    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: The objective of this study was to determine the best smoking method that will enhance consumer preference for Clarias gariepinus without affecting negatively the nutritive value. Two methods of smoking were used: cold and hot smoking. The fish were smoked with improvised drum smoking kiln and oven. Smoked fish samples obtained were subjected to chemical analyses and sensory evaluation. Chemical analyses showed that the smoked fish were still rich in protein (66.0067.52%) and fat (9.83-12.28%); while the moisture content ranged between 7.82-8.24% and ash, 12.86-14.16%. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the protein, ash and moisture contents. Significant differences (P〈0.05) were observed in the Calcium(Ca), Potassium(K), Sodium(Na), Zinc(Zn), Lead(Pb), Iron(Fe) and Phosphorus(P) contents. Only hot smoke-dried (HSD) fish samples showed no presence of lead. The levels of sodium(Na) and potassium(K) in the smoked fish were relatively high, though, the amount of potassium(k) was higher. Sensory evaluation results revealed that there were no significant differences (P〉0.05) in the colour and taste ratings of the smoked fish samples. However, significant differences (P〈0.05) were observed in the odour, texture and overall acceptability. Hot smoke-dried and cold oven-dried Clarias gariepinus had the best overall acceptability in ratings.

    Description: Metrological parameters and their impacts on weight loss of fish inside Kainji Solar Tent Dryer were experimentally investigated. Drying experiments were conducted in solar dryer across the five agro ecological zones of Nigeria. During the drying experiments, the parameters such as temperature, relative humidity were lowest. The study showed that meteorological parameters were the primary determinants for fish drying within the Kainji Solar Tent Dryer, since weight loss during the experiment followed the pattern of these parameters

    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: This study evaluated the effect of varying smoking durations of 6, 6.5, 7 and 7.5 hours on the microbiological quality and percentage moisture content of cold-smoked Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua. The fish sample were cold-smoked using the traditional drum oven. Four batches of the smoked fish were stored in metal baskets at ambient temperatures for a period of 12 days and assessed for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli loads, Mould count, Total Plate Count and Total Coliform Count. Analyses of the smoked fish samples were carried out at the initial stage (day 0) and subsequently every alternate days (i.e. days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12). Significant variations (P 〈 0.05) were obtained for all the microbial counts on the four smoked fish samples. The best microbiologically stable cold-smoked samples were that smoked at the longest duration of 7.5 hours. This produced the least mean microbial load range of TPC (1.50 x 103 - 2.00 x 105cfu/g); TCC varied from 0.0MPN/g to 12.0 MPN/g ; Mould count (1.32 x103 - 2.55 x 105 cfu/g) and Staphylococcus aureus (3.0 x103 - 1.35 x 105cfu/g) while percentage moisture content ranged between 25.3% to 15.2%. All the samples tested negative to Escherichia coli.

    Description: The paper examined gender and fisheries of Lake Kainji, Nigeria. The study highlights socio economic characteristics of women involved in Kainji Lake fisheries, important issues about gender and fisheries. It reveals that the categories of women in the Kainji Lake fisheries are in the middle age of 31 to 40 years with very low educational background. It also indicates that fish processing has been the most prominent activity of women in fisheries of Lake Kainji and constitute about 60 percent of the women. The study concludes that women play significant roles in all aspects of fisheries in Lake Kainji. Importantly, women’s roles span reproduction and production.

    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: An experiment was conducted to determine the efficacy of pepper and garlic spice mixture at 0%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% levels (per gram of fish) in retarding lipid oxidation and on the organoleptic quality of hot-smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Kainji Area. The fish samples were frozen, cut, eviscerated, cleaned and dipped in 14.5% brine for 10 minutes. They were treated with the spices, smoked at 80-86~'C for 6 hours, cooled, stored at room temperature (25~'C-31~'C) for 21 days and used for physical, chemical, microbial and sensory evaluation studies. Untreated samples served as control. From the results of analysis, samples treated with the mixture of pepper and garlic paste (1:1 ratio) were microbially more stable than the control samples as these had longer shelf-life and were not visibly covered by moulds during a 21-day storage period. The preservative activity of brine and the anti-oxidant activity of pepper and garlic mixture were evident from lower Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and peroxide values of treated samples relative to untreated samples. Results of sensory evaluation showed a general preference for spice-treated samples.

    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: Drying of freshly caught fish to heat from sunlight is the simplest method of fish preservation in the arid regions of the tropics, where heat energy from sunlight is of considerable intensity, the Kainji Solar Tent Dryer was developed to improve the traditional drying methods Bagrus bajad was used in this study as a result of its dominance in the Jebba and Kainji Lake Basin. The fish were dried in the Kainji Solar Tent Dryer and open sun and dying was completed within 2-4 days. Results from organoleptic study show that dried fish products in the Kainji Solar Tent Dryer were light, whitish-yellow colour, while the sun dried fish was dark orange in colour. Solar dried fish had mean score of 8.2 for appearance while sun dried fish had 5.2, sun dried fish had 6.6 for texture while solar dried fish had 7.8. For odor and taste solar dried fish had mean score of 8.2 and 8.4 while sun dried fish had 4.6 and 0. Moisture content was 10.6 for solar dried fish compared to 22.26 for sun dried fish. Crude protein and fat were 62.3 and 16.25 for sun dried fish compared to 82.14 and 8.46 for solar dried fish. Solar dried fish had 43.3cfu/gm compared to 132 cfu/gm for sun dried fish in the microbiological load assessment. Organoleptic assessment of the final dried product showed that the solar-dried fish were of better fish quality than traditional sun-dried fish.

