    Description: The proximate composition and amino acids assay of smoked Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus were determined using standard procedures. The mean proximate composition of Oreochromis niloticus are 8.9% moisture, 16.00% lipids, 5.6% ash, 44.5% crude protein, 0.42% crude fiber and 24.9% NFE while Clarias gariepinus has 8.19% moisture, 15.55% lipids, 4.725 ash, 40.46% crude protein, 0.50% crude fiber and 30.58% NFE. There is therefore a nutrient variation between the 2 species of fish Oreochromis niloticus has higher crude protein, lipids, moisture and ash content than Clarias gariepinus.The amino acids profile shows that both fishes have 17 amino acids. Apart from Tryptophan, the following essential amino acids Histidine, Methionine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Valine and Phenylalanine are present in both fish. Oreochromis niloticus however has higher quantities of the essential amino acids except for Histidine than Clarias gariepinus

    Description: Cephalic abnormality in nine mating groups involving Clarias gariepinus with cephalic abnormality, non Cephalic and Maiduguri origin were investigated to determine the level and the genetic basis of the occurrences and its aquaculture implication. The highest mean percentage survival in a Cephalic crossed with non cephalic group was 68.6% whereas the last mean percentage survival was 25.7% in the group of Maiduguri cross with Maiduguri parent. Cephalic abnormality was observed in the crosses with both female and male cephalic with a total frequency ranging from 0 % to 70.8. %. The least number of cephalic abnormality was 18.5% which involved a cross of non cephalic with cephalic, and the highest was 70.8%. This level of cephalic abnormality shows that the defect was hereditary. This result implies that, the genetic factor is a major contributor in the feature of cephalic abnormality in Clarias gariepinus.

    Description: Chlorpyrifos-ethyl with its mode of action was evaluated in laboratory studies to determine its 96-h acute toxicity, using juveniles of Clarias gariepinus. The fish was exposed in glass aquaria to 0.64~cmg/l, 0.80mg/l, 0.96mg/l, 1.12mg/1 and 1. 28mg/1. The test substance was found to have lethal effects on fish as they changed fish behaviour and caused death. The 96-hLC50 value for C. gariepinus was estimated as 0.92mgl-1. Observations of be bavioural and mophlogical responses were used as indicators of sublethal toxicity. The behavioural toxicology bioassay may be valuable in comparing and predicting the mode of action of new or unknown toxicants in this and other fish species.

    Description: This study was undertaken to observe the clinical changes associated with the dietary ascorbic acid supplementation in the diet of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, using the presence or absence of scorbutic (ascorbic acid deficiency) symptoms as indices. Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (6.02~c 04g) were randomly distributed into glass tanks of 60 x 45 x 45cm3 dimension at ten fish per tank in a triplicate treatment. Five diets containing 40% crude protein was formulated. Ascorbic acid (AA) was supplemented in the diets as ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (a mixture of phosphate esters of ascorbate). Each treatment had varying levels of ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation, at 0 (Control) 50, 100, 150 and 200mg AA/kg, in Treatments 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Fish were fed practical diets twice daily at 900hrs and 1600hrs. Weekly weighing of fish was done and data collected were subjected to statistical analysis. At the end of week 4, fish fed scorbutic diets (diets without Ascorbic acid) had significantly lower weight than fish fed AA supplemented diets (P〈0.05). After week 6, fish fed scorbutic diet began to develop clinical symptoms including lordosis (lateral curvature), broken skull, pigmentation and scoliosis (vertical curvature). Radiographs confirmed defects in the vertebral columns of fish in this treatment. Highest mortality was recorded in this treatment as 30%, In all parameters considered, treatment 4 fed 150mg AA/kg gave the best AA supplementation that prevented growth reduction and clinical signs of AA deficiency.

    Description: Research was carried out to explore the fish species diversity and study some aspects of the biology of fish of Daberam reservoir, Katsina state, Nigeria, for a period of three month from March to May 2009. Samples were collected from commercial fishermen and experimental fishing gears, preserved in formalin and taken to laboratory for identification; confirmation was done by fisheries experts. Eight genus comprising ten species were identified. The regression coefficient (b) was 3.07, 2.91 and 3.21 for the three most commercially importance species in the reservoir i.e. Oreochromis niloticus, and Clarias gariepinus respectively which indicated Positive allometric growth for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus and negative allometric growth for T. nilotica. The mean condition factor (k) was 1.140, with values of 1.027and 0.732 for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus, respectively. This indicates that the fish are not leaving well compared to other freshwater fishes.

    Description: The evaluation of Cr. Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn,As and Pb concentrations in Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus from Lake Geriyo Yola,Adamawa, Nigeria using X - ray fluorescence (XRF) technique is discussed. The analytical samples are irradiated with high energy electrons of 109Cd to produce fluorescent X-rays was produced which passes to the Silicon-lithium detector through Mo target as a source of monochromatic X-rays. The spectrum of energy generated on the detector was processed by a Multi- Channel Analyzer to obtain analytical data. The intensity of the fluorescent X-rays on the detector is proportional to the concentration of the individual element of interest in the sample. This method can identify up to 30 or more elements at the same time. The results showed varying levels of heavy metals in the fishes. The concentrations of Cr, Mn, Cu, and Ni in the fishes were much higher than WHO and PEPA maximum permissible limits, while the concentrations of Zn and Pb were lower than the standards. The results suggest that the lake is polluted with Cr, Mn, Cu and Ni and the consumption of fishes of the lake is life threatening to man.

    Description: A model fish smoking kiln was designed and fabricated to use agro-wastes (sawdust, palm kernel shell and rice bran) as alternative to conventionally used charcoal (control) as fuel energy source for smoking fish. Clarias gariepinus was washed, brined and smoked in chunks or whole in the kiln. The smoking kiln has an estimated capacity of 40kg of fish/batch with six fish trays and 36 fish hooks. Heat transfer is by conduction and convection. The rotatory wheel and axle on which the fish drying trays were anchored ensured even distribution of heat. The kiln has 69.4% energy efficiency and drying period of 10 hours at an average temperature range of 60 - 120degreesC, depending on the type of agro-waste used as source of fuel energy. The fuel conversion ratio, drying rates and calorific values of the different agro-waste products were also determined. Calorific value of the four agro-wastes ranged between 16.2MJ/Kg in palm kernel to 30MJ/Kg in charcoal. The drying rates of sawdust and rice bran compare favourably with charcoal and they produced smoked fish similar in dryness and quality with fish smoked with charcoal. Palm kernel had the least drying rate of smoked fish (weight/hour) during the 10-hour smoking duration.

    Description: The aim of this study was to establish the efficacy of formalin in removing the adhesiveness of Clarias gariepinus eggs during artificial propagation and the effects on prospective fry. 1g of catfish eggs were put in five concentrations of formalin \{O.O (control), 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mg/l\} at three exposure times (10, 15 or 20min). In each treatment, the detachment of eggs increases with exposure time but were not significantly different (P〉O.05). 0.4mg/1 of formalin had the highest number of detached eggs. At the highest formalin concentration 72% of the eggs still adhered together which provide a good substrate for the growth of fungi. The use of formalin delayed hatching of C. gariepinus eggs when compared with the control. The more the exposure period of C. gariepinus eggs to formalin, the higher the hatching time. Survival of fry was highest in the group that has been exposed to 0.4mg/1 and exposure period of l0min. At the highest concentration (1.0mg/l) and exposure period (20min), the survival was lower by 55.5%. Based on this study, the optimum concentration of formalin was O.4mg/l and exposure period of l0min. for the removal of egg adhesiveness, increase hatching and improved survival success of C. gariepinus.

    Description: The variation in size and weight of fry and fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus has been a major factor affecting the success of hatchery production of the species. It encourages cannibalism, thus reducing the overall survival. The disparity in weight and population was assessed to determine the necessity of sorting as a reliable method of controlling size disparity and mortality in hatchery production. Two-week-old fry with average weight of 15mg and length range of 0.8-0.9cm were randomly sampled and stocked at 200 fry/litre in 30 litre circular tanks. The fish were fed for four weeks on 45% crude protein diet, ad libitum. At the end of four weeks, there were three groups; large, medium and small with mean weight of 4.02g, 1.24g and 0.17g, respectively. The cumulative mean weight was 1.8g, population ratio was 1:8:10 for large, medium and small, respectively.

    Description: A 70 day experiment was conducted to determine the correct level of inclusion of livestock vitamin premix in the diet of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings and to monitor the utilization efficiency and growth performance of the test fish. 180 fngerlings of C. gariepinus were randomly distributed to six treatments, each weighing 0.76 ~c 0.05g. Thirty fingerlings per treatment were used. Each treatment had varying levels of livestock vitamin premix except the control that had no additional vitamin premix. Weighings of fish were done weekly and feed adjusted accordingly. The data collected were subjected statistically to descriptive and analysis of variance. All the treatments were significantly different from each other and also from the control at (P 〈 0.05). The highest mean weight gain was recorded in treatment 5 (0.910) which had 2% premix inclusion. The carcass analysis showed Ts with the highest crude protein level (64.43%). The highest daily and weekly mean weight gain were recorded in treatment 5; O.013g and 0.130g respectively. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was lowest in T1, (2.147). The FCR for T5 (2.535) was insignificantly different (P 〈 0.05) from T1,. The fish feed control had the best FCR. T5 had the best utilization and growth performance when the average weight gain and the carcass crude protein composition and energy were compared. The fat deposited in fingerlings fed T5 were moderately (5.63) lower than treatment 6 with 5.86. It can be concluded that the fish fed treatment 5 will be less fatty than fish fed treatment 6 but more fatty than the fish fed the controls.

    Description: Tilapia guineensis eggs were spawned and hatched in different salinities (17, 12, 7, 5, 2 and 0) ppt. The study was conducted in eight replicates. The aim of the investigation was to ascertain disparity in hatching size of Tilapia guineensis attributable to salinity. Immediately hatching was observed, body weight of five hatchlings in each replicate was individually weighed in milligramme. The individual total length of the five hatchlings was also measured in millimeter. The height of the yolk sac larva was determined with micro-metre screw gauge graduated in millimeter from the top of the yolk sac to the dorsal region of the larva. Data obtained were used to calculate yolk sac volume. Significant differences (P〈0.01) were observed in body weight and total length of larvae hatched in different salinities. The heaviest and longest larvae were hatched in 12 ppt saline water. The yolk sac volume of larvae hatched in lower salinities were significantly higher (P〈0.01) than the yolk sac volume of larvae hatched in higher salinities. The smallest yolk sac volume was recorded in 12ppt saline water. Our findings show that salinity could be manipulated for economic production of heavier seeds of Tilapia.

