    Description: This study investigates the morphometric and meristic features of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus in relations to heavy metal concentrations. Varying sizes of Clarias nigrodigitatus were obtained with the help of fisher-folks, from Arakanga reservoir Ogun state, Nigeria. Water samples were also collected alongside with fish samples per week and five of the samples were sent to laboratory for analysis to determine the presence of four heavy metals in both fish and water. Lead, Cadmium, Nickel and Arsenic were investigated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Four tissues; gills, kidney, liver and muscle were compared with the level of metals in the water. Lower concentrations of metals were recorded in water except for Cadmium which is higher, than in fish. Lower concentration of heavy metals found in fish and water was less than that recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO's) guideline for maximum concentration recorded in the tissue of the samples. Lead was found to be dominant in the gills of C. nigrodigitatus, while Cadmium was found to be highest in the water sample from Arakanga reservoir. There is significant difference (P〈0.05) in Nickel and Arsenic concentration in the tissues of C. nigrodigitatus and water. It was concluded that though the heavy metals of interest were present in measurable quantities, they were still within safe limits for consumption.

    Description: Assessment of the result of crude oil spillage that occurred at Aguobiri Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State in 2007, is presented in this paper. The results of the laboratory analysis of water samples for Total Hydro carbon content (THC) was 1.56mg/l, 2.94mg/l and 23.96mg/l at 300m,200m and 9m respectively from the spill point. Heavy metals values in plant tissues were Vanadium-2.1 4mg/kg, Nicke-4.06mg/kg and THC of 09,309.5mg/kg at 300m from the spill point. The values of heavy metals in soil samples were Vanadium 2.14mg/kg and Nickel4.19mg/kg and THC of 133,886.20mg/kg at 300m from the spill point. This is to buttress the fact that oil spill is not limited to the site of occurrence but spreads to affect flora life far away from the spill point. Consequently, this negatively impacts farming and fisheries activities in such areas.

    Description: A review of migratory activity in fishes reveals that migration is important for the completion of life cycle. Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the wide spread existence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumed not to move between habitats. These movements are often for spawning, feeding and refuge, and in many cases are fundamental for the successful completion of life cycles. Chemical and physical changes in water environment affect the migration of fish. Most fish undertake feeding, breeding or wintering migrations. A number of studies have documented the influence of freshwater and ocean conditions, climate variability and human impacts resulting from impoundment and aquaculture on fish migration.

    Description: Nutrient content of organic manure vary according to the composition which determines the fertility and efficiency. The effectiveness of liquid manure depends on the N.P.K value of the manure source. One kilogram of each manure source was weighed and loaded into a polyethylene bag for ten (10) days anaerobic fermentation. pH was monitored for five consecutive days after the second day using Digital pH meter (Model PHeP NOVO Illkirch Cedex France) with values ranging between 5.6-6.3 and 5.7-6.9 for both liquid manures slurry. The liquid manure was produced from Pig and Poultry manure slurry with N.P.K values range between 4.80-5.96, 4.10-4.66,0.47-0.80 and 7.50-8.80, 3.25-5.60, 0.79-0.85 for Pig and poultry manures respectively. Organic manure loose nitrogen when exposed to extreme temperature due to volatilization of NH3. Therefore, in liquid manure production, anaerobic fermentation enhances nutrient stability through immobilization of ammonia-nitrogen compounds. The interaction of N.P.K and pH shows the availability, stability and quality of nutrient in the liquid manure produced. Anaerobic fermentation produces better quality liquid manure than the manure due to immobilization of ammonia nitrogen. Both liquid manure had positive correlation (R2) of 0.6977 and (R2) of 0.2370 for Poultry and Pig liquid manure. Liquid manure application in ponds can reduce cost of pond fertilization especially in the integrated fish farming system than the use of organic manure directly serving as a better means of pond fertilization and pollution control in the farm environment under a stressed economy.

