    Description: The proximate composition of leaves, petiole, root, rhizome and seeds of waterlily harvested from Tatabu flood plain/wetlands were determined and analyzed in percentages. Moisture content was highest in the rhizome (20.40 ~C 1.241) while the seeds gave the lowest value of (4.18 ~c 0.176). The highest value for Ash content was observed in the root (27.36 ~C 1.261) and the seeds gave the lowest (2.81 ~c 0.498). Highest value for the Crude fat was obtained from the seeds (9.95 ~c 0.637) whiles the petiole gave the lowest value of (2.27 ~c 0.377). The Crude protein and Crude fibre values were highest in the leaves (19.5 4~c 0.782) and; (15.53 ~c 0.448) while the lowest was obtained in the seeds (3.27 ~c 0.104), (1.60 ~c 0.200) respectively. There was a significant differences among the parts analyzed for the Ash content (p〈0.05). The NFE varied from (31.21 ~c 2.176) to (78.15 ~c 1.418)

    A survey on utilization of aquatic macrophyte (Nymphae lotus Linn) among villages in Kainji Lake Basin (2021)

    Description: Social cultural surveys were carried out on the basis of questionnaire administered to the fishing families in three (3) villages that were purposely chosen due to the preponderance of the macrophyte on their water bodies. The questionnaire was designed to collect information on the cultural and ethno-botanical uses of (Nymphae lotus Linn) among the fishing communities of Kainji Lake Basin. Total of 120 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed. Study on the utilization of the macrophyte among the fishing communities confirmed that the people in the Kainji Lake Basin do consume the seeds directly as food (100%) while the leaf and petiole are used for medicinal purposes (85%). Also, the fishing communities prepare some concoction with the plant to enhance fish harvest in the river. The respondents identified eight fish species that spawn around the macrophyte, the most prevalent being Tilipia spp (17%) and the least being Prostopterus ssp 8%. The fishermen interacted with during the period of this survey do not support the total eradication of (Nymphae lotus Linn) on the water bodies, but agreed to selective control to check execessive water loss through tranpiration and to ease water travels.