    Description: A 70-day feeding trial was conducted to test the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal by poultry offal in African catfish Clarias gariepinus diets. Four isonitrogenous ration containing various levels (0%, control), 30%, 60% and 90% of poultry offal were fed to three replicate groups of C.gariepinus fingerlings with a mean initial weight of 0.74~c 0.15 g. 10 fish/plastic bowl were tested in 15 I capacity plastic bowl. Mean weight gain of the fingerlings fed the control were higher (2.43~c 0.12g) compared to fish fed 30%, 60% and 90% poultry offal inclusion of Hsh meal (1.99~c 0.08g, 1.84~c0.06g and 1.14~c 0.20g, respectively), but there was no significance difference (P~〈 0.05) in weight gain of fish. There was no significant variation in feed conversion ratios which varied between 0.46~c 0.12 and 0.53~c 0.20 for the control and 90% poultry offal respectively, obtained among the groups. Similarly, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio decreased as the level of poultry offal increased in the diet. It was concluded that the replacement of fish meal with chicken offal meal diet at 30% level will enhance growth performance of Clarias gariepinus

    Description: The effect of delay after slaughter on microbial quality, proximate composition and sensory scores of raw catfish, Clarias gariepinus was evaluated. A total of 52 live catfish (average weight 700.0~c7.0g) were used for the experiment. Ten freshly slaughtered fish samples each were selected for organoleptic assessment at 0, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-slaughter, while three fish samples each were selected for chemical and microbial analyses. Microbial load on fish samples increased significantly (P〈 0.05) with increase in length of delay after slaughter, LODAS. Bacteria isolated included Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus spp and Staphylococcus aureus. Percent protein and ash contents of fish samples increased with increasing LODAS, while moisture content decreased and lipid was not affected. It was observed that raw C. gariepinus retained most of its physical attributes up to 4 hours post-slaughter. These quality attributes except colour and odour of gills, deteriorated significantly (P 〈 0.05) at every successive four-hour post-slaughter interval. Significant negative correlation existed between LODAS and sensory quality of raw fish (eyes, r = -0.966, P 〈 0.05; gills, r = -0.980, P 〈 0.05; skin, r = -0.998, P 〈 0.01; and odour, r = -0.994, P 〈 0.01). This study established that quality of raw C. gariepinus deteriorated with increasing LODAS and that raw C. gariepinus was not totally unacceptable when delayed for 12 hours after slaughter at ambient temperatures.

    Description: The effect of zinc exposure evaluated during a four day exposure periods at 13.88ppm, 26.75ppm, 53.5ppm,107ppm and 214ppm to Clarias gariepinus sub-adults showed the 96h LC50 as 26.62ppm. The threshold value was 20.30ppm. The muscle of the exposed fish analyzed showed a significant decrease in all the major cations and anions (Na+, CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) at (p〈0.05). The research revealed that there was no total inhibition of uptake of the cations and anions and also that uptake of these metals, that is cations and anions (Na+,-CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) increased rapidly during the 24 hours and dropped at 48 hours and 72 hours and gradually increased at the end of 96 hours showing that it was time dependent. During exposure period, affected fish stood in upright position with their snouts above the water surface, gasping for air. Observation of the exposed fish showed that they were peeling of skin, increase in opercula movement, erratic swimming, quietness and finally death. This research therefore recommends that zinc should be applied appropriately at 26.30ppm to avoid death of fish, man and other aquatic organisms that are the chief consumer.

    Description: The study was conducted to determine the toxicity of unripe Ackee apple (Blighiasapida) fruit extract on catfish, Clarias gariepinus fingerlings using the 96-hour bioassay under laboratory condition. The LC50 was determined graphically as 3.00ppt. Mean mortality was 0, 40, 50, 70 and 80% in the concentrations of 0, 3.33, 3.47,3.60 and 3.73ppt. Statistical analysis of the results showed that there were significant differences (P〈0.05) on the effect of concentration. Mortality increased with increase in concentration of toxicant and duration of exposure. Clarias gariepinus showed erratic swimming pattern, loss of reflex which increased with increase in concentration. Histopathological changes were revealed in the gills, skin and heart of the fish. The gill structure was altered and there were moderate mucosal erosion. There were several lymphoid aggregations with fibrous connective tissue at the dermal and epidermal areas in the skin. The heart myofibre were diffusely disintegrated with edema between bundles.

    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: Greater proportion of the much needed rich animal protein and other essential nutrients for man's prolonged well-being, globally, is derived from fish. Three considered factors in production model for such aquaculture project include: the technology, suitable site for location of envisaged set up and market. While concerned and interested stakeholders can bring together the intelligentsia for such venture, the government can provide enabling environment, Noting that the adopted technology will consist of hardware (equipment and structures) and software (relevant human resource and globally accepted procedures), technology for the production of marine fish species can be assembled in Nigeria since there are engineers of various disciplines, fisheries researchers, fish farmers, hatchery operators, technologists, technicians, numerous marine and brackish water shell and finfishes and several kilometres of coastal area. There are industries that can fabricate various aspects of the facilities and equipment knowing fully well that corrosion free and non-toxic materials are a must for fish breeding operations. The challenge for regular power supply can be overcome by turning to alternative energy sources such as solar energy, or from sources such as gas, wind, or water, these being abundant in Nigeria. The first step in efforts to establish technology for the culture of marine fish in Nigeria and boost production in the face of dwindling production from the wild should be a review of literature and spirited efforts to adapt such for the nation. This paper focuses on success made so far in the culture of marine fish species in some parts of the world, and necessary steps to ensure their establishment in Nigeria.

    Description: Public health issues can he considered as those of direct importance to both producers and consumers of fish and include broader issues of food production, processing and delivery systems. As aquaculture assumes an expanding role in meeting consumer demands for fish and fishery products, it is natural that they meet safety and quality standards. Aquaculture is a growing industry in Nigeria and it has assumed commercial importance activity. This study was part of the project on epizootiological survey of pathogenic diseases of cultured fish species and is aimed at identifying ecto-parasite associated with cultured fish in Ogun State, Nigeria. The study which was carried out in 2012 covered fifty fish farm, spread across the three senatorial zones. Five pieces of fish were randomly picked from each farm surveyed. Participants observation and structured questionnaires were administered to fish farmers in order to gather information on source of fries, fish feeding and feed type, use of manure and its type, pond type, stocking density, pond hygiene, water source, frequency of changing water and history of diseases and mortalities of fish. Before the fish samples were collected, pond size and physicochemical water quality were assessed. Water test kits were used to measure parameters like iron, nitrate, alkalinity and ammonia. All the procedures for physicochemical water quality parameter analysis was done according to the manufacturer's instructions. Water pH was measured using a probe while dissolved oxygen and both water as well as air temperature were measured by using Hanna kit. All types of farms are included in the survey such as hatcheries, brood stock farms as well as grow out farms. The study revealed the spread of parasites across the senatorial zones. The most common encountered parasites were Trichodina sp, Gyrodactylus sp, Dactylogyrus sp and trematodes. The intensity of the parasites differed markedly.

    Description: The study surveyed the status of fish farming in Rivers State of Nigeria. Structured interview schedule questionnaires were used in sourcing information from 90 fish farmers randomly selected from nine local government area, with three local government each drawn from each agricultural zone of the state. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that majority (34.4%) of the fish farmers were male and between the age range of 41-50 years. 31.1% of fish farmers cultured their fish in concrete fish tanks. The total mean annual production of fishes were 41,000 metric tons, 38.9% of fish farmers practiced integrated fish farming, 72.2% of the farmers practice only fish production; 58.9% of farmers sourced their information from friends/fellow farmers. In terms of water supply, 40.0% of farmers sourced their water supply from borehole, 36.6% use tilapia species as their fingerlings, 38.9% of farmers sourced their fingerlings from government hatchery 15.2% of farmers indicated that they suffer loss of tilapia, 54.4% farmers use partial harvest, 92.6% of farmers indicated irregular electricity supply as a major constraints to fish production. In order to facilitate the efficient operation of fish farming in the study area, technical advice on pond construction and preparation, species selection and supply for stocking purposes and collection of relevant data on aquaculture will help in the improvement of fish farming in the study area.

    Description: Blood analysis is important in fish health investigation and may be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors. However difficulties exist in the use of blood analysis in the investigation of fish health due to the paucity of species specific, gender and age based reliable references. The current study therefore aims to determine some blood parameters in order to provide reliable references for dry season of the normal condition values of C. gariepinus, a widely cultured fish in Nigeria. This study involved random sampling of 900 C. gariepinus aged 4, 5 and 6 months from earthen pond for three years. Data obtained for blood parameters using standard method were analyzed using descriptive statistic, students'-test, one-way ANOVA level of significant set at p ~,0.05. Results showed the female had significantly (p ~,0.001) higher values than the males for each age bracket and the values increased sig nificantly (p 0~,.05) with increased in PCV. hemoglobin, RBC, WBC, total protein, potassium, sodium, Creatinine, ALT, AST and glucose. The females and males values at 4, 5 and 6 months old were PCV (32.14 ~c 0.19% vs 26.72 ~c 1.l2; 36.45 ~c 1.39% vs 32.33 ~c 1.46%; 40.83 ~c 0. 73% vs 35.01 ~c 0.08%.), total protein (3.98 ~c 0.16g/l vs 3.49 ~c 0.18g/l; 4.45 ~c 0.10g/l vs 4.33 ~c 0.04g/l). Lymphocytes, neutrophils, mono cytes and ESR values showed no stable trend in gender differences with increased age. In both the females and the males, lymphocytes decreased significantly (p ~,0.05) while neutrophils and monocytes increased significantly (p~,0.05) with increased age. ESR decreased significantly (P~, 0.05) in the males and non-significantly in the females with increase in age. It is hoped that these values obtained would serve as a reliable reference to enhance an appropriate intervention in the culture of C. gariepinus aged 4. 5 and 6 months in earthen pond which may be extrapolated for use in other culture systems.

    Description: An experimental greenhouse was constructed at the fish pond site of the Federal College of Freshwater Fisheries Technology, Baga using the freestanding design style. Air temperature, water temperature and evaporation readings were observed for two weeks. Temperature records in the green house ranged between 25-27~'C at 6am and 26-32~'C at 6pm while atmospheric temperature was observed between 22-25~'C at 6am and 24-28~'C at 6pm respectively. Evaporation rates were observed to be higher in the water trough placed outside than the one placed inside the greenhouse. Water depth dropped from 39.5cm to 34.5cm (i.e 9cm) and 39.5cm to 30.5cm (5cm) in the trough placed outside and inside the greenhouse respectively. From this experiment, water is connserved as a result of low evaporation rate and higher water temperatures are attainable in the greenhouse which is desirable in the extremely cold harmattan season in the arid zone of Nigeria.

    Description: This paper examines the major effects of climate charge on aquaculture, especially on the freshwater ecosytem. Aquaculture as established is not practiced evenly across the world. Therefore, the paper highlights the current aquaculture practices within the regions and across the different environments to ascertain the major effects of climate variations on the freshwater ecosystem and aquaculture practices in particular. The main elements of climate change that would impact on aquaculture produ ction, such as sea level and temperature rise, changes in monsoon patterns and extreme climatic events and water stress, among others were properly looked at and the reasons for their effects addressed. The different elements of climate change that are experienced in varying degrees can be either positive or negative or directly or indirectly, depending on the different culture systems that are practiced. It is in the process of our study that we brought out the complex attributes of climate change as it affects aquaculture productivity and the possible roles that the society can play to ameliorate the harsh effects of this ugly monstet; referred to as ”climate change and the consequent global warming trends.

    Description: The sealing capacity of latex sealant and Portland cement for the reclamatiOn of cracked concrete fish tanks was investigated for a period of three months. Concrete fish tanks (5m x 5m x lm) were divided into duplicate treatments (T1 and T2). The latex sealant was utilized in treatment 1 (T1) while Portland cement was utilized in treatment 2 (T2). The tanks were initially filled with water and the seepage rates were determined within five days and results showed that the rate of seepage was very high which led to the abandonment of the tanks. The surfaces of the tanks were cleaned thoroughly before the application of the sealant and cement. In Tl, the sealant was mixed in a ratio of 1:4:7 (sealant: water: cement) and applied with brush in two layers before the mortar was finally applied. The Portland cement was also mixed in a ratio of 1:3 (cement: plaster sand) and applied on the other two tanks in T2. The tanks were filled with water after curing for one week. The seepage rate determined in Tl was 4mm per day when the weather was clear (sunny) which may be as a result of water loss by evaporation while the seepage rate determined in T2 shows a continuous decrease of 12mm every 24 hours, irrespective of weather condition.

