    Description: The physical and chemical characteristics of freshwater bodies Ikot Ebak and Abeneyentem streams in Essien Udim Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria were studied from (July December 1996). The mean values obtained in the two water bodies were pH (6.8~c0.12, 6.8~c0.09, respectively). Conductivity (4.9~c2.26, 5.0~c2.09 iScm-1), total dissolved solid (16~c7.58, 37~c26.9 mg/l), TSS (46~c26.0, 53~c53.1)g/l), alkalinity (17.5~c7.27, 10.7~c8S MgCaCo3/1), DO (6.98~C1.46, 8.3~C29.0mg/1), BOD (2.65~c2.44, 3.15~c2.79mg/1), Salinity (0.41~c0.12, 0.31~c0.04%o') total hardness (0.64~c0.21, 0.84~c0.42mg/l, N03-N (0.31~cO.26, 0.35~c0.29mg/l), and PD4-P (0.022~c0.0199 0.023~c.022mg/1), respectively. There were significant difference in the means of the parameters in the two water bodies except TDS, Alkalinity and Hardness. The water bodies were found to be slightly acidic with low conductivity. The properties in the water bodies were in conformity with international standards for both drinking and aquatic life.

    Description: Oreochromis niloticus was reared in 54 litre glass tanks being fed with 35% crude protein diets for 56 days. A basal diet consisting intact protein from groundnut cake and guinea com (4.56g lysine/100g protein) ,four graded levels of crystalline lysine was added to formulate diets consisting 6.87, 7.30, 7.41, 7.51 g lysine /100g protein and a reference diet of intact protein from groundnut cake, guinea com and fish meal having 5.37g lysine/100g protein was fed to six treatments in triplicate groups. The growth parameters shows there was no significant difference in the mean weight gain, specific growth rate, food conversion efficiency and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed varying levels of lysine. A maxima was obtained from the quadratic equation of food efficiency ratio against graded levels of lysine at 7.3g/100g protein which is the requirement. Carcass ash was higher with the initial fish while crude protein was highest with the the fish fed 7.3g lysine/l00g protein

    Description: Static bioassays were carried out in the laboratory for 96h to investigate the effect of Parateq a synthetic base mud on the fingerling of Orechromis niloticus and their microbial population. The fingerlings were exposed to different concentrations (0, 1000, 3000, 5000 and 9000Mg/l) of drilling fluid. Fish mortality data were recorded at 24, 48, 72 and 96h and analysed using Finney’s Probit Analysis method to calculate LC50 values (concentration of drilling fluid in water that will kill 50% of the fish population in 96 hours). The 96h LC50 was 2210Mg/l.The mortality increased with increase in concentration, while, the lethal times decreased as concentration increased. The bacterial biomass ranged from 1.59 x 108 to 6.0 x 106CFU/ml while fungal biomass ranged from1.0 x 103 to 2.1 x 104 CFU/ml. Results revealed that there was an increase in fungal biomass with increase in mud concentration and a decrease in bacterial biomass with increase in mud concentration.

    Description: A static bioassay method to determine the acute toxicity of the herbicide propanil to Oreochromis niloticus was investigated under Laboratory conditions for 96 hours exposure period. Concentrations of propanil used include: 0.0096ml/l, 0.0103ml/l, 0.011ml/l and 0.012ml/l respectively. The lethal concentration (LC50) value of propanil on fingerlings of Oreochromis niloticus was 0.0097ml/l for 96 hours of exposure. The regression equation for probit kill from propanil was found to be Y = 29.84 + 12.33* log conc. (r2 0.9951, Y = Probit kill). Fish showed various abnormal behaviours upon exposure to propanil. Immediate reaction was erratic swimming and tendency to jump out of the test bowl. Others include: restlessness, un-coordinated movement, vertical swimming, air gulping, equilibrium loss, a period of quiescence and eventually death.

    Relationship among Tilapia guineensis fingerlings abundance and water quality variations in a brackish water reservoir in Lagos (2021)
    Fisheries Society of Nigeria | Lagos (Nigeria)
    In:  http://aquaticcommons.org/id/eprint/23442 | 19325 | 2018-05-02 08:28:15 | 23442 | Fisheries Society of Nigeria

    Description: In recent times there has been an upsurge in the culture of Tilapia in Nigeria resulting in increased demand for the fingerlings which is hardly satisfied. This is due to increasing demand for table size tilapia as food fish and under-sized tilapia in the fish meal and fish canning industries in Nigeria. Collection of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings from the wild, to augment hatchery production, has been the practice and this is subject to environmental fluctuations. Multivariate regression and correlation analyses of accumulated data were used to investigate the effects of changes in water quality parameters on abundance of fingerlings of Tilapia guineensis in a brackishwater habitat in Lagos. Dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity and secchi transparency were found to be the most dominant factors affecting the abundance of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings in the Lagos lagoon. Peak period of abundance was closely associated with period of low salinity (0.50%o to 5.60%o), which coincided with the period of low transparency and low DO in the rainy season. The correlation analyses of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings with the water quality parameters yielded the following correlation coefficients (r)- 0.598; (salinity); -0.644 (transparency); -0.710 (DO); -0.566; (temperature) and 0.129 (pH). The abundance of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings in the Lagoon was ultimately defined by a suitable regression equation. This result is expected to optimize the collection of fingerlings of Tilapia guineensis from the wild and boost food fish security in Nigeria and elsewhere.

