    Description: This paper examines the importance of capacity building and training requirement for the benefit of fisheries and aquaculture extension in Nigeria. It involves the analysis of secondary data bothering on the management of agricultural extension in Nigeria over time vis-avis various agricultural development programmes in the past in which fisheries and aquaculture extension was apparently de-emphasized in favour of crop and livestock agriculture. It is therefore recommended as a way forward that a favorable reform in the Nigerian agricultural extension system will be a necessary avenue to put fisheries and aquaculture extension in proper perspective for effective service delivery which will be a good entry point to achieving the millennium development goals of combating hunger, extreme poverty and attainment of food security in Nigeria.

    Description: The study examined the contribution of women to fisheries in Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria. The sample size of 80 respondents was selected through a purposive sampling in ten (10) fishing villages around Kainji Lake Basin. Instrument for data collection was semi- structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that the women are mostly engaged in processing, marketing and financing. About 60 percent of the women interviewed are engaged in marketing and financing. Ten (10) percent of the respondents are engaged in financing. The low participation in financing is attributed to high amount of capital involved. It is recommended that women should be made to benefit more from rural development policies and programmes.

    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: The food and feeding habits of Protopterus annectens of the River Rima and Goronyo Dam in North Western Nigeria was studied. A total of one hundred and eighteen (118) fish samples were collected from October, 2001 to September, 2002 and the stomach contents were analyzed using frequency of occurrence method. The feeding adaptation with respect to mouth and related structures, gill rakers and dentition were examined. The gut length and fish length indicated rectilinear positive relationship. The regression coefficient (b) and correlation coefficient (r) of GL TL relationships were highly significant (p〈0. 01). The main taxa of food substances found in the stomachs included substances of plant and animal origins, with overall frequency of 49. 1and 38.3% for the samples from River Rima and 27.2 and 60.3% for those from Goronyo Dam in the same order. The results of percentage occurrence of the food items in the dry season showed that animal substances in the juveniles (51.7%) and the adults (41.4%) were higher than the plant materials in the samples from the two water bodies. In the rainy season, the percentage occurrences of animal substances were higher in the adults (= 30cm) samples from Goronyo Dam than those samples from River Rima, while the same food items were absent in the juveniles (= 30cm) from the two water bodies. These feeding adaptive features indicate the roles of the species in their ecological niche and provide base line information that could be useful in satisfying their food requirement under culture condition. The diversity of food substances found in the stomach and their occurrence in the juveniles and adults varied with the water bodies and season.

    Description: The paper reviews the various techniques of fish handling and processing in Lake Chad. Poor handling of fish catches on board coupled with the distant location of the fishing grounds and thick aquatic vegetation on the lake which hamper fast movement of catches to the processing centers are the bane of good quality fresh fish getting to the processors. The techniques adopted in processing and preservation are mainly smoking, char-burning and sun drying. Defects suffered by the processed products of the methods include high moisture content, heavy insect infestation, bacterial decomposition and fungal attack. Protection of catches from direct sunlight by spreading wet jutes over them will lower the rate of deterioration. Removal of the aquatic vegetation by appropriate authorities and canalization will ease movement of fish catches to the processing centers. More serious enlightenment of the processors on the adoption of the 'Chorkor' oven will reduce the problems presently facing cured fish. The use of rambo insecticide and other dangerous chemicals by the fish processors and marketers for the preservation of fish products before repackaging should be discouraged.

    Description: A 7.0 meters Length Overall (LOA) flat bottom canoe similar to the one commonly used for fishing in Kainji lake, but with some modifications, was designed. The improvements/modifications over the local canoe include, an additional chine to reduce the flatness of the bottom which was absent in the local canoes commonly used. The canoe's light displacement (weight empty) was 0.48 Tonne, which was similar to local canoe of same size. The draft obtained was 0.13 M( 13cm), which is 36.9% of its depth (0.48 M). The capacity of the canoe was 1.304 tones. The water plane area (WPA) was 3.89 M2; WPA coefficient, and block coefficient were 0.83, and 0.82 respectively. The modification on the canoe resulted in provision of a canoe with the bottom shaped close to V-bottom to aid better performance on rough turbulent water such as the Kainji Lake, and increased life span of canoe and safety of fisher folk while aboard fishing.