    Description: The Fish tank cage was designed and constructed as an ingenious innovation to boost cage culture and transform aquaculture in Nigeria and beyond. It consists of two major components. The first is a black 500 litre capacity plastic water storage tank which was perforated profusely (840 meshes/m2 on the body and 256 meshes/m2 at the bottom) to fashion out a meshed tank. The circular meshes on the body have a diameter of 12mm, and that of the bottom 8mm. The dead weight of the tank with cover and lock is 12.7kg. The height above ground is 104cm and circumference at the middle is 270cm, the thickness is 0.5cm. The second component is a 6 inches diameter PVC square ring, sealed to serve as an air tight device for buoyancy. Suspension rods passed through hangers on the tank cage were used to suspend the tank cage in the middle of the suspension ring. The tank cage has the properties of a good cage-durability, easy waterflow through, non-toxic predator proof and flood resistant. It can be used as a floating or submerged cage. It can hold up to 300 adult fishes. However, the stocking capacity for intensive farming will be determined by field trials.

    Description: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four (4) different production systems in Lagos and Ogun States of South Western Nigeria beetween December,2012 and May 2013 to determine the effect of Culture systems and management practices on prevalence of parasites in the gut of farmed catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Information on pond type, water source, feeding practices and general pond management were also gathered through administration of fish disease sample collection from Water for the examination of physicochemical parameters, was collected from 40 fish ponds comprising earthen, concrete, water recirculatory and poorly managed systems across the two (2) States. Temperature, pH and ammonia were monitored using the recommended range by FAO as standard. Also 160 live farmed catfish, 80 from each state, 20 from five different ponds of each system with a minimum of 4 live fish per system was collected, dissected and examined under the microscope for parasite load of the gut of C. gariepinus. The earthen, concrete and water recirculatory systems had good management practices compared to the poorly managed systems. The observed water physicochemical parameters in ponds with good management were within normal range. Five groups of parasites were observed; Protozoa (Eimeria spp), Cestodes (Bothriocephalus spp., Diphyllodium spp), Monogea (Enterogyrus spp), and copepods (Argasilus spp) and Nematodes (Procamallanus spp). Analysis of variance between location and System showed level of no significance (p〈 0.05). The interaction effect of location (State) and production system on parasite load of C. gariepinus also was not significant (p〉0.05). However interaction hetween Ogun and poorly managed system has the highest number of parasites (11.5), followed by Lagos (7.0). The systems with good management practice had low number of parasites with water recirculatory system recording the least number of parasites (0.5). Analysis of association between temperature, ammonia, and pH in all the cultured systems showed a significant level of correlation (p〈0.05). In this study, poorly managed systems especially where farmed fish received water directly from rivers and streams predispose fish to parasite infection of the gut. Good water quality management and proper fish husbandry techniques will eliminate most parasitic infection and improve on fish production.

    Description: The effects of feeding frequency on feed intake, growth and survival rates were determined in C. gariepinus. Twenty fish per tank (bowl) were stocked in triplicate. They were fed once (1D), thrice (3D) and five times daily (5D) respectively. The 5D group growth rates were observed significantly different (P〈 0.05) from fish fed on 1 (1D) and (3D) feeding frequency. All the treatments containing 1D, 3D and 5D were observed to have significant difference (P〉 0.05) in terms of final weight (FW). There was also a noticeable increased trend in final weight (5D 〉 3D 〉 7D). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 3D and 5D treatments were higher than 1 D) treatment (P〈 0.05). According to the results, feeding C. gariepinus 1 time daily (1D) did not influence the growth; however, 5 times daily reduced mortality and improved the feed conversion ratio (FCR) of C. gariepinus.

    Description: The effect of climate change on the aquatic environment has been well documented with results detailing increase in green house gases and global temperature. Water quantity and quality for aquaculture is also affected by this global phenomenon. Increasing global temperatures affects many sectors in an ecosystem. Water use in aquaculture can be in-situ or ex-situ. Groundwater is expected to be recharged if climate change leads to increased rainfall and runoff but empirical evidence suggests otherwise. The sustainability of groundwater for aquaculture is therefore threatened. Increased temperatures of surface waters can affect water quality and suitability for use in aquaculture with attendant biofouling and growth of thermophilic algae. Rainwater is affected by human activities and pollution as well as materials used for its collection. It is usually low in pH and will need to be buffered. The use of water from any source as well as the use of water bodies for aquaculture must be done with regular analysis of parameters since climate change is an ongoing process.

    Description: Starting an aquaculture business in Nigeria requires a good understanding of the industry. Small aquaculture ventures cannot compete effectively in the present scenario where large farms are springing up in the urban areas of Nigeria. The export market for aquaculture products has not been fully exploited. The export of smoked fish to the United Kingdom has been ongoing and expanding, but it is meant to serve the African community in the UK. The bane of the aquaculture industry lies in the small nature of most of the enterprises. Nigeria has no specific legislation on aquaculture hence the idea of a National Aquaculture Strategic Initiative is a welcome development.

    Description: Fishery production is significant to Nigerian economy in view of its roles in providing cheap source of food/nutrition security, income, employment, serves as source of foreign exchange, particularly those of the riparian communities. Despite these significant roles, fisheries subsector is faced with huge challenges, such as: decreasing yield, inefficient management of fishing policy, inadequate technological and commercial knowledge among others, thereby limiting its production potentials. The possibility of fish production especially artisanal fisheries to match up with fish productivity in the economy depends on fishing operation, efficient use of laboour, sustainable and efficient management of fishing policy. Therefore the essence of this study is to review the challenges in fish production in Nigeria, Economic perspective, with emphasis on the role of fisheries in economic development, decreasing fish yield, market forces and resource inefficiency.

    Description: Climate change has the potential to severely impact coastal and inland environments and ecosystems, and by extension fisheries and aquaculture. Coastal regions of the world are already experiencing flooding due to rise in sea level. In recent times, salinization of coastal areas due to flooding from storm surges and high tidal influence has been observed. Aquaculture is a fast growing agri-business venture in Nigeria presently and many coastal communities derive their livelihood from it. The culture of freshwater fish species that are very sensitive to high salinity may be threatened leading to mortality of stocked fish and loss of livelihood for coastal population. Consequently, there is urgent need for development and domestication of the Silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus that can tolerate higher salinity more than Mudcatfish (Clarias gariepinus). This will help mitigate the impact of salinization of coastal areas arising from sea water flooding on culture of fresh water fish species.

    Description: The effects of Goldcrew, a chemical dispersant commonly used in crude oil spill incident, to alter interactions between the components of the crude and the biota in the ecosystem, were studied. We used a static renewal bioassay to study its effects on Bonny light crude using the tilapia, 0. niloticus at various concentrations for 50 days. A control experiment was also set up. The exposure concentration of the water accommodated fractions (WAF) of the mixture of the dispersant and Bonny Light crude, dispersed crude (DCOWAF-PAH) and the WAF of Bonny Light alone (COWAF-FIH) were 0.2,0.4,0.8 and 1.6m/L respectively. The mortalities of the fingerlings in different concentrations of the DCOWAF-PAH were 66.7%, 23.3%, 86.75% and 100% in the 0.2. 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6m/L exposure centrations respectively. At these concentrations, mortality was significantly different (P〈0.05) between the fingergerlings and fry, with a total mortality of 69.2% among the fingerlings, while the fry had 5.8% mortality in the 0.8 and 1.6ml/L concentrations with 13.3% 10.0% respectively but the differences were not statistically significant (p〈0.05). There was no mortality in the concentrations of COWAF- PAH. It can be said that Bonny Light was made more toxic to 0. niloticus by the presence of the dispersant; increased the susceptibility of the fingerlings to the mixture of crude and dispersant and influenced the behavior of the fish. There is therefore need to apply dispersants with caution especially around fish breeding and nursery ground.

The toxicant led to depressed weight gain in the fish. Severity of this depression was directly proportional to the toxicant concentrations. However, there was no difference (p〉0.05) in weight gain in test fish of various concentrations. Restlessness, loss of balance, erratic swimming behavior, respiratory distress, vertical movement and death, were observed in test media especially in the concentrations 60.0 and 50.0~Kl/L of formalin. Such observation were not recorded in the control tanks.

    Description: The sub-lethal effect of glyphosate on behavior and some biochemical parameters of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus were investigated using static renewal bioassays and continuous aeration for a period of 28 days using varying concentrations (100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm, 400ppm and 500ppm). During the exposure period, the fish showed different abnormal behaviours such as restlessness, loss of balance, respiratory distress, grouping together, darting movements, loss of equilibrium, mucous secretion and erratic swimming. At the end of the experiments, the fish were sacrificed and the blood samples were collected. The gill and liver of the fish were removed from biochemical bioassay. Compared with the control, the result showed a significant increase (P〈0.05) in the activities of alanine amino transferase (ALT), and aspartate amino transferase (AST), in both the blood and the gill of exposed fish except in liver where it showed a significant reduction. However the values of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), showed significant increase in the blood with a noticeable decrease in both the gill and liver of exposed fish. The study showed that sub-lethal concentratiom of glyphosate are harmful to Clarias gariepinus. This study shows that sub-lethal concentrations of glyphosate is harmful to Claria gariepinus. The implication of these results in rational exploitation and conservation of fishery resources and the public health risk consuming glyphosate-exposed to fish are highlighted.

    Description: The impact of anthropogenic activities on chemical and nutrient characteristics of selected wetlands in Moyamba and Bo districts was investigated. Water and sediments samples for nutrient and trace metal analysis were collected for two seasons (wet and dry) at sampling sites. Anthropogenic activities such as industrial effuent, domestic and agricultural waste disposal constitute major sources of wetland pollution in the selected districts. Samples of water and soil were analyzed for metals (Cr, Co, Cd, Ni, Pb, Mg, Mn, Fe, C1 and Zn) and nutrients (Ca, K, P and Na) levels were determined and their seasonal variations were compared at (p〉0.05) significant levels. Physico-chemical parameters such as Temperature, Dissolved oxygen, Ammonia, Nitrate, pH, general hardness, total alkalinity were also measured. Fe was the most concentrated metal in water (mean range 15.93 ~c 1.51 to 33.65 ~c 7.79mg/l) and in sediment (15748 ~c 3526 to 107702 ~c 84038 mg/1), while Cr and Mg were the least concentrated (0.34 ~c 0.14 to 0.53 ~c 0.09mg/l) and (0.07 ~c 0.01 to 0.22 ~c 08 mg/1) respectively. Generally, trace meta levels in sediment of the study area were relatively higher than tht concentration in water. Na was the most concentrated nutrient in both water and sediment, while calcium has the least. Calcium plays an important role in blood clotting, muscular contractions and in some enzymatic processes and as such its level in the studied wetland must be augmented. Accumulations of metals in the environmental matrices are ecologically undesirable as they pose threats to man who is the end user of the values of wetland ecosystems and consequently the need for policy intervention in the effective management of both domestic and industrial wastes.

    Description: Tilapia is the second leading aquatic crop globally, next to carps and its production has increased tremendously within the last decade. Its production is however affected by stunting, a phenomenon brought about by overpopulation due to precocious reproduction under mixed sex culture system. Several methods such as use of predatory fish, hybridization, polyploidy and sex reversal, using methyl testosterone have been employed w1th different degrees of success. This paper reviews the use of methyl testosterone in sex reversal of tilapia and its consequent effects on fish, man and environment. It established the preference of all-male tilapia due to better and more uniform growth under culture system. It has been demonstrated that the hormone does not have any adverse effect on fish flesh after cessation of treatment of tilapia fry. In like manner; ingestion of fish produced by sex reversal does not therefore harm man. However,one is not too sure of the effect of the hormone or its by- products on vital organs (liver, kidney, pancreas and gills), metabolic profile and nucleic acids. This may also affect muscle building and perceived libido-enhancement in man. On the environment, the steroid is either biodegraded or mineralized. It must be stated that escapee from tilapia hatchery into the natural water may, however, alter the dynamics of the environment due to unforeseen consequences.

