    Description: The food habits of four species of Muglidae, consisting of Liza grandisquamus, L falcipinus, Mugil curema and , were investigated using the frequency of occurrence and numerical methods of analysis. Also, Relative Gut Length (RGL) of fish specimen measured was calculated from fish gut length. Generally, the food consisted mainly diatoms, blue - green & green algae and detritus. Other food items included annelid, crustacea, nematode, insect parts, dinoflagellates and unidentified organisms. M. curema had the least Species Richness Index (2.827) while L grandisquamus had the highest (4.088). The Shanon - Wiener Diversity Index ranged 0.91 in M. curema to 1.03 in L. falcipinus, while Shanon's Index (HI]) ranged from 2.095 (M. curema) to 2.372(L falcipinus).The male M. bananesis had the least mean RGL of 2.48 ~c 0.17 while female L. falcipinus and L grandisquamus had the highest mean RLG of 3.31 ~c 0.13. The food items observed and the RGL suggest that the muglids studied were herbivorous or omnivorous.

    Description: Aspects of the biology (species composition, Length - Weight relationships, condition factor, fecundity, and sex ratio) of Mugilids in waters around Port-Harcourt, Niger Delta were studied. Of the sampled population of Mugilidae, four species of mullet belonging to two genera were identified; Liza grandisquamus (33.55%), L.falcipinus (28.95%), Mugil curema (19.08%) and M. bananensis (18.42%). The mean sizes of all species ranged from 8.1 - 27.5cm total length and 6.10- 170.23g in weight. There was no significant difference P〉0.05 between male and female in all four species in both length and weight. All species exhibited isometric growths while populations of L. grandisquamus and M. bananensis revealed negative allometric and positive functions respectively. There was also no significant variation P〉0.05 in the Fulton condition factors between male and female in all species and among species. The highest absolute fecundity value of 211, 793 eggs was recorded in L. grandisquamus with a body weight of 71.80g and the best predictor of fecundity for all species was ovary weight, while males and females did not depart from a 1 : 1 sex ratio in all species.

    Fin fish assemblage of the main channel of the lower Benue River, Nigeria (2021)
    FISON | Lagos, Nigeria

    Description: Fish species assemblage in the lower Benue River was assessed by collecting samples in 5 established sample stations within Benue state. Some physical and chemical parameters were also assessed. The mean values of the parameters recorded include; Temperature 24~?C, pH = 7.09, Alkalinity (Cac03) = (37 mg/l) Amonia (NH3) = (37.9 mg/I), C02= (9.5mg/I), Chloride (Nacl) = (12.8mg/I), Total hardness = (11mg/I), Dissolved oxygen (Do) = (11 mg/I), and Turbidity = (45cm). Forty eight (48) fish species belonging to 32 genera in 18 families were recorded. It was observed that the family Bagridae had the highest number of species (7, 15%) Mormyridae, Characidae and Mochokidae followed with 5 species (10.63%) each. Cyprinidae, Clariidae and Cichlidae had 8.51% with 4 species each. Citharinidae formed 6.38% with 3 species, while schilbeidae formed 4.25% (2 species). All other families had only one species recorded in it (2. 12%). Bagridae and clariidae dominated in station 1, while the family Mochokidae showed dominance in station 5. Family Ariidae, Gymnarchidae and Centropomidae were rare in the lower Benue River. There were no significant differences in the abundance of the fish species caught in the different stations. Among the stations also, the l1umber of fish caught during the seasons did not differ (p〈0. 05). These physical and chemical factors did not significantly affect occurrence and even distribution offish in the study.

    Description: The food and feeding habits of Synodontis membraneceus of Ogobiri River of Bayelsa State, Nigeria was studied using 44 male and 51 specimens that were bought from fishers in the study area measuring between 5 and 25 cm total length. The Numerical and the frequency of Occurrence method of analysis were used. For the males, the food items by the numerical method were copepods (168), insects, (118), Cladocera (69), and unidentified items (32). In the female specimens, the food items were Cladocera (286), Insect (216), Copepod (100) and unidentified organisms/materials (65). In the Frequency of Occurrence method for the males, Copepod was still with a total of (48), Cladocera (44), Insects (29) and unidentified (16). For the females, Cladoera (48), Insects were (30) by Copepods (35) and unidentified (19). The Percentage composition of food items by the Numerical method was Cladocera (45.5%), Insects (34.5%), Copepod (12.5%), and unidentified items (7.0%) while the Percentage Frequency of Occurrence was, Cladocera, (30.5%), Insects (30.9%), Copepod (29.6%), and unidentified items (9.0%).

    Description: The length weight relationship of three benthic bivalves namely, Senilia (= Anadara) senilis (bloody cockle), Tagelus adansonii (knife clam), Tellina nymphalis (soft shell clam) from the Andoni Flats were determined. The bivalves which are of ecological importance were obtained from the intertidal areas of the Andoni Flats. Shell lengths of the bivalves were measured and corresponding dry weight measurements were also taken. The data obtained were then subjected to regression analysis using the FAO-ICLARM Fish Stock Assessment Tools (FiSAT). The length weight relationships obtained from the FiSAT analysis indicated isometric growth for Senilia (= Anadara) senilis, with slope (b) value of 2.942; positive allometric growth for Tagelus adansonii, with a ‘b’ value of 3.395 and negative allometric growth for Tellina nymphalis with ‘b’ value of 2.633.KEYWORDS: bivalves, length-weight, isometric growth, allometric growth, cockle, clam.