    Description: Spatial and temporal variations of physico-chemical variables of Onu-Iyi ?Ukwu stream were studied for 12 months from March 2005 to February 2006. Three sampling stations were established along the main stream channel from source to mouth. Spatial variation in physico-chemical parameters indicated that total alkalinity, total hardness, conductivity, and nitrate-nitrogen (NO3) recorded their highest values at the upper reaches (with values 14.0mg/l, 88.09mg/l, 17.00~kscmiscm, and 0.60mg/l respectively). Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and pH had their maximum values of 8.20mg/l and 6.94 at the middle reaches. Turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), temperature and phosphate-phosphorus (PO4) increased steadily from source to mouth. The observed seasonal variation indicated that wet season values were higher for all the parameters except temperature, turbidity, phosphate-phosphorus (PO4) and total alkalinity although the values were not statistically significant at p〉0.05. The correlation coefficient (r) showed no significant relationships p〈0.05 between physico-chemical parameters except DO and BOD with correlation values of (0.75 and -0.54) respectively.

    Description: The physico-chemical parameters of Bosso Dam were analyzed weekly for a period of six (6) weeks from 29th October, 2009. In all, six (6) stations were identified within the dam. The physico-chemical parameters assessed were: temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity and transparency. The results obtained from the analysis revealed slight variations in most parameters. There was no significant difference p〉0.05 in pH regardless of stations and weeks. But significant difference p〉0.05 were observed in dissolved oxygen, nitrate, temperature, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, biological oxygen demand, transparency, in respect regard to stations. These variations could be due to influx of organic waste from surface run offs and inorganic waste deposited by man. The physico-chemical parameters observed, indicated that most of them fall with the recommended range or standard by the Federal Ministry of Environment

    Description: An experiment was carried out to find out the comparative effect of imported fish meal, blood meal and local fish waste based diets on the growth and survival of juvenile tilapia. (O. niloticus) in concrete tank. Four diets consisting of N.I.O.M.R. pelleted feed containing 40% CP, with imported fish meal, as the control and three others formulated with fresh, boiled cattle blood and local fish waste meal at 30% CP, were fed to juvenile tilapia with average initial weight of 55.24g in four treatments and four replicates in a completely randomized design. Result indicated final body weights of 100.83, 96.54, 98.4 and 86.82g and average body length of 18.47, 18.16, 18.4 and 18.14cm, for treatments 1 (control), 2 (fresh blood based diet), 3 (boiled blood based diet) and 4 (local fish waste meal based diet) respectively, with no significant difference between the treatments (P〉0.05). The same was also true for average daily weight gain of 0.41, 0.36, 0.31 and 0.28g. However, treatment 1 and 2 had better relative weight gain 93.69 and 80.21%, than 3 and 4 at 62.37 and 64.85% respectively, (P〈0.05). The survival was 100% in all treatments. Treatment 2 was more cost effective at N539.06/Kg fish, followed by 1 with N667.52. Treatments 3 and 4 had the highest at N698.20 and N718.60 per kg fish. The trial showed that tilapia feed processed with fresh cattle blood performed as well as imported fish meal, boiled blood and local fish waste and in addition was more cost effective.

    Description: The study was carried out to investigate the lysine requirement and its effect on the body composition of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings. Two hundred and seventy fingerling O. niloticus (9.01 -11.09g) were reared in 35L plastic troughs. Six diets were formulated, containing 35% crude protein. The diets were formulated with ingredients deficient of lysine (Groundnut cake -3.23g lysine/100g diet and guinea corn -1.9g lysine/100g diet) for O. niloticus having whole body content of 7.51g lysine/100g protein. The diets consist of a basal diet (Diet I, no added lysine), while the test diets (II, III, IV and V) had 4.56g, 6.87g, 7.30g, 7.41g lysine/100g protein respectively. The reference diet was made of Clupeids (mixture of Pellonula afzeliusi and Physalia pellucida), groundnut cake and guinea corn but no added lysine (5.37g lysine/100g protein). The fish were fed twice daily (0900 and 18.00hrs) at 3% body weight for 56 days. There was significant difference in the mean weight gain and food conversion efficiency (P〈0.05). The four levels of lysine resulted in quadratic responses (P〈0.05). Calculation using regression equations from the relationship between the specific growth rate, weight gain and lysine levels show that lysine requirement for fingerling was 7.12g/100g protein respectively. The requirement of O. niloticus for lysine is 7.12g lysine/100g protein.