    Description: The 2661 specimens of the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus L. used for this study, were collected from high brackish lagoon in southwest Nigeria for 24 months. The size of the 2661 specimens of M. cephalus used for this study ranged from 1.7- 29.5cm standard length (total lenght 1.9 to 39.0cm). The sex ratio for M. cephalus was 1:0.53 and this showed a statistically significant (p〈0.05) dominance of the male over the females for the size range. The fecundity estimates varied from 635,568- 1,520,185 and was positively correlated to the fish and weight. Oocyte diameter averaged 409.64 ~c 40.67pm and this is indicative of an early stage of gonad maturation of the specimens in the lagoon before final spawning occurred. The GSI indicated that spawning activity occurred from December to May in the open ocean.

    Description: The growth pattern and condition factor (K) of 810 Lagoon crabs (Callinectes amnicola) fouled with Barnacles (Chelonibia patula), collected from Makoko Jetty, off Lagos Lagoon between April-September 2011 were studied. The carapace length f C. amnicola examined ranged from 3.8cm-8.6cm while the carapare width ranged from 9.5cm-15.4cm. The total weight ranged from 53.1g to 165.0g, indicating that increase in length correspond to increase in weight, thereby suggested that C. amnicola from Lagos Lagoon exhibited a negative allometric growth. The correlated coefficient 'r' for the crabs was 0.68, showing a low correlation between carapace length weight in the lagoon crabs fouled with barnacles. The condition factor (K) values of C. amnicola fouled with barnacles ranged from 3.2-9.7 with a mean value of 5.4. The highest K-value was recorded for the size group 3.5-4.4. The value decreased with increased length of C. ammcola. The sex ratio (1:80) indicated that there were more females (98.8%) than males (1.2%), 12 (1.5%) of the 810 lagoon crabs examined were heavily fouled with barnacles distributed all over the points of attachment with the cora having the most attachment (91.6 6%). Average diameter of the barnacles attached to the crabs ranged from 0.23cm to 1.85cm. The distribution shows that large-sized crabs had much banacles attached to them than small-sized crabs, with greater barnacles found in the females than in the males.

    Description: The study identified the perception of fish farmers in Oyo State to climate change as well as the adaptation strategies used by them. A two stage stratified sampling method was used to select 156 fish farmers from the four Agriculture Development Programme (ADP) zones and eight local government areas (LGAs) in Oyo State. Structured questionnaires were administered to the fish farmers. Descriptive statistic and linear regression were used to analyses data collected. The result shows that majority were males (84.0%\}, dominant age (66.0%) were within the age bracket of 46-65 years. The farmers are literate as 46.8% have attained secondary education, 69.9% had above six years of experience in fish farming experience and 97.5% were engaged in culturing catfish Clarias spp. The highest portion (70.5%) earns less than N500,000 as income from fish sale. Due to effect of climate change on fish production in the study area, fish farmers reported different types of adaptation strategies. Result of the linear regression analysis indicates that there is a significant (p〈0.05) negative effect of household size and years of fish farming experience and significant (p〈0.1) positive effect of age on farmers' perception of climate change on fish production.

    Description: A survey of the fish processing practices of the fishing settlement around Jabi lake area in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was conducted. The main purpose of constructing the reservoir is to serve as the main source of water supply to the FCT, fishing and fish processing became prominent. Fishermen are recording very low fish catch and the level of hygiene in fish handling practices is very low. The processors are majorly involved in smoking and frying which is dominated by 79% of middle aged young men whereas, 21% are women. The scale of fish processing in Jabi Lake area is still at the subsistence level. Furthermore, the processors do not package the processed fish products, rather they gather them in baskets and plastic bowls. FCT resideents usually procurelive and smoked fish from Kado fish market.

    Description: Effect of spices on the chemical properties of hot-smoked catfish (C.gariepinus) was examined. The experimental design was complete randomized design (CRD) with the treatments been the variously spiced hot-smoked catfish (garlic, ginger, garlic-ginger homogenate spiced and the control without spices). Proximate and mineral content analyses were carried out using standard experimental procedures. There exist significant differences (p〈0.05) in the percentage moisture and crude protein content with smoked catfish without spices having the highest moisture content with mean value 6.18 ~c 0.13 and 79.44 ~c 0.13 respectively which could be as a result of the increase in the fibre content of the spiced fish products which is a function of fibre content of the spices applied to the fish products. Similar trend was also observed for the lipid and ash contents the fish products. There exist significant differences (p〈0.05) in the mineral content preseent in the various fish products with the exception of magnesium. The products are rich in calcium and other minerals with garlic-ginger homogenate spiced product having the highest level of calcium (0.980 ~c 0.02).

    Description: A study was conducted on the old NIFFR smoking kiln in order to improve on it. The parameters used to determine the smoking efficiency include the loss in weight of the fish samples, temperature and the time taken to properly smoke the fish using fire wood as smoking fuel. The smoking kiln was tested by smoking three different species of fish: Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromies niloticus, Synodontis membranecious over a period of two hours. The modified smoking kiln was discovered to perform faster. Its advantage over the already existing one is that it is faster in smoking fish to a regular golden brown colour. The temperature of the heat supplied was quite higher about 100~'C to 120~'C than the commonly used drum oven. The smoking kiln has the average oroduction cost of No.90,000.

    Description: The acute toxicity and the effect of sub-lethal concentrations of calcium carbonate on the morphology of M. macrobrachion were investigated under laboratory conditions. The prawns were exposed at 0, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560 and 5120 mg/l of CaCO3 using static renewal bioassay for 96 hours for the acute toxicity test. The prawns were also exposed for the chronic test at 0, 20.0, 40.0, and 80.0 mg/1 for a period of two weeks. Mortality occurred in the bioassay tanks at random and the bioassays were monitored throughout the exposure period. Results showed that exposed prawns were not significantly impacted when compared with the control group and correlations were significant at P〈0.05. There were no mortalities in the tanks with the highest concentrations while one death was recorded in the control tank and in the tank with the 160 and 320mg/1 of CaCO3 respectively. The gills of exposed prawns were analyzed using photomicrography and the results showed that the organs had their normal morphological status after the exposure time, implying that CaCO3 is non-toxic to M. macrobrachion. The applications of the result to prawn culture and water quality management were discussed in details.

    Description: Fish farming as an economic activity in Nigeria is predominantly an extensive land based system practiced at subsistence level in water. The socio-economic analysis of fish farming in Ogun State, South-Western Nigeria was carried out using data collected from sixty randomly selected fish farms. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, costs and returns, as well as regression analysis. The relationship between fish output and five inputs: feed, fertilizer, lime, labour and fingerlings were measured using Cobb-Dou production model. Results suggest that a unit increase in feed application contributed 68 percent increase to the profitability of the farms and this was significant at p〈0.1. Also, fertilizer was significant at p〈0.05, the results suggest that a unit increase in fertilizer application contributed 5l percent increase to the profitability of the fish farms. The model explained 79% of the variation in total output. On the whole, fish farming was found to be profitable with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.23 and the rate of return on investment is 0.19. It is recommended that fish farmers in the study area should increase their use of feed, lime and fingerlings and decrease their use of fertilizer and labour. Socio-economic characteristics of fish farmers showed that most of them were males, married and middle aged with formal education.

    Description: Completely randomized design with duplicate groups were used to study the growth performance of 400 fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus in 2m x 2m x 1m concrete tanks in an out-door hatchery complex of National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR), New Bussa, Niger State, Nigeria. Graded levels (0, 1,2,3 or 4) % of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was included into a 40% crude protein (C.P) NIFFR floating basal diet and fed to Clarias gariepinus in tanks for 16 weeks and 35% in the last 4 weeks. This was to determine the optimum level of supplemental yeast inclusion as a floater additive into diets of C. gariepinus and to quantify feed and its cost for raising a kilogram of the fish fed diets. The experiment was geared towards development of cost effective standard floating feed for Clarias gariepinus. There was no significant difference in weight gain (WG), feed consumed (FC), specific growth rate (SGR), survival, cost of feed consumed (CFC) and palatability test of flesh (P〉0.05) except FCR (P〈0.05) and feed cost per kilogram of fish (P〈0.05) at the end of 8 and 20 weeks. There was no histopathological defect observed on the fish and fish carcass. It was concluded that 2% or 1 % level of yeast can be included in NIFFR floating feed with the assurance of producing a kilogram of C. gariepinus with a feed of N300.00 under good management practices based on ingredient ruling price at the time of this study and this might be capable of increasing farmer's income in fish production.

    Description: A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of biscuit waste meal on the growth performance and utilization of Clarias gariepinus juveniles. A total of 300 juveniles of average weight 8.85g were randomly divided into 5 Treatments, each with three replicates. Twenty juveniles were distributed into fifteen happas (0.7m3) and each happa was suspended to 3/4 of its volume using kuralon ropes carefully tied round the bamboo poles across the concrete tanks. Five diets containing 40% crude protein were formulated in which maize was replaced with biscuit waste meal at Treatment diet 1 (TD1) 0%, 25% (TD2), 50% (TD3), 75% (TD4), 100% (TD5) levels.The juveniles were fed at 3% body weight per day for 10 weeks. It was recorded at the end of the experiment that biscuit waste was most suitable as an energy supplement when incorporated at 25% replacement (TD2) with maize. TD1 had the highest weight gain followed by TD2, TD3, TD4 and TD5 respectively. There were no significant differences (P〉0.05) in the growth response in TD1 (0%), T0D (25%) and TD3 (50%). It is therefore concluded that biscuit waste meal is a cheap source of non conventional energy source which can be used favorably to replace maize (25% inclusion level) as an energy source in the diets of Clarias gariepinus.

    Description: This study was conducted to determine the effects of dichlorvos ~9 2, 2 - dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP)~0 on the growth of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. The experiment was conducted in two phases: the first phase involved the exposure of the fish to different concentrations ~9 0.00 (control), 0.4ppm, 0.5ppm, 0.6ppm, 0.7ppm, 0.8ppm, 0.9ppm, 1.0ppm, 1.1 ppm and 1.2ppm~0 of dichlorvos for four days. The second phase was a recovery process in which the fish that survived from the first phase were introduced into clean, dechlorinated, toxicant-free water and were fed at 3% of their body weight for 12 weeks. The change in weight was measured every fortnight and the feed fed was adjusted to accommodate the change in weight. The highest values for weight gain, percentage weight gain, specific growth rate and average daily weight gain occurred in the control and these values were significantly (p〈0.05) higher than the values of these parameters recorded in the other treatments. The range of values of weight gain, percentage weight gain, specific growth rate and average daily weight gain are 6.76 ~c 3.01-18.45 ~c 8.90g, 69.45 ~c 18.52 - 105.52 ~c 33.67%, 1.54 ~c 0.33 - 2.08 ~c 0.46%/day and 0.48 ~c 0.21 - 1.21 ~c 0.65g respectively. Based on the results of this study, the exposure of fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus to dichlorvos ~9 2, 2- dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP)~0 affected the growth of the fish. Therefore, the use of dichlorvos on stored grains should be regulated because uncontrolled usage could cause mortality and impairment of growth in fish if the pesticide gets washed into water bodies inhabited by fish.

