    Description: Lagos state has a major sea port for landing of frozen fish from Mauritania, Senegal, the Scottish waters and other European countries. In the last three years, the dense population of the state has encouraged all kinds of trade to thrive. Fish as a major food in many Nigerian diets has been known to complement the high carbohydrate intake of majority of the Nigerian populace because of the unaffordable prices of beef in the market. The market for frozen fish is rich in Lagos. It has provided many women fishmongers a livelihood for over a decade. They have been able to sustain their families and improve their social status over the years. This study reports the modus operandi of the trade. The study covered a period of three months. Fish sales were monitored in Epe, Oyingbo, Ijora and Alaba markets. The cooperation of the heads of markets (Iya Olojas) were requested at every market. It was ensured that observations and the interviews/questionnaires do not interfere with the women's activities. Specific areas focused upon in the study included countries of fish imports, most acceptable species, packaging, purchase price, sales price and profit margins. Other important factors in the fish market that were studied included entrance into the fish marketing business, sources of finance and problems. The study also made suggestions on how to improve upon the fish marketing business of women in Lagos State.

    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: A study was conducted in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital with the objective to investigate if fish trading could be a tool of poverty alleviation and socio-economic enhancement of the status of women in the household. A total of 120 correctly completed, structured and pre-tested questionnaires, out of the 150 administered to respondents, were retrieved for data analyses. Demographic data of the traders showed that all the respondents were women whose ages ranged from 15 to above 45 years. The ages of 33-45 years constituted 33.3% of the respondents while the age bracket of between 27-32 years constituted 23.3%. Majority (73.3%) were married while 25% were single-headed households (divorced or widowed). The study revealed that most of the respondents (approximately 61%) were able to meet their family expenditure jointly with their spouses while 28.3% of the respondents met the financial responsibilities of their families solely from the profit. Access to credit was found to be a major limitation. The study further revealed that 86.7% of the respondents would like to continue with the business because they were satisfied with the profit accruable to them from the trade.

    Description: This paper begins with a review of policy issues on status of women’s fundamental human rights and the effects on their optimal participation in fisheries development. The focus of the paper is on the importance of women in fisheries activities within the fisheries industry. Issues pertaining to gender inequality in the rural communities affecting women in the fisheries sector, and solutions to overcome some of these issues are discussed. The degree of participation of women in the fisheries sector is an overall reflection of the cultures, the laws of the country and the priority given by the state to ensure gender equity. Generally, women in Nigeria, especially those from depressed fisheries households, participate actively in many fisheries activities, including aquaculture. However, the lower status accorded to women in many of the communities in Nigeria means that their contribution to fisheries is undervalued and unrecognized. Issues that need to be addressed with regards to participation of women in fisheries which include sensitivity to gender issues in fishery, improve living conditions, promote programs relating to women, reconsidering the practice of relating fishing rights to their right to speak and others are discussed in the paper The paper also looks at the possibilities of articulating measures in sensitizing the womenfolks through education, especially in knowing their fundamental human rights as specified by the UN’s articles, especially ability to access micro-credit in fisheries activities, the nature of loans and alternative strategies to tackle the problem of small-scale credit to women in fisheries development in the nation.

    Description: Ifiayong is a small local village market where economically and commercially important fin and shellfishes are landed. It is located very close to the Five Star and Ibom Le Meridian Hotels at Nwaniba beach. Women functioned as transporters, sorters, processors, financiers, distributors and marketers of the thirty-two finfish families, seven shellfish species together with three turtles (reptiles) encountered at the study site. Socio-economic survey revealed that ninety-four women modally aged 46-55years (34; 36.17%) participated in the fisheries and frequently communicated in Efik (40; 42.55%), and were mostly drop-outs (40; 40.56%) in educational level and polygamous (35; 38.30%). The modal family size was 11-15 persons (45; 47.87%) who invested N 41,000 - N 50,000 (28; 29.79%). Problems encountered by these women together with the corresponding solutions and appropriate recommendations proffered were highlighted with the aim of making Ifiayong a revenue generating and tourism centre for Uruan Local Council and Akwa Ibom State Government.

    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: 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 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: In many developing countries, active agricultural production takes place in the rural areas. The exploitation of natural fish stocks is reaching limits and aquaculture production has not yet fulfilled its potential despite the large expanse of land in our rural areas. Social and economic indicators for developing countries consistently show that women bear the brunt of hardship in poor communities. The World Bank aims to reduce gender disparities by enhancing women’s participation in economic development. The recent transformation in the country pursues microfinance as a poverty alleviation tool capable of improving the living standard of the rural dwellers to promote their productivity. Globally, women constitute the majority of microfinance clients because of their consistent in their repayment records. In Nigeria about 98% of microfinance institutions are located in the urban areas, which make accessibility difficult for rural dwellers. This paper reveals the need for microfinance institutions in improving fish production through aquaculture, thus enhancing women empowerment and livelihood. The pursuance of this goal will in effect, affect socio-economics of rural women and urban drift of young women in search for greener pasture.

    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.

    Description: Women constitute the major stakeholders in the struggle for sustainable rural development in subSaharan Africa. The major fishing activities of women are in the area of processing, marketing and gear making. Women's fundamental contribution is continually under-appreciated and under-supported and is often adversely affected by prevailing economic policies and other developmental conditions.These circumstances must be reversed since sustainable development through fish production and marketing can not be achieved without the full participation of women. This paper is focused on how women can be empowered for sustainabledevelopment in fish development and marketing.

    Description: The involvement of women in aquaculture in Lagos State was studied. One hundred and fifty copies of the questionnaire were administered to women fish farmers, randomly selected from three local government areas of Lagos state. These were Ojo, Ibeju Lekki and Epe local government areas of Lagos State. The study revealed that 52% of the women adopted concrete pond system, 24% adopted dug-out or earthen pond system, 10% fibre glass tanks and 14% adopted Water Recirculatory/Flow-through system of fish farming. Other fish farming technologies that were included in this study were: stocking rates, feeding regimes and feed types, water quality management, general management of the farm, security, harvesting and marketing. These are the fish farming technologies that have been disseminated by the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research to women fish farmers. An average of 2 metric tonnes of fish per annum was calculated for each woman fish farmer in Lagos State. The bio-data of the women studied showed that fish farming can be practised by every woman, irrespective of age, educational standard, location, religion, finacial status and culture, as long as there is a good source of water supply).

    Description: The role of women in inland fishing communities in Nigeria have not been assessed or fully appreciated in the fishing industry in Nigeria. The role of women in the fisheries sub-sector is significant mainly in the post harvest activities such as sorting, preservation, processing, distribution and marketing of the fish products. The review highlights the fact that women not only make meaningful contribution to the socio-economic well-being of their households and the fishing but are also involved in other livelihood activities useful to their households and the community in which where they live. However, there are some constraints limiting women's involvement in fisheries and these range from socio-cultural, psychological to economic factors. It was therefore recommended that extension programmes on development issues should focus extensively on the post-harvest and livelihood activities in which women in inland fishing communities are mostly involved.