    Description: The paper examines the prospect and constraints of fisheries extension under the unification policy. It revealed certain barriers influencing its fullest utilization as well as fisher folks participation in extension programmes. Some of the barriers identified are related to inaccessibility, logistic support, improper aquaculture methodology, insufficient applied research in small scale fisheries, inability to convert research findings into positive results by small scale fisheries, inadequate number of fisheries research personnel within the existing research centers and institutes catering for the fishers sector, complexity of issues, lack of coordination and continuity in research and data deficiencies in small scale fisheries. Based on the findings, the paper recommends that, the effectiveness of the methods of identifying research needs by practitioners be assessed, the impact of the generated research results in reducing or solving field problems be ascertained, the constraints to diffusion of proven technologies from research being integrated into small scale fisheries be evaluated, the degree of effectiveness of extension delivery tools on .fishers technology adoption be ascertained, and lastly, adequate applied research in small scale fishery be emphasized.

    Description: Comparative study on the microbial load and proximate composition of fresh lean fish Labeo cubie and fresh fatty fish Synodontis membranaceus with their smoked products were carried out. The colony count of different parts was carried out on all the samples and the results show the highest microbial load on the gut of both the fresh lean fish and the fresh fatty fish. The smoked dried lean fish and the smoked dry fatty fish had lower microbial counts compared to their fresh samples because smoking reduces the microbial load on fish. Biochemical characterization carried out on all isolates confirmed Gram-negative bacterial isolates. The proximate composition show that water is the most affected nutrient during the hot smoking of both the fresh fish sample and the fresh fatty sample with a corresponding increase in protein content. There was a significant difference (p〈 0.05) in proximate composition of smoked product of fresh fatty fish and the fresh lean fish. The colony counts of different parts of the fish reveals that majority of the microorganisms is found in the guts followed by gills and the lowest in the skin this is the pattern in the two fresh fish but for smoked fish the gut is usually removed before smoking.

    Description: Good handling of fish from the point of harvest to consumption is very essential and the quality of fish can only be maintained if only suitable containers are used in its processing, transportation, distribution and marketing. This study analyzed the different containers used by fishermen at lake Alau community in Konduga Local Government Area of Bomo State. The study was carried out in two prominent leading sites of lake Alau community which are kachalari and Abbari with the aid of questionnaires interview conducted with 50 randomly selected respondents fishermen. Both primary and secondary data were collected. The collected data were analyzed using the market cost of the various fish containers. The result shows that fish containers such as Metal basin, sacks, flat sacks and Metal trays have strong strength while Baskets, jerry cans and calabash have moderate strength the polythene bags, stationery and news print are very weak. Also baskets have the highest percentage of usage 20% while flat sacks, polythene bags and stationery have the highest percentage of 4%, which are the lowest. It can be concluded that, the different containers are afforded to fishermen but most of the containers are often kept dirty, which lead to poor hygiene, rough handling and invariably post-harvest losses and shortage in food supply. It can be recommended that, sheds should be provided at the landing sites to protect fresh fish the direct heat of the sun and enlightment of fishermen and traders on the minimum standard o fthe quality and hygiene for fish and fishery products.