    Description: The study investigated the acute toxicity of 2, 3-dicholrovinyl dimethyl phosphate (Sniper 1000EC) on the African mud catfish, Clarias gariepinus juveniles (mean weight 19.47 ~c 1.05g) using static bioassay method. Sniper 1000EC is an organophosphate pesticide. Each treatment in the acute test was in triplicate with bioassay media concentration of 0,5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/l. Data on mortalities of fish, water physic-chemical parameters as well as changes in haematological indices were subjected to one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% probability level. Duncan multiple range test was used to separate differences between the means. The 96hr LC50 estimated by probit analysis during the exposure was found to be 8.20mg/l. Behavioural abnormalities of the exposed fish included erratic and uncoordinated swimming and bleached skin with lesion at the highest concentration (20mg/l). Blood dyscrasias attributable to the toxicant was observed with a significant (p〈0.05) decrease in haemoglobin, haematocrit, red blood cells, white blood cells, lymphocytes and monocytes. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), neutrophils, eosinophil and basophil increased significantly (p〈0.05) with increasing concentrations of the toxicant. These abnormalities in body and blood parameters as a result of exposure to the toxicant make the study to recommend that the use of Sniper 1000EC by local fishermen be banned to preserve aquatic lives in Nigerian inland water bodies.

    Description: Twelve weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of different dietary lipid sources on the hematological changes in Clarias gariepinus juveniles. Six (6) iso-nitroginous diets were formulated at 45% CP and fed to triplicate groups of 15 juveniles. The feed contained (Palm Seed Oil (PSO), Ugwu Seed (USO), Soya Bean Oil (SBO), Almond Seed Oil (ASO), Mixture Of All the vegetable oil + the fish oil (MOA) and Cod Liver Oil (CLO) which is the control. The oils were added at 5% inclusion level respectively. Fish of mean weight 22.83 ~c 0.30g were fed these experimental diets in triplicate groups. The hematological analyses of fish showed that red blood cell, white blood cell, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR), Mean cell volume (MCV), Mean cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and packed cell volume were not significantly different (p〈0.05), but haemoglobin concentration and Mean cell haemologlobin concentration (MCHC) were significantly different (p〉0.05). The present study showed that PSO, USO, ASO, SBO and MOA can effectively replace cod liver oil without compromising the health of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus.

The latency period observed in treatments 1 to 4 was 4hours 30minutes while the ovulation period in treatment 5 was 8 hours. There was no significant different (P〉0.05) among the means. The brood stocks in Treatment 2 (Root) has the highest fecundity count (2001) while those in Treatment 5 (control) has the least fecundity count (1496). The phytochemical analysis of the plant materials showed the presence of Alkaloids, Tannin, Phenol, Glycoside, Flavonoids, Steroids, Phlobatannin, Saponin, Anthraquinones. The physical and chemical parameters of water observed showed that dissolved oxygen value ranges from 3.28 -4.60, pH 6.5 - 8.5, temperature 28.0 - 28.8 and conductivity 8.9 - 9.20. It is therefore concluded that the inclusion of Terminalia suparba in the feed of Clarias gariepinus broodstock will not only improve ovulation but also reduce the latency period.

    Description: The study was conducted to evaluate and compare the growth performance of catfish fry on fermented maize broth and cassava waste water. Four day old fry (weight range 0.002 - 0.003g) of C. gariepinus were acclimatized in 10 litres glass tank of water for 5 days in Aquaculture Department of Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Victoria Island, Lagos. Shell free artemia was mixed with Fermented Maize Both (FMB), Fermented Cassava Waste water (FWC) and bore hole water (control) respectively. The artemia mixtures were allowed to air-dry before administration. The treatments were produced in triplicates, feeding, ad-libitium for 30 days. The fry were fed with the treated shell free artemia and weighed every 6 days. The results revealed that fry fed fermented cassava waste water [FCW] diet showed highest mean weight, daily growth rate [DGR], survival rate and specific growth rate [SGR] and lowest food conversion ratio (FCR). This was followed by fermented maize broth while fish fed artemia mixed with borehole water-had the least growth. The results suggest that addition of fermented cassava waste water to shell free artemia can enhance fish growth in catfish hatchery production.

    Description: Application of genetic manipulation techniques on cultured fish have been employed in developed economies to increase food fish yield. In this study, a simple and safe biotechnology genetic manipulation technique was applied to produce triploid African giant catfish (Clarias gariepiirus Burchell 1822) larvae .Eggs numbering 100~c10 in quadruplicates from C. gariepinus were activated by milt from the same species and were subsequently transferred to a thermoregulated refrigerator maintained at 2degreesC for 20 min to suppress cell division, starting at 4 min after activation. Haploid larvae were produced by activating eggs with UV irradiated milt at 30000 uWcm-2 for 15 min. Fertility, hatchability and survival after one week for triploids were 82.5%, 69.8% and 61.3% against haploid and diploid controls, 100%, 15%, 0% and 100%,93%, 91 % (p 〈 0.05) respectively. Ploidy levels of the embryos cytogenetically were evaluated in day-old posthatched embryos incubated in 0.02% colchicine for 2-4 h. Head and yolk sac were discarded in 0.9% NaCl while remaining fragments were later treated with hypotonic solutions of distilled water for 5 min, and subsequently with diluted catfish serum 1: 4 for 25 min. Cells were fixed with 1:3 acetic acid ethanol mixture. Slide with the chromosome spreads were then stained with 20% Giemsa in phosphate buffered solution. Chromosome numbers obtained were 28~c2, 56~c2, and 75~c2 for haploid control, diploid control and triploid treatments respectively. Using a simple biotechnology technique as above, triploid C. gariepinus larvae were produced in the present study. The potential application on food fish security of triploid catfish in aquaculture especially in Nigeria is discussed.

    Description: Proximate composition and sensory evaluation of Africa catfish Clarias gariepinus harvested from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow - through system and Flow Rivers were determined. Chemical assessment was based on the method of analysis of the Association of Official Analysis (AOAC). The samples collected shows moisture content 71.71~c1.65%, 74.20~c1.39, 73.60~c2.3% and 72.29~c68% from earthen ponds, reservoirs, and tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. The crude protein 9.77~c2.66%, 20.99~c0.68, 19.80~c0.53% and 18.84~c1.00% from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. There was no significant difference (p〉0.05) among the means recorded and the locations where the fish samples were collected has no effect on the value of the moisture and the crude protein content of the fish samples when compared. Crude fat contents 5. 68~c0. 81 %, 4.95~c0.38%, 3.85~c0.56% and 1.35~c0. 29%from reservoir system, low through system, earthen ponds, and rivers respectively. Ash content of the fish samples were 1.52~c0.40%, 1.49~c0.40%, 2.23~c0.91 % and 1.47~c0. 60% from earthen ponds, reservoir system, tank flow- through system and rivers respectively. There was a significant difference (p 〈0.05) among the means of the crude fat contents and ash contents. The location where the fish samples were collected influenced the means of the ash content and the crude fat contents. The taste, odour, appearance and texture were the indices for the evaluation. Fish from rivers were most preferred followed by earthen ponds, reservoirs system and tank flow- through system respectively.

    Description: A total of 140 fish samples of Clarias gariepinus comprising of 20 fry from two hatcheries, 60 fingerlings and 60 adults reared under the water recirculating, water flow-through and the earthen pond culture systems, were clinically examined for presence of ecto-parasites on the skin and the gills. The ectoparasitic fauna observed comprises of 3 protozoans including Trichodina sp, Costia sp and Epistilis sp, and 4 metazoans of which 3 are monogenetic trematodes including Gyrodactylus sp, Dactylogyrus sp and Cleidodiscus sp. The fourth metazoan is a leech; Piscicola sp. Infestation due to Trichodina sp and the monogenetic trematodes were observed in all developmental stages of C. gariepinus and under all the culture systems studied. The highest incidence rate of 100% Trichodina sp infestation was observed on both the skin and the gills of the fingerling stage. The highest parasitic load of 10 organisms per field was also observed on the skin of the fingerlings reared in the earthen pond. Infestation due to monogenetic trematodes was observed to be highest (70%) on the skin of fingerlings reared under the water flow through system, while in the earthen pond system, the incidence rate of 60% was observed for both the fingerlings and the adult fish. Costia sp was observed in all the 3 culture, s;ystems, with the highest incidence of 50% and parasitic load of 2. 5 organisms per field recorded on both the fry and the skin of the fingerlings reared in earthen pond. The incidence of Epistilis sp infestation on the gills of catfish fingerlings reared in the water recirculating system was observed to be low (5%), while Piscicola sp infestation was observed only on the skin of adult C. gariepinus at an incidence rate of 35%, but with a high worm burden of 15 organisms per fish. The fingerlings seem to be more susceptible to Trichodina sp and the monogenetic trematodes, especially under the earthen pond culture system. Catfish hatcheries, especially those producing fingerlings in the earthen ponds must ensure adequate and efficient hygiene practices. They may also need to disinfect their stock appropriately at harvest, prior to distribution to farmers to avoid spread of para sites.

    Description: This paper reports detection of coccidia oocyst from twenty five Clarias gariepinus raised in plastic tanks in Sabon Gari, LGA in Kaduna State. Using simple floatation technique, oocysts were recovered from the intestinal content and gills of Clarias gariepinus. Oocyst number varied from 9 -15 oocysts per slide viewed at x 10 optical magnification of the microscope with the intestines having the highest occurrence. The fish were anorexic and lethargic and post-mortem examination of the dissected fish revealed little or no abdominal fat, pale gills and haemorrhages in the gastrointestinal tract. Forty- eight percent of the examined fish were positive for oocyst. The oocyst was detected more in fish specimen weighing between 240g-300g (58.3%) and length ranging from 28.3cm-30.3cm (66. 7%). The Fulton's condition factor of the infected fish was lower than the uninfected fish. The findings indicate that intestinal Coccidiosis may pose significant health problems in fish; management practices and biosecurity protocols need to be improved.

    Description: The study was carried out to determine the effect of light and dark exposures on the growth response of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. A total of 120 four-week old Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (mean weight 0.52g~c0.02) were stocked into 20 litres of bore-hole water in glass aquarium (60x30x30) cm. Complete light, dark and normal photo periods were the experimental conditions evaluated. Growth indices such as mean weight gain and mean increase in standard lengths were significantly (p〈0. 05) highest in the dark exposure with the following values respectively: (4.19 ~c 0.02g) and (4.11 ~c 0.19cm). Also, percentage survival (82.5%) in the dark exposure was higher than light and control (45% and 70% respectively). Light exposure had higher cannibalism rate (42.5%) than the dark and control (0% and 5 % respectively). Deep shiny black skin colouration was observed among the fingerlings in the dark exposure, while those in the light and control experimental conditions exhibited lighter and normal skin colourations respectively. The experimental conditions were not influenced by the water quality parameters (mean pH: 8~c 0.1 and temp: 28.1 ~c 0.60 ~'C) since their values were within the tolerable limit for fish culture throughout the 42 days experimental period.

    Description: Six diets were produced using graded levels of banana peels (5 %, 10 % and 15 % for both ripe and unripe banana peels) which were compared with the controlled diet containing maize in the diet of C. gariepinus juveniles. Feeds were fed to triplicate groups of ten fish each to satiation twice daily for ten weeks. There were significant differences (p 〈 0.05) in Mean Weight Gain (MWG) and Specific Growth Rate (SGR) amongst the experimental diets. The control diet had the highest MWG (58.40~c 5.27g) and SGR (1.877~c 0.09 %) while the least values of MWG (25.03 g) and SGR (0.35 %) were recorded in Diet 3(15 % unripe banana peels). The Feed conversion ratio, Protein efficiency ratio and Protein intake recorded significant differences (P 〈 0.05) between the control and the experimental diets. Similarly, significant differences (P 〈 0.05) were recorded in Profit Index, Incidence of Cost and Economic Investment Cost Analysis between the control and experimental diets. Histometry analysis of fish organs equality recorded significant differences (P 〈 0.05) between the control and other test diets. Although the Control diet had the best growth performance, it recorded the least profit index (1.87) while Diet 2 (10 % ripe banana) had the highest Profit Index (3.11). Hence, graded levels of plantain peel is a profitable alternative energy source for partial replacement of maize up to 10 % ripe and unripe banana peels in diet of C. gariepinus.