    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: Quality deterioration (microbial load) of smoked white catfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) from Ekeonunwa market Imo state Nigeria, was studied for six weeks. The experimental fish was divided into two batches. One batch of 18 fishes with average weight of 700g was resmoked weekly at 75oC. the second batch of 18 fishes weighing an average of 750g was left unresmoked. Weekly samples of both unresmoked and resmoked fish were taken from different regions (body flanks, gill and gut) and analyzed in the laboratory. Total plate counts (TPC) for the bacterial organisms in both resmoked and unresmoked samples (Table III) ranging between 1.56 105 and TNTC ( too numereous to count) exceeded the range of specified microbiological limits recommended for fish and fishery products by ICMSF (1986). Pathogenic organisms isolated included Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Lysteria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium varrucossum, Yeast and Mucor. Both unresmoked and resmoked fish specimens were contaminated with these spoilage microbes, but the microbial load of the resmoked samples were less than those of the unresmoked samples. Resmoking beneficially reduces microbial load of stored fish, increases the shelf/storage life, but can not totally eliminate pathogens. The presence of pathogens raises a public health concern.

    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: Bacteria flora predominates the skin of freshly caught fish, and will invade the tissue of the fish immediately after catch. Two preservative methods (cold smoking and freezing) were used to store eighteen specimens of Chrysichthys furcatus harvested from River Niger at Cable-point, Asaba. Two specimens were randomly selected every day from the cold smoked specimens and on weekly basis from the frozen specimens for physical, chemical and biological examination for bacteria causing spoilage. Five bacteria isolates: Salmonella spp, Vibrio cholera, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris, were identified. Physical observation of the cold smoked fish after 24 hours showed the production of gas, off-odor, off flavour and slime formation. The colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria isolated from the fish immediately after harvest was 116 x 109 cfu/g. It increased to 268 x 109 cfu/g after 4 days of preservation, and to 64 x 109 cfu/g after four weeks of preservation. The Chi square (X2) analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between the bacteria load of frozen and cold smoked specimens. Free fatty acid value immediately after harvest was 0.90 %. It increased to 2.24 % after four weeks in the freezer and 2.35 % after four days of cold smoked storage. The Total Volatile Nitrogen profile at harvest time was 15.3 mgN/100g. It increased to 35.2 mgN/100g after four days, (for the cold smoked specimens) and 26.3 mgN/100g (for the frozen specimens) after four weeks. The peroxide and hydrogen ion concentrations followed the same increasing trend. The study revealed that freezer preservation was better than the cold smoked one. This is because bacteria proliferation was reduced and or halted in the frozen specimens, whereas it encouraged rapid bacteria growth in the cold smoked fish. The production of total volatile nitrogen (TVN), free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (PV) and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) was higher in the cold smoked specimens than in frozen ones, hence the cold smoked specimen exhibited shorter shelf life than their frozen specimens.

    Description: The changes that occur on proximate composition of some common fish processing methods used in Nigeria were studied in order to determine the nutritional content of the processed products. Traditional (smoke drying and sun drying) and modern (electrical oven drying) methods of processing were used to process Pseudotholithus elongatus and the results were compared with the fresh sample to determine the changes that occur during processing. The results for the fresh sample of P. elongatus were 79.50%, 1.50%, 0.8% and 18.2% for moisture, ash, lipid and protein. For the processed products, the moisture content for smoke-dried, sun-dried, salt sun-dried and oven-dried fish were 27.00%, 21.83%, 19.50% and 20.17% . Oven dried had the highest protein content (69.87%) while salt sun-dried had the lowest (54.90%). Lipid content was highest in sun-dried (6.6%) and lowest in smoke-dried (4.6%). Correlation between smoke-dried and sun-dried were r2 = 0.99, smoke-dried and oven-dried were r2= 0.98 and smoke-dried and salt sun-dried were r2= 0.98. There was no correlation between the fresh and the processed P.elongatus. The present findings revealed that processing affect the nutritional composition of fish.

    Description: The effects of groundnut oil and sodium chloride as protectants against insect infestation of dried fish were investigated for a period of 13 weeks. The fish samples were divided into 3 groups, a group was soaked for 10mins in 30% sodium chloride solution (Brine), and the second group was dipped in groundnut oil after smoking while the third group served as control. The samples were kept in different containers in the laboratory at temperature of 28oC and 70% Relative humidity for 13 weeks. Results show that, the fish treated with 30% sodium chloride was effectively protected from insect and moulds compared to sample treated with groundnut oil. The odour and the texture were also more attractive to customers. However, fish treated with groundnut oil was attacked by insects at week 12th and 13th with 6 Maculatus, 4 Necrobia rufipes species and at few mould colonies. The control specimens however was attacked by insects from week 8th to 13th with numerous number of both Necrobia rufipes and Maculatus species as well as mould colonies showing as early as from the 6th week. The results proved that sodium chloride is more effective than groundnut oil for long period of storage.

    Description: Women are the majority of the third World population. They are considered subservient to their male counterpart, even in Europe and America where women have greater basic human right. This paper evaluates the various roles of women in Fisheries and fish processing. Statistics from the European Union shows that, of the various fishing sectors, participation of women (in terms of number) was greatest in fish processing, followed by marine aquaculture, marine fishing and inland aquaculture, with no women involved in inland fishing. In Asia and Africa women are basically involved in fish processing and marketing. In Asia (Thailand and Philippines), women are involved in hatchery operations in aquaculture in addition to fish processing. The finding of the review shows that Fish processing in developing countries, principally Africa is not attracting young literate generation who may have better management competence. It further revealed that, in Nigeria women are directly involved in capture fishery, in addition to fish marketing and processing. This is aimed at empowering women economically to meet the pressing needs of the family. The paper further assesses the problems of women in fisheries and fish processing namely, access to financial resources, education, support services and the need to ensure food security. Possible ways of improving women’s participation in fisheries were highlighted.

    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.