    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: Kainji Lake is a man-made Lake and is impounded in 1968 to generate hydroelectric power. The Lake also offers opportunities for developmental projects like Fisheries and Irrigation. Lake Kainji receives organic waste through husbandry operations in which the cattle defecate into and around the bank of the Lake. Other sources of pollution include runoff from farms, bathing and washings in the Lake. Surrounding villages e.g. Tarda and Musawa used the Lake as source of raw drinking water and also for other domestic purposes. Bacteriological quality of fish and water from the Lake is carried out as well as that of cow dung by using primary isolation media and biochemical analysis. Physico-chemical parameters of water from the Lake is also determined. Total viable bacteria count and total coliform count of the water range from 3.4 x 104 to 03.8x 106 Cfu/ml and 1.4 x 103to 2.1 x 105Cfu/ml respectively. Cow dung has total coliform count of 6.9 x 105 while fish gills has total coliform count of 1.6x103cfu/g. Bacteria species such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Aeromanas hydrophila, and shigella species were found in the water body. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Salmonella species were found in the fish samples. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Shigella species and Salmonella species were isolated from cow dung. Physicochemical Parameters such as DO, BOD and N03-N range from 4. 7 to 5.2mg/l, 0.2 to 0.9mg/1 and 7.0 to 9.3 mg/l respectively. This result shows that Kainji Lake is an intermediately polluted water. It is therefore necessary that cow dung used for fertilization of fish ponds should be screened for pathogens before use. It is also recommended that pollution of surface water bodies through human activities should be discourage by legislation on water pollution.

    Description: Ten specimens of African cuttlefish, Sepia bertheloti, from the coastal waters off Qua Iboe River, Southeast Nigeria, were analyzed for the relationship between the concentration of the elements and the size of the species. Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique was employed to determine the elemental composition of the species. Eleven elements were identified in the body of cuttlefish. These were Chlorine, Strontium, Potassium, Calcium, Bromine, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Nickel and Selenium of these elements, the concentration of calcium, potassium. Copper and strontium had a positive correlation with the weight, while the concentrations of manganese, nickel, chlorine, iron were negatively correlated with their weights. However, only manganese had a significantly negative correlation (p〈0. 05). Bromine and zinc had no correlation with the weights of the species. There also existed a significant positive correlation between Ca and K, Se and Ni, Cu, Br and Zn and St and K. We conclude that African cuttlefish, irrespective of size is a rich source of nutritional elements and is especially recommended for pregnant women and for all age groups.

    Description: This study set out to investigate the participation of women in fisheries in some fishing communities in Wamakko Local Government Area of Sokoto state. It succeeded in establishing the fact that women are active though to some extent in fisheries in this area. This is as a result of the prevailing socio-cultural, as well as religious set up which revolves round task sharing. It however highlighted the fact that women's contribution in the fisheries sub-sector is necessary to improve their livelihood and by so doing, to directly help households.

    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: Scientists and researchers agree that developmental projects should have impact on the targeted groups. In this context a review was made on the indigenous knowledge system in fishery with a view to elucidating the indispensability of the system due to the increasing acceptance globally. The importance of the system and the factors militating against it where shown. The relationship between fisheries science and the fisher's knowledge was also discussed. Some indigenous practices as well as equipment used by different people were cited. It was concluded that local knowledge of the environment and resources used, as well as the society within which the resultant goods and benefits are distributed is fundamental to the continuity of sound community based management practices. Recommendation was made for research to be conducted in every facet of fishery traditional system with a view to fusing the two; the indigenous and scientific to complement each another.

    Description: Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) were experimented in Lake Kainji using worn out automobile lyres and cement blocks for a period of 12 weeks. Six tyres and blocks were tied together separately in 3 replicates and randomly suspended in the lake at a depth of 2 metre and 50 meter interval. After 8 weeks of suspension, a fleet of gillnets with 76mm mesh size and hung at E-value 0.5 were zigzag set across the suspended FADs for 12 fishing periods with 13 hrs soak time (~c1.0268.D.) per period The trial showed that the cement block FADs attracted more fish (70% of the total fish caught) belonging to 6 different species. The lyres FADs attracted only 3 species of fish constituting some 30% of the total fish caught Citharinus citharus dominated the catch of the block FADs constituting 52.3% of the total catch, while Oreochromis niloticus was 46.4% of the tyre FADs. The Horizontal Enhanced Fishing Zone (EFZ) was found to be between 5 to 12 metres from the location of the FADs. There was significant different (P〈0.05) in the catches of the two FADs.

