp, Dactylogyrus sp and trematodes. The intensity of the parasites differed markedly.

    Description: The study surveyed the status of fish farming in Rivers State of Nigeria. Structured interview schedule questionnaires were used in sourcing information from 90 fish farmers randomly selected from nine local government area, with three local government each drawn from each agricultural zone of the state. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that majority (34.4%) of the fish farmers were male and between the age range of 41-50 years. 31.1% of fish farmers cultured their fish in concrete fish tanks. The total mean annual production of fishes were 41,000 metric tons, 38.9% of fish farmers practiced integrated fish farming, 72.2% of the farmers practice only fish production; 58.9% of farmers sourced their information from friends/fellow farmers. In terms of water supply, 40.0% of farmers sourced their water supply from borehole, 36.6% use tilapia species as their fingerlings, 38.9% of farmers sourced their fingerlings from government hatchery 15.2% of farmers indicated that they suffer loss of tilapia, 54.4% farmers use partial harvest, 92.6% of farmers indicated irregular electricity supply as a major constraints to fish production. In order to facilitate the efficient operation of fish farming in the study area, technical advice on pond construction and preparation, species selection and supply for stocking purposes and collection of relevant data on aquaculture will help in the improvement of fish farming in the study area.

    Description: Blood analysis is important in fish health investigation and may be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. However difficulties exist in the use of blood analysis in the investigation of fish health due to the paucity of species specific, gender and age based reliable references. The current study therefore aims to determine some blood parameters in order to provide reliable references for dry season of the normal condition values of C. gariepinus, a widely cultured fish in Nigeria. This study involved random sampling of 900 C. gariepinus aged 4, 5 and 6 months from earthen pond for three years. Data obtained for blood parameters using standard method were analyzed using descriptive statistic, students'-test, one-way ANOVA level of significant set at p ~,0.05. Results showed the female had significantly (p ~,0.001) higher values than the males for each age bracket and the values increased sig nificantly (p 0~,.05) with increased in PCV. hemoglobin, RBC, WBC, total protein, potassium, sodium, Creatinine, ALT, AST and glucose. The females and males values at 4, 5 and 6 months old were PCV (32.14 ~c 0.19% vs 26.72 ~c 1.l2; 36.45 ~c 1.39% vs 32.33 ~c 1.46%; 40.83 ~c 0. 73% vs 35.01 ~c 0.08%.), total protein (3.98 ~c 0.16g/l vs 3.49 ~c 0.18g/l; 4.45 ~c 0.10g/l vs 4.33 ~c 0.04g/l). Lymphocytes, neutrophils, mono cytes and ESR values showed no stable trend in gender differences with increased age. In both the females and the males, lymphocytes decreased significantly (p ~,0.05) while neutrophils and monocytes increased significantly (p~,0.05) with increased age. ESR decreased significantly (P~, 0.05) in the males and non-significantly in the females with increase in age. It is hoped that these values obtained would serve as a reliable reference to enhance an appropriate intervention in the culture of C. gariepinus aged 4. 5 and 6 months in earthen pond which may be extrapolated for use in other culture systems.

    Description: An experimental greenhouse was constructed at the fish pond site of the Federal College of Freshwater Fisheries Technology, Baga using the freestanding design style. Air temperature, water temperature and evaporation readings were observed for two weeks. Temperature records in the green house ranged between 25-27~'C at 6am and 26-32~'C at 6pm while atmospheric temperature was observed between 22-25~'C at 6am and 24-28~'C at 6pm respectively. Evaporation rates were observed to be higher in the water trough placed outside than the one placed inside the greenhouse. Water depth dropped from 39.5cm to 34.5cm (i.e 9cm) and 39.5cm to 30.5cm (5cm) in the trough placed outside and inside the greenhouse respectively. From this experiment, water is connserved as a result of low evaporation rate and higher water temperatures are attainable in the greenhouse which is desirable in the extremely cold harmattan season in the arid zone of Nigeria.

    Description: This paper examines the major effects of climate charge on aquaculture, especially on the freshwater ecosytem. Aquaculture as established is not practiced evenly across the world. Therefore, the paper highlights the current aquaculture practices within the regions and across the different environments to ascertain the major effects of climate variations on the freshwater ecosystem and aquaculture practices in particular. The main elements of climate change that would impact on aquaculture produ ction, such as sea level and temperature rise, changes in monsoon patterns and extreme climatic events and water stress, among others were properly looked at and the reasons for their effects addressed. The different elements of climate change that are experienced in varying degrees can be either positive or negative or directly or indirectly, depending on the different culture systems that are practiced. It is in the process of our study that we brought out the complex attributes of climate change as it affects aquaculture productivity and the possible roles that the society can play to ameliorate the harsh effects of this ugly monstet; referred to as ”climate change and the consequent global warming trends.