    Description: The catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is the leading aquatic crop in Nigeria. Most of the strains used in aquaculture are suffering from in-breeding depression with its attendant poor egg and sperm quality. There is therefore the need to explore the natural population of the fish to improve performance. This study was carried out to evaluate the growth performance of strains of the catfish across the fresh water systems of Nigeria. Collections were made from the six geopolitical zones namely: North-Central (Kogi), Northeast (Adamawa), Northwest (Kebbi), South-West (Oyo), Southeast (Anambra), South-South (Delta) and domesticated strain obtained from Lagos. The fish were bred in the wet laboratory of the Department of Fish Technology/Biotechnology of the Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Lagos and fed for 12 weeks before subjected to growth study. The study involved allocation of 25 juveniles of each strain in lm hapas installed in a 0.4 ha at Badore fish farm, Lagos, Nigeria,fed 3% body weight twice daily while sampling forth-nightly. The results showed that the domesticated strain of C. gariepinus performed significantly better (a=0.05) than the six wild strains studied. This may be attributable to selective breeding which probably had been carried out by the farmers from which the broodstocks were purchased and mixture of the gene pool of improved Dutch strain commonly cultured. There was however no significant variation in the SGR and FCR among the strain. However, the growth study showed that the strain from North-West (Kebbi) did not perform as much as other strains in terms of these growth indices. Hoewever, it had the highest survival (96%). The strains from Oyo and Anambra however showed better growth over the rest strains from the wild. The implication of the breeding potentials of C. geriepinus strains from Kebbi, Oyo and Anambra is that if several selective breeding of these strains are carried out and the gene pool of Kebhi is combined with any of these two, we are likely to obtain fish seed of better growth and survival.

    Description: Climate change will have significant impacts on Nigeria's freshwater and marine aquatic systems. and hence on the countries fisheries and aquaculture. Fisheries and aquaculture are highly vulnerable to changes in weather pattern. and the impacts, which could be negative or positive, will vary from the coastal areas to the drier northern parts of the country. Elevated water temperalures will affect fish physiological processes, thereby affecting spawning. survival of the juveniles, recruit into the exploitable phase of population, population size, production and yield. The impacts of increased flooding of the freswater bodies will be negative through erosion of watershed, destruction of fish feeding and breeding habitats, decrease in primary productivity and alteration of the normal resilience of the aquatic systems, or positive in expansion of aquatic habitats for primary and fish productions especially during the dry season. Drought will exacerbate draw down of the lakes and reservoirs, and insufficient flow in the river hasins for spawning and primary pro duction thereby affecting fish production. Rise in the water level of the Atlantic ocean will lead to intrusion of more salty wafer into The river delta areas, and inundation of the coastal low-lying areas, thus affecting distribution of both the freshwater and marine fishes as a result of changes in the physical and chemical properties of the waters. The impacts will ultimately affect fish population, production and supply, thereby affecting the livelihood of over 26 million people engaged in the primary and secondary sectors of the fisheries industry, as well as food security of the country. The adaptation and mitigation strategies will be based on the peculiar characteristics and interactions of fisheries and aquaculture within the framework of feasible policy instruments. Strategies and policy measures need to be evolved to combat the observable and projected impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture, in order to protect the livelihoods of the fishing communities and food security.

    Description: Benefit related relationship among the artisanal fisher folks of Tomho, a fishing community in Western Rural District of Sierra Leone was studied. The study was carried out to ascertain the socioeconomic activities of the target group, their level of involvement and reasons for going into transactional sexual activities. Eighty (80) structured questionnaires were administered to randomly selected fishermen and people engaged in fish related activities and this was backed up hy the record of HIV cases especially among women at tht Tombo Community Health Centre. Data collected from the interview were treated using measure of central tendency such mean and percentages and results are presented in tables and charts. Respondents age ranged between 15-65 years; sex (fishermen to fish traders) was 71.3% (female) and 28.75% (males) respectively. Marital status of respondents was single, married, divorced, seperated and widowed. Predominant religion of repondents was Islam and Christianity. The study revealed that transactional sex in the study area is mediated by economic structural and environmental factors. The study also revealed that 70.12% of documented HIV cases at the Tombo Community Health Centre were female, while 29.87% were male between the active age of 15-55 years. Fish traders (68.8%) constituted the highest carriers of HIV in the study area.

    Description: The aim of the study was to access the impact of water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes on fish catch in the lower Taylor Creek area of Bayelsa State. The experimental approach involved the division of the creek into new stations: infested and non-infested at the littoral zone. Subsequently, the deployment of six Malian traps with dimensions of 70cm diameter and 80cm height were set in each station for a period of six months using groudnut cake as bails. Furthermore, fish caught were counted and identified into families and species. From results, fish species composition obtained from the stations were a total of 9 families and 15 species. However, it was observed that the water hyacinth infested area had the lowest fish catch while the non-infestated area had the highest number of fish catch for both dry and wet season. It is therefore concluded that the invasion of Eichhornia crassipes impacted on fish population and composition.

    Description: One of the priority research projects of the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR) is broodstock development and mass propagation of silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus of which the broodstock is naturally abundant in New Gala River. Selected physical characteristics and water physico-chemical parameters of the upper reach of the New Calabar River at Aluu were investigated. The highest depth value of 9.20 m was recorded in the middle of the river. The width of the river measured during spring high tide and low tide were 174 m and 110 m respectively. The cross-sectional area and average flow velocity of the river were 797.13 m2 and 0.374 m/s respectively. The discharge of the river was computed as 298.13m3/s. The river water was acidic most of the period (Hydrogen ion concentration, pH: 5.12 to 7.43), with low total alkalinity values (4.00 to 12.00 mgCaCO3/L) and low total hardness values (11.5 to 51.2 mgCaCO3/L) which indicate that the river water is black and soft. There was significant (p~,0.05) seasonal variation in temperature (23.1 to 31.7~'C\}, Secchi transparency (9.30 to 19.00 cm), total hardness (11.5 to 51.2 mgCaCO3/L), dissolved oxygen (5.20 to 7.50 mg/L) and dissolved oxygen deficit (0.02 to 2.95mg/L). These results are useful for several stake holders who use the river as a sink for trade wastes, as source of water for fish farming, as source of broodstocks of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, as raw water for water treatment plants, and as means of transportation of industrial materials.

    Description: Mechanization of agriculture to promote and improve the yields from agricultural practices has necessitated the use of pesticides and other agrochemicals. The effects of using these pesticides on the environment are rarely considered by farmers. This study investigated the effects and sub-lethal effect of atrazine on tilapia, an ubiquitous culturable fish species. The 96 hr LC50 was determined using static renewal bioassay method while the effect on haematological parameters was determined after exposure for 3 weeks to sub-lethal doses of atrasine. The LC50 was found to be 6.977mg/l. Sub-lethal exposure resulted in anaemia and increased the white blood cell counts.

    Description: Molecular technique based on Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to study genetic status among tilapia species from Badore landing site of Lekki lagoon. Individual variations within species population were assessed using PCR-RAP analysis with five Operon primers (OPC04, OPA02, OPB08, OPE02 and OPF03, Operon Technologies Inc, USA) which revealed dif ferent banding patterns of varying primer reproducibility. Graphical representation using UPGMA cluster analysis produced a dendrogram chart with five clusters (~f, ~e, ~p ,~S, and ~W) indicating different degrees of variations and similarities. There were various levels of genetic similarity observed possibly due to hybridization. Nevertheless, few distinct variations among the samples were visible, show ing possible genetic variability. At 0.89 (89%) coefficient, cluster,~f is made up of 7 samples which are genetically similar. At 0.834 (83.1 %) coefficient, distinct sample BTl2 forms a cluster (~p) with cluster ~f which shows they are related at this coefficient. Cluster ~W (84% coefficient) comprising of 7 samples forms another cluster with a distinct sample BT06 at about 0.79 coefficients. At 78.6% coefficient (cluster ~e). All the samples are genetically similar except sample BT17. This distinct sample can increase genetic variability by a cross between it and other strains of tilapia. Therefore, care should be taken by fish farmers who buy or use the fish samples from this landing site for culture. Proper molecular characterization of this fish species before culture becomes necessary to avoid genetic problems.

    Description: Electrophoresis of Myofibrillar and Sarcoplasmic muscle proteins of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, Heterobranchus bidosalis and their reciprocal hybrids in South-West Nigeria was carried out to reveal the similarities and dissimilarities among species in other to aid the selection of suitable strains for aquaculture that could lead to production of new varieties of fishes to alleviate the problem of short supply of fast growing quality fish seeds. The study was aimed at analyzing the muscle protein profiles of C. gariepinus, H. bidor salis and their reciprocal hybrids. Sixteen juveniles fish samples (comprising four samples from each mating combinations) artificially propagated and reared for sixteen weeks were analyzed eleclrophorelically. Myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic fractions were prepared by homogenizing 150mg of fish muscle in 1.5ml of rigor buffer containing 10mM Trismeleates, 60 mM K Cl, 5mM MgCl〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 1nM EDTA. Extracts were centrifuged in a tube at l0,000g for 5 min at 4~'C. The resultant pellets (myofibrilla) and supernatant (sarcoplasmic) separated using 12.5% Sodium Dodecyl-Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (1D SDS-PAGE). The relative concentration of individual protein bands were analyzed using Tota/Lab?1D software. The individual protein bands in the electrophoregram were identified in relation to their molecular weights. A total of eleven and seven protein bands were resolved in Myofibrilla and Sarcoplasmic fractions respectively. The 5th band with molecular weight (MW) of 52.23 KDa of the myofibrilla electrophoregram distinguished C. gariepinus from H. bidorsalis while the 3rd band with MW 119.04, 4th band with MWs 101.49 & 102.13; 8th band with MWs 29.24 and 29.39 KDa distinct the pure breeds from the hybrids. However, in sarcoplasmic fraction, the 3rd and 5th bands with MWs 92.11 KDa and 54.28 KDa respectively distinguished the hybrids in the while the 7th band with MW 41.67 KDa distinct the pure breeds. Therefore, this research will serve as a bridge between the existing gaps of information available on the muscle protein profile of C. gariepinus, H. bidorsalis and their reciprocal hybrids and the study identifies the proteomic classification of Clariid species with the aim of enlightening fish researchers and aquacullurists on the characterization of broodstock selection for successful breeding exercise.

    Description: A study of fish species abundance of Otammiri River, Owerri, Nigeria was conducted from April to August, 2012. Four hundred and three (403)fishes belonging to 10 families, 16 genera and 21 species were collected from artisanal fishers using various fishing gears. The fish samples were taken to laboratory, identified, counted and their weights and lengths measured. The unnamed cichlid species ranked highest in percentage number and weight as well as Index of Preponderance (38.7%, 33.6% and 51.1% respectively), while the least were Polycentropis abbreviata, Hepsetus odoe, Synodontis omias, Chrysichthys aluensis and Chrysichthys furcatus each constituting 0.2% of the total number of fish collected. Among fish families, Cichlidae ranked highest in percentage number (82.63%) and weight (81.2%), followed by Hepsetidae (5. 7% and 8.0%) and Anabantidae (4.47% and 2.8% respectively). The least were Characidae, Notopteridae and Mochokidae. The presence of an unnamed fish species in the river is an indication that there could be more unknown aquatic living resources with strong potential benefits to the River. The information provided in this study reflects the potential of the fish resources of Otammiri. This will serve as invaluable baseline tool in fisheries management planning and policy formulations that will enhance the development of fisheries in the area.