    Description: Studies on the effects of two fishing baits on the catch composition of Malian Traps in Lake Kainji were monitored. The Traps were set at Monia fishing village in the southern basin of the Lake Baited with boiled yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and fresh palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis) and were inspected twice daily for seven weeks. The fishes caught comprised of nine (9) species belonging to four (4) families. The result of analysis of variance of the biomass as well as number and percentages of fishes caught in the traps by the baits showed there was no significant difference (P〉0.05). However, both baits showed better efficiency for Tilapia zilli, Oreochromis niloticus and Hemichromis fasciatus than other species caught but trap baited with fresh palm fruit had better efficiency for Distichodus restratus and Alestes nurse. There was wide range between the minimum and the maximum size of species caught, which showed the efficiency of the traps capturing small size, juveniles and the adult of large fish species due to small mesh size (1'') net cover of the trap. Recommendations were made for better performance and profitable fishing of Malian traps.

    Description: Lake Njuwa has a historical and cultural heritage and has been a veritable source of livelihood to the people of Yola town on the South-western side, and Rugange village on the North-eastern side of the lake. Many Rivers and streams flow into the Lake. From the South Western side River Chouchi and Mayo Chudde; from the South Eastern side by numerous streams such as Mayel Lumo, Mayel Kalwa, Mandare streams and many other small streams (about five) drain into Njuwa Lake. The major contributor to the Lake is a "neck" in the North Eastern side of the Lake which emanates from Benue River. When River Benue is full especially when Lagdo spill gates are open in September, the neck allows water from the back-flow of Benue to enter the Lake and with it comes the recruitment of the Lake's fish species diversity Preliminary investigation revealed that Njuwa Lake despite its numerous environmental problems which sometimes leads to its complete drying, has very ideal limnological parameters for fish production. Njuwa was reported to be 17.5km2 (17500m2) before the construction of Lagdo dam on River Benue on the Nigeria-Cameroon boarder by the Cameroonian Authorities and the numerous irrigation projects around the Lake and River Benue. As at December 1981 however, aerial photos showed that it had shrunk to 3.5 km (3,500m2). As at November 2004, it has completely dried up. It was reported that cars could actually drive through on the dry bed of the Lake. The average depth of the Lake is around 0.5 meters and the water is very turbid. Farming around the Lake has triggered a higher level of deposit into the flood water which serves as silting material for the Lake. This is in addition to farm chemicals run off from the rain fed and irrigated crop, increasing the nutrient supply to lake's water thereby leading to accelerated eutrophication with it adverse consequences. Fish species diversity is also very high from on site report. Therefore the lake offers a unique potential for both artisanal fishing and fisheries tourism through the resuscitation of the cultural fishing festival despite the environmental degradation that it has suffered over the years. In view of the great prospects of the Njuwa Lake basin, if properly developed for its multidimensional benefits to the local economy in tourism job creation, food security, livelihood diversity and environmental improvement, the development of the lake basin on a holistic basis is highly recommended. The process should capture and involve the interest of all stakeholders around the Lake.

    Description: The food and feeding habits of Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis caught in River Rima and Goronyo Dam in North western Nigeria were investigated A total of four hundred and fifty four (454) fish samples were collected on monthly basis from October, 2001 to September, 2002 are examined for feeding adaptations and gizzard content. The mouth is terminal in studied species. Two types of teeth were identified viz; cardiform and molariform. The gill rakers were 0.09~c 0.04cm in length with 0.010~ccm interspacing. The compartment of gut included gizzard-like stomach. The gut length and fish length (GL-TL) indicated rectilinear positive relationship. The regression coefficient (b) and correlation coefficient (r) of the gut length fish length relationships were significant (p〈 0.05). The main taxa of food items identified included substances of plant and animal origins, with overall percentage occurrence of 69.8 and 20.7% for samples from River Rima and 59.1 and 20. 0% for those from Goronyo Dam in the same order. During the dry season, the frequency occurrence of plant substances were higher in the juveniles (〈30cm, TL) 70.9% and adults (=30cm, TL) 64.7% in River Rima than the values obtained in samples from Goronyo Dam. Their occurrences in Goronyo Dam were fairly higher in the adults (62.9%) than in the juveniles (53.6%) during the same season. The results of this study showed higher occurrence of plant materials in juveniles than in the adults from the two water bodies during the rainy season. Contrary to this, low frequency occurrence of substances of animal in the juvenile samples from River Rima (15.2%) and Goronyo Dam (17.1%) were obtained in adult samples, the occurrence of animal substances were more than those of plants from the two seasons and water body. The feeding adaptive features revealed the ecological roles of the fish species that could be useful in satisfying their food requirements in culture systems and for teaching and further research.