    Description: The production of Oreochromis niloticus (Family Cichlidae) was carried out at Kigera Reservoir using a total of 54 0.niloticus comprising of 34 males (62.96%) and 20 females (37.04%), with 57.41 % been sexually matured. This species bred throughout the period of study. It is a matertanal mouth brooder with females species carrying eggs, hatchlings and fries in their mouth. The sex ratio of O. niloticus was 1 :2. The maximum fecundity was 1152 eggs. The relative high fecundity recorded was an indication of suitability of studied areas for fish production. The environmental factors monitored showed that dissolved oxygen ranges from 3.7 to 5.4mg/l, rainfall ranges from 34.9 to 348.5mm, temperature was between 25.5 and 34.5~'C, pH value was between 7.4 and 7.5 while the rate of sunshine was between 23/4 and 61/2 hr. The spawning of this species in their natural or hatchery condition is therefore best achieved during the peak of raining season.

    Description: The physico-chemical and biological characteristics and nutrient concentration of Kigera Fish Farm ponds were monitored for two months to assess the water quality. The parameters measured were dissolved oxygen, temperature, hydrogen ion concentration, Secchi-disc transparency and zooplankton composition. Some fish species were identified in the course of study. Temperature ranged from 26 -30degreesC; dissolved oxygen ranged from 3mg/l-6.6mg/l, pH ranged 7.0 -7.2; while Secchi-disc transparency ranged from 0.19 - 0.25m. The three ponds were quite similar in these parameters. All the parameters that were investigated in this study are within the tolerable level for warm water fishes. Five different zooplankton species were identified at the Kigera Fish Farm, and were grouped according to their major categories namely: Copepods, Cyclopoids and Copepodite), Cladoceran (〈i〉Moina〈/i〉), and Rotifera (〈i〉Asplanchina〈/i〉). 〈i〉Branchionus〈/i〉 species in the Rotifers group dominated the zooplankton species in all the three ponds.

    Description: Fish Protein concentrate (FPC) from small and stunted tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) which would otherwise have been discarded was used in certain proportion (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%, where the zero percent serves as control) in addition with wheat flour, for the production of chin-chin in order to address the problem of inadequate intake of protein and to determine the acceptable proportion of FPC to wheat flour by consumers. From the organoleptic result, 10% FPC + 90% wheat flour was well accepted by the panel of judges and therefore recommended as this will help to increase the protein intake of consumers.

    Description: The seasonal variations in the physicochemical parameters were studied from January, 2007 to December 2007, in Kontagora Reservoir, Niger State, Nigeria. The physico- chemical parameters were determined bi-monthly , using the following methods , temperature using mercury thermometer in degree centigrade, transparency using Secchi-disc , Pye Unicam model 292 meter used for pH and electrical conductivity. Dissolved oxygen by modified Winklerazide method, water hardness and Phosphate- phosphorus by method of Lind (1979), total alkalinity by standard method described by Boyd(l979) , Nitrate- Nitrogen by Phenoldisulphonic acid method. The rainy season mean values for water temperature, depth, pH, Nitrate-Nitrogen, were significantly (P〈0.05) higher than those for the dry season. However, for transparency, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hardness, alkalinity, phosphate-phosphorus and total dissolved solid, the dry season mean values were higher than the rainy season mean value. As in most other Africa inland water bodies, there was seasonality in the physicochemical parameters variables. The torrential rains of the dam environment, the characteristics trade winds of the dry season, effect of deforestation, fertilizer application, herbicides, insecticide and other chemical factors might have contributed to the fluctuations of some of the physicochemical parameters detennined in the Reservoir.

    Description: The principle of Evaporative Cooling System (ECS) was adopted to construct a Wooden Evaporative Coolant Structure (WECS) to prolong the freshness of Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The keeping quality of the two structures was compared with fish kept at ambient using temperature, relative humidity, weight loss and organoleptic indices. Results showed that the Basket ESC and Wooden ECS recorded lower temperatures and higher relative humidity values as compared with the ambient. Tilapia stored at ambient condition recorded significantly higher weight loss (P〉0.05) than those kept in BECS and WECS. Results of sensory evaluation showed that there was a gradual reduction in the organoleptic quality of the fish stored in BECS and WECS. Quality of whole fish by panelist after 8 hours of storage showed that the two ECS models recorded significantly higher (P〈0.05) freshness scores than fish stored at ambient temperature. Fishmongers should adopt this technology (BECS and WECS) as a means of prolonging the freshness of Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus before they are sold to consumers.