    Description: Proper genetic characterization would help in the selection of suitable strains for aquaculture that could lead to production of varieties of fishes to alleviate the problem of short supply of fast growing quality fish seeds. The study was aimed at analyzing the muscle protein profiles of Clarias gariepinus, Heterobranchus bidorsalis and their reciprocal hybrids. Sixteen juveniles fish samples (comprising four samples from each mating combinations) artificially propagated and reared for sixteen weeks were analyzed electrophoreti cally. The separation of the different polypeptides of C. gariepinus, H. bidorsalis and their reciprocal hybrid were carried out using 12% Sodium dodecyl, sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (JD SDS-PAGE). The relative concentration of individual protein bands were analyzed using Total Lab〈sup〉TM〈/sup〉 ID software. The individual protein bands in the electrophoregram were identified in relation to their molecular weights. The gel images obtained after electrophoresis were scored and subjected to cluster analysis. The lst, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and l1th bands were detected across all mating combinations. The 5th band with molecular weight (78.58 distinguishes C. gariepinus from H. bidorsalis while the 6th band with molecular weight (54.41 KDa) distincts the reciprocal hybrid Clariabranchus from Heteroclarias. The 7th and 12th bands distinguished the pure breeds from the hybrids. The 7th band was present in both hybrids-Clariabranchus (49.50 KDa) and Heteroclarias (49.77 KDa) species but absent in the pure breeds while 12th was present in the pure breeds-C. gariepinus (19.92 KDa) and H. bidorsalis (20.29 KDa) but absent in the hybrids. The cluster analysis shows a high level of genetic similarity among the mating combinations which affirms the already established monophylogenetic relatedness among the species.

    Description: The estuarine catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, is a prized food fish in Nigeria especially in the Niger Delta region. There is a growing concernrn over the sustainability of the fishery in the face of climate change and environmental variability. Studies were conducted on the fecundity, gonadosomatic index and the spawning period of the species. The objectives were to determine the average fecundity of the species and to use the gonadosomatic index to determine its spawning period with the aim of proffering management advice and prerequisites of the species in the face of climate change. A total of 44 females and 40 males were used for the study which spanned the period from May 2011 to April 2012. The fecundity of the species ranged from 3,730.5 eggs to 41,535.9 eggs. There was correlation between the total fecundity and fish weight (p~,01, r= 0.80, n= 44). The regression model for the relationship was expressed as fecundity = 4660.8+4.76 weight. The gonadosomatic index was highest in the month of May and dropped sharply in june signifying that spawning in Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus starts around this period. The implications of these findings in respect to sustainability of the species, and its aquaculture in the face of climate change are discussed.

    Description: Traditional fish processing technologies vary widely in terms of equipment type, size and processing efficiency in Nigeria's coastal states. This study was carried out to identify fish processing technologies and evaluate the effectiveness, energy sources and efficiency of fish smoking equipment in use in the study area. Data were collected using structured questionnaire administered between January and March, 2011 in seven fishing villages along the coastline in the lbeju-Lekki LGA, Nigeria. Major fish species being processed were identified; and the profitability of the post harvest technologies adopted was evaluated. A total of five traditional fish processing equipment were observed; and included galvanized iron sheet supported by planks 51 (46.4%); drum oven 8 (7.2%); black clay oven 24 (21.8%); red clay oven 9 (8.1%); brick kiln 5 (4.2%) and government model kiln 4 (3.5%). Generally, energy sources were fuel wood and charcoal for traditional fish processing equipment; and electricity for the government model kiln. Majority of traditional fish processors were peasant women; and three types of processing technologies were observed, including air drying (1.0%), hot smoking 169.1%); and salting and smoking (29.9%). The capacity of kilns and ovens observed ranged from 20 to 50kg daily with a price range of Nl0,000 to N50,000. Factors considered before replacement of smoking equipment by the processors were equipment ruggedness, cost and production capacity. Women's involvement in traditional fish processing was 95%; and major fish species in the value chain included Ethmalosa fimbriata, Caranx senegallus, Sardinella maderensis,Drepane africana, Cynoglossus monodis, Pseudotolithus megalensis, P. typus, Arius latiscutatus and A. mercatoris. It was observed that products of traditional fish processing industry were readily acceptable to consumers and commanded marginal market prices with optimal economic benefits to processors.

    Description: The study examined fisher folk responses to climate change in Kainji lake basin. The sample comprises of fisher folks within and New Bussa. Eighty questionnaires were administered to obtain the primary data and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The results revealed that majority (70%) of the respondent were male, however (61.2%) of them had tertiary education. Majority (60%) of the respondents were aware of changes in climate in the area. Majority (65%) and (55%) of the respondents were involved in incidence of deforestation and charcoal production respectively. In conclusion, it was discovered that little knowledge about climate change and its effects were found among fisher folk. Therefore it recommends that sensitization workshops/lectures be done to enable the fisher folk have adequate knowledge on climate change and the implications on fisheries activities in the basin.

    Description: The paper discussed the importance of fish as a food commodity and the rich icthyofauna resources of Nigerian territorial which has not been optimally utilized to be sustainable. Among the challenges facing the fisheries subsector of Nigerian economomy apart from overfishing, poor post-harvest technology and high incidence of sea piracy is poor level of communications, public relations, restricted access to extension services especially to the rural artisanal fisherfolks/fish farmers in Nigeria . This has been identified as contributory to the increasing shortfall between demand and supply of fish in Nigeria. There is a need/or a good public image fisheries concerns. Production and marketing personnel need to respect the wishes of the consumers and have good interpersonal relationships. Communication should be a 2-way affair between the extension officers and the fisherfolks in the rural communities to be achieved. The various media that could aid better dissemination in the Fisheries subsector were highlighted. The author recommended better funding, training of extensionists and target audience, improved public sensitization of rural practitioners to fish output. There is a need for a more productive and result-oriented reform in Nigerian extension system. A unified extension is also recommended for effective extension education from the stage of production, handling, processing, transport and retailing. More conducive enabling environment should be created by the government.

    Description: The effects of two different preservative equipment-the NIOMR (Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research) kiln and local cut-drum oven-on crude protein, minerals and vitamins of C. gariepinus were studied. The fish were obtained from Africa Regional Aquaculture Centre, Aluu, Port Harcourt. Moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, crude fat and ash content were determined using standard methods. There were significant differences (P〈0.05) in the moisture and crude fiber content. The moisture content of the fish sample ranged from 2.18 to 5.98, this could be attributed to the drying methods. The crude fibre content ranged from 2.78 and shows no significant difference. The ash content of the samples ranged from 0.25- 0.6%, an indication that smoking reduces the ash content of fish. Result of the crude protein of fresh fish was 21.84 ~c 1.10 which increased to 59.53 ~c 1.88 and 35.41 ~c1.00 in NIOMR smoking kiln and local oven respectively. This means that, there was a significant different in the effects of the two dryers on crude protein. The vitamin content of both ovens showed no significant difference except in vitamin A which was significant in the fish dried with smoking kiln. There was significant different (p〈0.05) in the mineral content of the two drying equipment, this was in Sodium, Potassium and Phosphorus level of fish smoked with NIOMR smoking kiln. This result indicates that the two drying methods have varying effects on the nutritional quality of catfish, which is in favour of NIOMR kiln.

    Description: This study investigates the use of Luffa cylindrica seed meal as soybean replacer in the diet of Clarias gariepinus. Five isonitrogenous diets containing soybean meal which was replaced by Luffa cylindrica at a rate of 0, 15,30,45 and 60% were made. The diets without Luffa cylindrical seed meal served as the control. Experimental diets were assigned randomly to the tanks and each group of fish was fed 5% body weight in equal proportion per day. The fish fed diet 1 had the highest incidence of cost, while the fish fed diet 4 had the lowest incidence of cost. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the incidence of cost of producing 1kg fish with the different dietary treatments. The fish fed at diet 4 had the highest profit, while the fish fed at diet 1 had the lowest profit. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the profit margin of producing 1kg fish with the different dietary treatments. The incidence of cost showed that it was cheaper to produce 1kg of fish with Luffa cylindrical seed meal because feeding the fish with the diet (control and tests diets) left some profit margin.

    Description: A 56-day feeding trial to investigate the effects of feeding varying levels of substituted Soybeam meal (SBL) with Pigeon pea seed meal (PSM) on the performance and carcass characteristics of Clarias gariepinus was conducted. Five isonitrogenous 40% crude protein diets were formulated where PSM Clarias gariepinus (15.74 ~c 1.22g) stocked at 15 fish/50 litres tanks were fed diets in triplicates twice daily to satiation and weight changes recorded weekly. Fish fed diet with 25% and 100% PSM inclusion gave the highest mean weight gain of 25.47g and 23.34g respectively (P〉0.05). There were no significant difference (P〉0.05) among the weight gain of other treatments. Fish fed diet containing 0% SBM and 100% PSM gave the highest gross food conversion efficiency and percentage weight gain of 43.50g and 12.l8g while fish fed diet containing 50% SBM and 50% PSM had the lowest of 35.67 and 9.99 respectively with no significant changes compared with other treatments. For good growth, fish farmers are advised to consider Pigeon pea seed meal either as a partial (25%) or total replacement (100%) for soybean meal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus juveniles.

    Description: Fish growth is a function of adequate supply of feed in the right quantity and time. The effect of feeding rate on the growth of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) was studied for a period of 22 weeks. The fish were fed at the same percentage body weight throughout the study period and a bi-weekly weight gain was measured. Water quality parameters were also monitored. There was a significant increase in weight gain in daily feeding regime than in the ones in two days feeding regime. The increase in weight for the daily feeding regime was visible as from the 8th week while that for the ones in two days feeding was only significantly different in 22nd week at 0.05 level of significance. The relationship between the two feeding regime types also revealed that the daily feeding performed better than the ones in two days feeding regime.

    Description: The techniques for induced breeding of Clarias gariepinus has been developed and mastered by fish breeders. There is however no record of successful induced breeding of Heterotis niloticus in captivity. In this study, the reproductive indices of the ovaries, of the two fish species were compared. The ovaries of sexually matured samples were extracted and their weights measured. The mean gonadosomatic index (GSI) of C. gariepinus was 3.94% while that of H. niloticus was 1.61 %. The mean condition factor (K) was 5.28 in C. gariepinus while it was 2.03 in H. niloticus. Gonad and body weight relationship was positively correlated in both species (r = 0.69 in C. gariepinus and r = 0.37 in H. niloticus. Also, an inverse relationship existed between the body weight and GSI in the two species (r = -0.3 5 inC. gariepinus and r = -0.06 in H. niloticus.

    Description: The effect of five enclosure colour on the production of Clarias gariepinus fry at post- yolk absorption stage were examined in the indoor hatchery during the first phase of exogenous feeding. A total of 3600 C. gariepinus fry (mean weight, 6.3 ~c 0.00 mg) were stocked into 15,56 litres capacity laboratory plastic bowls. Tank colours evaluated were black, blue, green, white and maroon. Frys were fed on zooplankton ad-libitum. Results indicated that tank colour had significant impact (P〈0.05) on the weight of C. gariepinus fry. However, percentage survival was significantly higher (P 〈 0.05) in black (86.67 %) than in white and maroon (56.67% and 66.67 % respectively). Survival in the black tanks ( 86.67 %) was not significantly different ( P 〉 0.05) than the blue and green tanks treatments but was significantly higher ( P 〉 0.05) than the blue and green tanks treatments. Based on the results, it is obvious that the background enclosure colour has effects on the growth and survival of fry in the indoor rearing system. A general tendency of higher fry growth and survival in dark colour backgrounds was evident. This could have a significant financial impact on commercial fingerlings production of C. gariepinus as fish hatchery operators in Nigeria do not currently take into consideration the colour of tanks use for the rearing of fry in the indoor hatchery.