    Description: Fish species have different responses to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure to crude oil. Some achieve PAH biotransformation while others have bioconcentration. These trends may be specie-specific and may depend on PAH uptake route - through water or food. PAH uptake in the red sea bream, Pagrus major for PAH biomonitoring in Asian oil spill waters was assessed in water-borne and dietary exposures of the fish to four representative PAHS. In the water-borne exposure, juvenile fish of average weight 83g were exposed in a flow-through toxicity test for ten (10) days to a mix of 30~kg/L phenanthrene, pyrene, and chrysene; 3~kg/L of benzo[a] pyrene (B[a]P). In the dietary exposure, 20 juveniles of average weight 80g were fed diets with 10 n g/g phenanthrene, pyrene and chrysene, and 2 n g/g of B[a]P for ten days. Fish livers were sampled for PAH concentrations on days 0, 2, 5 and l0 in both exposures. Phenanthrene PAHs were accumulated in the water-borne exposure with concentrations increasing with duration of exposure. Phenanthrene had the highest concentration of 2210 ng/g on day 10, while pyrene and chrysene were 170 and 45 ng/g respectively. B[a]P was not accumulated. ln the dietary exposure, all the test PAHs were accumulated. Bioconcentration decreased with duration of exposure, unlike in the water-borne exposure which was the reverse. Phenanthrene, with an initial 58 ng/g concentration, was reduced to 10.6 ng/g on day 10. B[a]P accumulation in the dietary exposure is significant. PAH accumulation was higher in the water-borne exposure than in the dietary exposure and PAH bioconcentration in the fish depends on uptake route.

    Influence of indices of reproduction on condition factor and some morphometric features of Tilapia guineensis (2021)
    FISON | Lagos (Nigeria)

    Description: The influence of indices of reproduction (Gonadosomatic index-GSI-and Hepatosomatic index -HSI-) on condition factor and morphometric features of Tilapia guineensis were examined using 160 fish comprising 70 females and 90 males. Total length, standard length and body depth were measured to the nearest 1cm, while each fish was weighed to the nearest 0.1 g. The gonads and liver were removed and weighed separatdy to the nearest 0.00lg. Gonadosomatic index, Hepatosomatic index and condition factor were calculated. Correlation analysis between the reproductive indices and the external features of the fish were carried out. Results revealed positive correlation between gonadosomatic index and body depth and between GSI and standard length in both sexes, indicating the dependence of gonadal development on body depth and standard length in both sexes. However, the relationship between the reproductive indices and total length was significant only in the female. The relationship between HSI and Standard length was also significant in female (P〈0.01, r = 0.707) and male (P〈0.05, r = -0.216), but in positive and negative direction-respectively. The correlation between the reproductive indices and condition factor were not significant in both sexes. The correlation of GSI and HSI in male (r = 0.062) was not significant, while the positive correlation of GSI and HSI in female (r= 0.300) was significant (P〈0.05). It was therefore concluded that body depth and standard length could be important factors in determining spawning success in both sexes, while total length may be an additional tool in determining spawning success only in female T. guineensis.

    Description: Changes in water quality caused by industrialization and technological advancement, affect fishery resources. The Warri River like many other water bodies in Niger Delta, Nigeria are experiencing side effects in terms of pollutant build up cum destruction of fishery resources. This study investigated the fish species composition/diversity of the river in comparison to the baseline studies of previous researchers. Nine sampling locations were chosen including, Jeddo, NNPC Jetty, Nigeria ports Authority jetty, Main Warri market, Delta Steel Jetty, Shell Ramp, Udu Bridge/market Ugbolokposo and Agbarho.Fish species were collected from the respective nine Locations monthly for 24 months. Fish were obtained from landings of local fishermen every fortnight with prior arrangement. Highest diversity index of 3.48 occurred at shell Ramp/Globestar, while the least value of 2.63 was recorded at NNPC Jetty. The condition factor of most fish species in the study were above 1.0, though more species were better conditioned in location 1 (Jeddo). The catfish families probably due to their hardy nature were best conditioned of all families represented. Thirty four fish species recorded in this study compared to 91 species obtained in previous works of 1989 -1994 reflects a sharp drop in species diversity.