    Description: The potentials of some medicinal plants that enhance fertility in animals were highlighted. Though, these medicinal plants can be used for other purposes but this paper focused on the fertility potential of the plants on animals. Some of the plants such as date palm (Phoenix dactylifera), wild yam (Discorea villosa) and Focus capensis had been discovered to enhance fertility in rats, monkey and poultry. Therefore if these medicinal plants could work on rats and poultry for fertility enhancement, the plants could as well be tried on fish so as to enhance the fecundity and sperm production in female and male brooders which will eventually lead to increase in fish seeds production. However, research is on going on the use of some medicinal plants to enhance fecundity and sperm production in male and female brooders in order to increase fingerlings production which would subsequently lead to increase in fish production.

    Description: Socio-cultural impact of tourism has become a veritable tool for fisheries development in Nigeria. Little wonders that Nigeria who has a great potential in tourism and rich cultural heritage and notable festivals attracts tourist not only in Nigeria but other parts of the World are not fully explored. Among many other popular festivals is the Niger Delta holds the Ikwere, Kalabari and Obirika festivals, to celebrate the water head dress that imitate the heads of fish or water birds. Many communities, including those in north, have a version of the harvest festival. Also in the north, the Argungu fishing festival occasion takes place in Argungu, in Birnin Kebbi State, during February and dates back to the 16th century. During the festival, hundreds of local men and boys enter the water armed with large fish net scoops, and the competition is to catch the biggest fish. With a population of almost 140 million people comprising of over 250 ethnic groups, Nigeria is a blend of exciting socio-cultural diversity that has produced a land of un parallel opportunities for fisheries development.

    Description: Length weight relationship and its parameters are requiring in practical assessment of stocks of aquatic species. The exponent b describes the growth condition of the species in question. If the value of b is 3 around 3, the fish is said to exhibit isometric growth if the value of b is less or greater than 3 the species is said to exhibit isometric growth if the value of b is less or greater than 3 the species as exhibiting both isometric and allometric conditions. Such conclusions are erroneous and misrepresentation of scientific facts. They stem from the use of inappropriate methods in estimation of the LW parameters and the authors? lack of understanding of the biological theory behind the growth conditions. To correct these erroneous presentations, the paper highlights the appropriate approach for the estimation of the LWR parameter. Large sample size. Wide size range and appropriate statistical tools are essential ingredients for accurate estimation of the LW parameters. The paper also elucidates on the concept of isometric and allometric growth in fishes and other invertebrates. A minimum of one year time scale of data collection in order to capture all the size ranges, from the young of the year to the oldest individual in the population, so as to reflect the ontogenetic growth performance of the aquatic species, have been proposed

    Description: A total of eighty nine samples comprising 45 B. bayad and 44 M.rume from River. Rima were subjected to evaluation of rigor-mortis occurrence and dissolution; Total weight and total length of the species were measured using electric top loading balance (16000gm) and measuring board, respectively. Stop watch and calibrated thermometer were used for recording time and temperature to determine rigor mortis duration and temperature effect. The results showed that the duration from capture to dissolution of rigor was higher in M.rume than B. bayad, despite the fact that temperature ranges were similar. Factors such as size distribution and level of exhaustion might have contributed to the variations. In the light of the above, it is recommended that factors resulting to rapid exhaustion of B. bayad be looked into with a view to lowering it and subsequent elongation of the rigor period.