    Description: This study looked into the physicochemical and bacteriological investigation of fish and water in Aiba Reservoir. Water and fish samples collected were studied to assess their bacteriological and physicochemical characteristics and their suitability for domestic purposes. Structural questionnaires were administered to the fishermen around the reservoir and experiments were carried out in the laboratory to analyze the samples. The results showed that the total viable bacteria count was high(1.02 x 105 cfu/ml) while few Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli occurred insignificantly. The population of S. aureus and E. coli in the fish gills, liver and tissue were insignificant. The results obtained from the physicochemical analysis of the water samples showed that the reservoir has optimum water temperature of 29degreesC ~c 0.25, a pH of 7.70 ~c 0.20, dissolved Oxygen level of 7.20mgO2/1 ~c 0.20 and total hardness of 45.00 mg/ICaC03 ~c 1.05. The microbial load in the fish sample is higher than that in the water sample. Further strict hygienic measures and surveillance is recommended so as to improve the water quality and to avoid deleterious effects on the health of the Iwo inhabitants and its neighboring communities who also benefit from the reservoir.

    Description: Comparative primary production in Little Stream Farms, near Uyo was investigated in relation to physico-chemical parameters of the adjacent perennial stream and the fish ponds. Except for temperature, which showed the same values for both stations, physico-chemical variables generally showed significant difference (P〈O.05) between the pond water and the adjacent stream. Values of silicates, Turbidity (NTU), Secchi Disc Transparency and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) exhibited significantly variable trends (P〈O.05), especially in the stream water, in response to the commercial sand dredging activities upstream from the fann location. Lowest value of stream transparency (O.1M) recorded was during the peak of the sand dredging, whereas the stream water showed absolute transparency in the absence of the dredging. The water quality parameters also exhibited a general trend of significant seasonal variation (P〈O.05). Five phytoplankton families: Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanobacteria, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae occurred in the ponds, while three families, Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanobacteria occurred in the stream. Bacillariophyceae showed the highest relative abundance in both stations A and B.

    Description: Fertilizer application in earthen ponds has been used as a low-cost method of sustainable aquaculture production. This study was carried out to investigate the growth response of African Catfish fry Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1882) in three different culture media in Homestead concrete tanks. The water in the control (T1) was not treated while T2 and T3 were treated with poultry droppings and soy bean milk filtrate respectively. Nine hundred (900) catfish fry weighing averagely 0.67 ? 0.69g were randomly allocated per treatment. In each tank (2m x 3m x 1.5m) were suspended (3) net cages each (1m x 1m x 1m). Each net cage had 100 fry. The fish in tank 1 (control treatment) were fed fish meal from the start at 5% of their body weight four times daily while the other treatments were not fed at all for the first 7 days. Feeding with fishmeal commenced for treatments T2 and T3 on the next 8 ? 14 day. The weights of the feed were adjusted after weekly weighing Analyses of the culture media for phytoplankton composition and water quality parameters were done for all treatments at the end of the experiment. Tables 3 and 4. The culture media with poultry manure (T2) and soyabean filtrate (T3) were found to influence the quality and quantity of the plankton which in turn determined the growth and survival. Tables 1 and 2. However, the best weight increase was recorded in T1 (2.33g) followed by T3 (1.89g) and then T2 (1.81g) had the lowest weight gain. The survival rates in all the treatments were high but was highest in T3 (98%) followed by T2 (97%) and T1 (95%). Dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature of culture media were variously affected by the treatments. The presence of zooplanktons (Rotifer and Daphnia species) invariably supported the highest survival (98%) of the fry in treatment T3. Treatment T3 (11.56 ~c 1.14) x 103) generated higher concentrations of most of identified zooplanktons than treatments T1 (5.39 ~c 0.73) x 103) and T2 (12.78 ~c 0.98) x 103). These zooplanktons were absent in treatments T1 and T2. The result indicated that fertilizing the culture medium using soybean milk filtrate or poultry droppings improved the growth and of C. gariepinus.

Water samples were collected monthly from 8:00 to l2:00noon, for four months (July - October 2008, wet season) and analysed. The physico-chemical parameters were within the ranges of unpolluted water bodies. Variation occurs in almost all the months of the study. Significant difference (P〈0.05) occurred in pH, transparency and Ca among the stations, and insignificant difference (P〉0.05) in temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, Mg and P. These variations may be due to effects of fertilizer application, herbicides and insecticides in irrigated farms around the Lake.

    Description: The effects of two different preservative methods, NIOMR Smoking Kiln and Oven drying on Crude Protein minerals and Vitamin of clarias gariepinus were studied. Clarias gariepinus were obtained from the fish farm of African Regional Aquaculture Centre, Aluu, Port Harcourt. The crude protein, minerals and vitamins of the fresh fish were determined immediately while two other batches were separately dried using oven at 50~'C for 30minutes and NIOMR Smoking Kiln at 70~'C for 3 hours. Result of the crude protien of fresh fish was 21.84 ~c 1.10 which increased to 59.53 ~c 1.88 and 35.41 ~c 1.00 in both NIOMR smoking and oven, respectively. This means that, there was a significant different in both dryers on the crude protein. This will improve the knowledge and capacity of rural women and agricultural communities on the appropriate processing method for fish. The mineral and vitamins of oven dried and NIOMR Smoking kiln were analyzed. The vitamin content of both the fish, dried and smoking kiln shows no significant different except in vitamin A which was significant (p〈0.05).There was significant different (p〈0.05) in the mineral content of the two different drying method except in sodium, Potassium and Phosphorus of the drying method. This result indicates that the two drying methods have effects on the nutritional quality of catfish.

    Description: The objective of this study was to determine the quality deterioration of African catfish Clarias gariepinus and Tilapia, Orechromis niloticus stored at-4~'C for 8 weeks. Weekly analysis was conducted to measure protein, moisture, crude fat and ash content and evaluation of the sensory quality. The result clearly reveals that during storage, both the samples showed a highly significant (p〈0.05) decreasing trend in protein, lipid, ash and moisture content. The result shows that protein, moisture, fat and ash content of the fish samples decreases with increasing duration of frozen storage. The fresh samples has the highest value of protein, moisture, fat and ash content while the least value was recorded on the 8th week. 19.98 ~c 2.66%, 80.71 ~c 1.65%, 3.92 ~c 0.5% and 2.52 ~c were recorded for freshly prepared Clarias gariepinus respectively while 12.62 ~c 1.22%, 66.86 ~c 0.68%, 1.08 ~c 1.04% and 1.14 ~c 0.33% were recorded on the 8th week respectively. 20.80 ~c 1.46, 60.75 ~c 2.50, 9.75 ~c 2.50% and 5.85 ~c 2.51% were recorded for freshly prepared Oreochromis niloticus respectively while 25.05 ~c 2.20%, 47.60 ~c 2. 15%, 7.1 ~c 0.20 and 3.00 ~c 2.10% were recorded on the 8th week respectively. After 8 weeks, the total decrease was 7.36%, 13.85%, 2.84% and 1.38% respectively for Clarias gariepinus and 3.75%, 13.45%, 2.65% and 2.85% respectively for Oreochromis niloticus. Sensory evaluation of the fish samples revealed that quality, texture, colour, odour, aroma and taste decrease with increasing duration of storage and best quality obtained when freshly prepared.

    Description: The comparative study of the structure of testes of both the cultured and wild Male Clarias species was carried out with the aim of highlighting the possible differences in the testicular structure between them. The data were analysed based on the Regression and Correlation Analysis to examine the relationship between and within the data using Microsoft Excel data analysis tool. The Samples of the testes were fixed in Bouin's fluid for 72 hours. The tissue samples were passed through graded concentrations of alcohol at 50%, 70%, 90%, and absolute alcohol (100%) in order to achieve dehydration. The tissues were cleared in two jars of xylene for one hour and then embedded after passing through the four changes of paraffin wax at 60~'C. Paraffin sections of 5. Micron thick were obtained on a microtome. These were mounted on clear albuminized slides after floating on a warm water bath and then dried in an oven and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H & E). At the same time, some of the cut sections of the testes were stained with Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) reagents. All the slides were examined under the light microscope. On the slides stained with H&E and PAS, the histological features of the testis were evaluated and the histomorphometry of the testes determined. The findings of this work showed that there was no histological difference in the testicular structure of both domestically reared and wild strains of Clarias gariepinus species. At the end of the experiment, this work showed that testicular structure of Clarias gariepinus in the cultured and the wild are histologically similar.

    Description: A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of duck manure and spilled duvk weed on water quality and production of Oreochromis niloticus in an intigrated system utilizing two loacl duck weed breeds. Treatment 1 (T1) consist of fish (mean weight, 20.7 ~c 1.28g) stocked at a density of 5 fish/m2 pond and integrated with 12 mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchas); treatment 2 (T2) consist of fish (mean weight, 21.86 ~c 0.93g) stocked at a density of 5 fish/m2 pon and integrated with 12 Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) with treatment 3 (T3) was the control (72m2 fish pond without integration). Fish with treatment two was fed compounded feed of 30% crude protein content three times daily while those in T1, T2 fed on duck manure and spilled duck feed (15% crude protein content). Water quality parameter of the fish pond, growth parameters of the fish and duck were monitored. After a 12-week experimental period, mean weight gain of fish were 140.68, 122.11 and 157.19g in T1, T2 and T3 respectively, while percentage survival was high in T3 and lower in T2. Water quality parameter was generally favorable for fish growth in the treatment. Mallard ducks are recommended for the duck-fish system since they perform better than Muscovey duck both in survivability and ability to engender fish growth.

    Description: This paper reviewed the effect of synthetic and non-synthetic hormones on the fecundity fertilization, hatching, latency period and ovulation of Clarias gariepinus. The reviewed result confirmed the necessity of stimulating fecundity in Clarias gariepinus with hormones complexes. The effectiveness of synthetic hormones over the non-synthetic hormones in fecundity stimulation and the highest fecundity level, hatching and fertilization recorded was from the synthetic hormonal sources. Hormonal substances influenced greatly fecundity, ovulation, fertilization of Clarias gariepinus but the technical- know- how involved in getting the non-synthetic hormone such as pituitary is very difficult and rigorous which makes the synthetic counterpart preferable.

    Description: This study assessed the physico-chemical parameters and heavy metal concentration of tap and borehole water in Minna metropolis. The experiment lasted over a period of three months from May to July 2012. Six (6) locations were identified within Minna metropolis, Bosso, Kpagungu, Chanchaga, Mobil, Maitumbi, and Tunga where water samples were randomly taken once every month. Hydrogen ions concentration, chloride, Sodium and Potassium were determined by the method of American Public Health Association (1995), while temperature was measured with thermometer. Air and Water temperature were determined in situ, while Hyd rogen ions concenration (pH), Ionic conductivity, Alkalinity, Hardness, Chloride, Sodium, Potassium and Heavy Metal concentration, copper, zinc, and Lead were determined in the laboratory. The parameters measured showed marked variation across months and locations. values of physico-chemical and concentration of heavy metals in Tap and Borehole water variables studied showed that parameter measured, fell within the recommended ranges for aquaculture and drinking water. Water temperature showed significant difference (p〈0.05), while conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, sodium and potassium showed no significant difference (p〉0.05) amongst the months. The physico-chemical parameters assessed, indicated that most of the parameters fell within standards set by the Federal Ministry of Environment. Comparison between tap and borehole water of each location in Minna metropolis did not show significant difference in temperatures of the locations (p〉0.05). However, significant difference was observed in conductivity of the various locations (p〈0.05).