    Description: The acute toxicity of galex (Metolachlor) to fingerlings of Orechromis niloticus (Trewavas) was determined in 96hour static bioassays. During the assays, opercular ventilation and tail fin movement rates of the fish were determined. Haematological parameters of the blood and histopathology of the gills were observed. The 96hours LC50 of galex to fingerlings of O. niloticus was observed to be 9.30mgL-1~c 1.04. Histopathology of gills of the fish exposed to l100mgL -1, 1200mgL and 13..00mg/L-1 showed a dose-dependent disruption of the architecture of the lamellae and atrophy which led to impairment in oxygen uptake. Other symptoms of toxicosis in exposed fish include haemorrhage of the gills and fins, blood shot eyes of the fish, copious production of mucus on the body and head, agitated swimming, eruption of the ventral side and spilling out of the digestive system of fish, air gulping and death.

    Description: The initial mean wet weight of the test fish were 7.64:~c 1.3 for the control and 6.33~c 0.9, 6.88~c 0.9 and 6.2~c 0.7 for the fish exposed to 1.02, 1.40 and 2.0mg/l of paraquat in water respectively. Growth was estimated from the sum of the individual wet weights of the fish at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of exposure to the toxicant and expressed as percent Cumulative wet weight gain. The results showed that the cumulative percent wet weight gain in the control group increased from 10.34% at 1 week to 36.13% at 8 weeks. The growth of fish that were exposed to 1.02, 1.04 and 2.00mg/l increased from 3%, 0.44% and 1.55% at 1 week to 30.81 %, 9.59% and 19.81 % at week 8 respectively. A statistically significant difference in growth rate of the treated and control was observed (p〈0.05).

    Description: The study was carried out to evaluate the potential of cocoa pod husk CPH as a replacement for maize in the diet of Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia). Triplicated groups of 20 fish per plastic tank (replicate) with average weight of 0.9~c2g per fish were randomly allocated into 5 groups in a completely randomized design in an 8-week, trial. The treatment included the control diet (Diet E) having maize as the only major energy source and diet A in which maize was completely replaced with cocoa pod Husk, also Diets B, C, D contained different proportions of maize and cocoa pod husk which ranged from 10-30 in percentage. Result revealed that 100% maize substitution with CPH had no significant effect on survival, weight gain and feed conversion ratio at reduced cost. The study suggests that CPH could suitably substitute up to 100% maize in the diet of Oreochromis niloticus with an irresistible increase in profit margin.

    Description: The morphometric characters of Cynothrissa mento from three major Lagoons (Ologe, Badagry and Epe) in Lagos, Nigeria were compared to assess the possibility of this fish species from the three Lagoons belonging to the same sub-population. The length-weight relationships (LWR), and condition factors (CF) of the fish were also described as well as the physico-chemical parameters of the three water bodies. The study was conducted between May, 2009 and April, 2010 and monthly sampling of fish and water was done in each sampling site. Seven7 physico-chemical parameters were assessed and these are; temperature, pH, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity and total hardness. A total of 294 specimens (Ologe 60, Badagry 174 and Epe 60) of C. mento were collected from the landings of the local fisher folks from the sampling sites. Seven morphometric characters; total length (TL), standard length (SL), body depth (BD), head length (HL), head depth (HD), eye diameter (ED) and interorbital width (IW) were measured. There was no significant difference (p 〉 0.05) in all the physico-chemical parameters measured among the sampling sites except pH. Coefficient of difference revealed that the C. mento from the three lagoons are uniform in all the morphometric parameters examined, which means that the specimens from the three sampling sites do not belong to different sub-populations. The growth coefficient/slope (b) values obtained for the fish species from the sampling sites ranged from 2.27 - 2.53, and differed significantly (p 〈 0.05) from 3, which indicates that most of the fish species have negative algometric growth.

    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: A survey of ectoparasites of three species of fish (Oreochromis niloticus, Auchenoglanis occidentalis and Bagrus bayad) of River Benue was carried out for a period of three weeks. Samples were collected directly from fishermen, at the river side (River Benue) in a plastic bucket and were carried to the laboratory. A smear samples from the skin were taken. Fins were cuted and gills were dissected and examine individually in saline solution in a Petri dish and platyhelminthes parasites as the most common ectoparasites of threes three species (Oreochromis, Auchenoglanis, and Bagrus). A total number of five hundred and seventy two (572) parasites were observed. Result of this study reveals that the large number of parasites were found on the gills (65%) of the three fish species studied, compared to skin (16%) and fins (19%) of the total parasites observed; among the three fish species studied. O. niloticus carries 33% while A. occidentalis carries 41% and B. bayad carries 26% of the total parasites seen. There was negligible difference in the level of infestation in the sexes (i.e. male and female) of Oreochronis and Bagrus. However, a great significance difference in the level of infestation was found in the sexes of Auchenoglanis