    Description: Studies on the relationship between the rainfall, water levels and floods in Asa Dam Ilorin, Kwara State Nigeria was carried out for twelve months to determine the impact of these parameters on the supply of fish species from this dam to Ilorin and environ. Maximum rainfall (26.14 cm) was in September. The range values of rainfall recorded during this research was zero (November / February) to 26.14 cm (September). Water levels were lowest in April (11.40 m) and highest in September (12.80 cm). Increased water levels commenced from May (11.90 m) to October (12.60 m). The flooding of the dam began as from August when the dam spillway began to overflow. Assessment of fish catch from six fishermen around the lake showed significant increase in the fish supply at the dry season when water levels were low than the wet season (P 〈 0.05). Rainfall and water levels were negatively correlated.

    Description: The highlights of the Fisheries Assessment Survey conducted at Yamama Lake in Kebbi State, North-western Nigeria in 2005 is presented. There were 17 fish species found in fishermen's landings during the survey period. About 25 fishermen were found using undersized nets to catch the juveniles of these species. Fishing pressure was found to be very high. The lake is 900 m in length and 195 m wide giving a surface area of about 18 hectares. For an optimum catch, about 4 fishermen ought to have engaged in full time fishing activities if the fisheries of the lake are to be managed on a sustainable basis. However, a surplus of over 100 fishermen was recorded actively fishing during the period of the assessment. All these have a depleting effect on the abundance and sizes offish caught from the lake. A community based fisheries management system, which establishes a participatory involvement of fishermen in the conservation and rational exploitation of fisheries resources for the well being of the stakeholders is recommended for the Lake.

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

    Description: Synodontis membranaceus was subjected to fermentation for a period of one month with varying concentration of ginger (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) and 20% salt as spices to produce a paste. It was buried underground at 34 +-3~?C and analyzed for proximate composition, pH, microbial load, and organoleptic properties at the beginning and end of the fermentation. Results show steady increase in nutrients such as crude fat, ash, and NFE (nitrogen free extract) but decrease in crude fiber. There were fluctuations in the crude protein of the fermented samples, an evidence of fermentation. There was an increase in the microbial load of the different treatments and a slight decrease in the moisture content. The organoleptic analysis also showed preference for taste, aroma, and overall acceptability for 20% ginger and a significant difference (p〈 0.05) was observed in the taste scores for salt only and 20% ginger.

    Description: Content of fishery in agricultural activities of rural women was carried out in Kukawa L.G.A of Borno State. A total of 96 respondents were randomly interviewed with the aid of structured questionnaire and data presented with descriptive statistical tools. In addition to reproductive role in marriage, women are actively involve in agriculture for economic benefit, but weak socio-economic variables need to be strengthen for improve productivity and economic benefit. Fishery (10%) has a low content in the agricultural activities of rural women which is dominated by crop farming and agricultural processing. Poor annual financial return of N19, 585.33 on average as reward for long period of 8 hours on average put in agriculture is discouraging. Diversification into fish marketing and process provides avenues for viable daily income to the women in the area. Identified constraints are extension delivery, financial poverty, farm land, technological input and infrastructure. Opportunities to empower rural agricultural women include social capital formation, co-operative group, access to fertile farm land, pro-active extension information dissemination as well as participation in government programmes like on-going fadama and agricultural credit schemes.

    Description: One of the greatest challenges in Nigerian rural development process particularly in the fishing communities, which are often isolated and vulnerable, is to address the constraints that exclude people from full participation in the management of their financial resources. Majority of fishers dwell along the margins of Lakes, Rivers and Creeks and mostly operate without dependable financial resources, business loans or a safe place to keep their savings. This, to a greater extent, inhibits their growth and expansion to the realization of formalized entrepreneur's status that constitutes a set-back to the sector and the National economy at large. However the recent economic transformations in the country pursue microfinance not only as a poverty alleviation tool but also as a sound and viable business. This paper reviewed the concept of microfinance, its implementation, roles, constraints etc. to serve as a guide for adoption and utilization amongst the artisanal fisher folks with the view to increasing their general well-being on a sustainable basis.