    Description: Globally, aquatic ecosystems are highly polluted with heavy metals from anthropogenic and terrigenous sources. The objectives of this study, is to portray the use of EDXRF for the analysis of heavy metal pollution in Clarias gariepinus. C. gariepinus were collected from Dumba, Lake Chad, Nigerian sector and analyzed with EDXRF with 〈sup〉109〈/sup〉Cd as excitation source of the samples. The concentrations of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Lead and Zinc (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn) in mg/kg were determined in C. gariepinus and were compared with World Health Organization (WHO, 1985) and Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA, 2003) to ascertain the level of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn in C. gariepinus from Dumba. The results indicated that C. gariepinus is polluted with Cr, Cu, Mn, and Pb when compared with permissible limit of WHO, 1985 and FEPA, 2003. Therefore, the consumption of C. gariepinus from Dumba may pose a health risk.

    Description: The Length-weight relationship and changes in the condition factor of Citharinus citharus of the Lake Akata, an ox-bow Lake of River Katsina-Ala, a tributary of River Benue was studied. A total of five hundred and five (505) fish samples were collected from May 2008-April 2009. Length-weight relationship of fish was estimated from the equation: W = a.Lb which was transformed to base 10 logarithm, and condition factor (k) was determined using the equation: K=100W/L3. Both sexes of C. citharus in Lake Akata exhibited negative allometric growth pattern. The combined length weight relationship of C. citharus sexes was LogW = - 1.7738 + 2.9044 LogL (r2 = 0.9527). The coefficient of determination for the Length-Weight relationship for both sexes of C. citharus in Lake Akata was strongly positive. The mean condition factor for the combined sexes was 1.37 ~c 0.02, but individually, female C. citharus were in better condition (1.44 ~c 0.03) compared to the males (1.29 ~c 0.02). The condition factor of C. citharus in dry season (1.37 ~c 0.03) was not significantly higher than that of (1.36 ~c 0.03) in wet season (p〉0.05). This means the fish species are living well in the lake as the 'K' value are greater than one.

    Description: A study was conducted for natural radioactivity of some fish samples from Kainji Lake, situated between latitudes 9~' 50' - 10~' 57' North and longitudes 4~'25'-4~'45' East, New Bussa, Niger state, Nigeria, using gamma spectroscopy method with Nal(TI) detector. Radioactivity a phenomenon that leads to production of radiations, and radiation is known to trigger or induce cancer. The fish are analyzed to estimate the radioactivity (activity) concentrations due to natural radionuclides (Radium 222(226Ra), Thorium 232(232Th) and Potassium 40 (40K). The obtained result shows that the activity concentration for (226Ra), in all the fish samples collected ranges from 16.06 ~c 0.44 Bqkg-1 to 67.39 ~c 12.34 Bqkg-1 with an average value of 37.22 ~c 4.31 Bqkg-1. That of 232Th, ranges from 42.66 ~c 0.81 Bqkg-1 to 200.6 ~c 10.66 Bqkg-1 and the average value stands at 94.82 ~c 3.82 Bqkg-1. The activity concentration for 40K, ranges between 243.3 ~c 1.56 Bqkg-1 to 384.98 ~c 11.97 Bqkg-1 and the average is 618.2 ~c 26.81 Bqkg-1. This indicated that average daily intake due to natural activity from the fish is valued at 0.999 Bq/day, 2.545Bq/day and 10.31 Bq/day for 226Ra, 232Th and 40K respectively. This shows a promising result, since the activity concentration values for most of the fish are within the acceptable limits. However location Upstream02 (9~'51'.285~AN, 4~'35'.533~AE) and Upstream07 (9~'51'.285~AN, 4~'35'.533~AE) fish, became outliers with significant values of 1 13.10~kSvy-1 and 121.68~kSvy-1 effective dose. This could be attributed to variation in geological formations in the lake as well as the feeding habits of these fish. The work shows that consumers of fish from Kainji Lake have no risk of radioactivity ingestion, even though no amount of radiation is assumed to be totally safe.
