    Description: Fish is one of the most nutritious diet on earth, and contributes a considerable proportion of its protein to the Nigerian populace. Fifty-four specimens composing of six samples from each species, were analyzed in frozen and smoked states, monthly. Each set of six specimens were cut into two equal parts and randomly re-arranged into two groups. One group was smoked while the other was preserved in the freezer (at-2~'C) for 5 days. The highest moisture content was observed in frozen samples of Mormyrops deliciosus thus: (77.14 ~c 11.05%). Smoked O. niloticus had the highest protein content (26.79 ~c 0.74%) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (13.37 ~c 2.57%). Smoked samples of Oreochromis niloticus recorded the highest fat content accounting for a value of (25.97 ~c 0.51 %) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (7.97 ~c 0.45%). It could be concluded that while frozen samples loosed nutrient, smoked ones gained nutrients in all three species. The study recommends that fish be consumed in their smoked state, in preference to frozen ones, in response to higher nutritive value. Oreochromis niloticus which recorded the highest nutritive value in crude protein content, should be consumed more, followed by Labeo coubie and Mormyrops deliciosus in that order.

    Description: Studies of food and feeding ecology are important to investigate trophic interrelationships of fishes in their resident water bodies. These are usually achieved using various important methods. However because no single measure gives an overall representation of the feeding habits of fish, best results are achieved only when methods are used to complement one another. This paper reviews various methods used in studying trophic fish ecology and suggests consolidation of the traditional or basic methods with relevant statistical indices and local ecological knowledge. More advanced methods are also proposed as valuable tools because they compensate for some possible errors that may arise from the use of quantitative methods.

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

    Description: Study was conducted on the reproductive efficiency of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus of the Cross River. The objective was to determine the influence of age on eggs size and fecundity. Forty four females of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus were sampled from April, 2011 to March, 2012. Fecundity and eggs size were measured in relation to fish size. The relationship between egg size and fish size produced a parabolic curve. This implies that younger fish and older fish were less efficient in terms of eggs size and quality while the middle aged fishes were more efficient in terms of eggs size and quality. Similarly, there was an inverse curvilinear relationship between number of eggs per unit weight and somatic weight of the fish. Younger fish are less efficient because of the physiology of growth, while the older fishes are less efficient because of reproductive senescence. Management strategy for the stock therefore requires the conservation of the middle aged individuals for increase in reproduction. Also in aquaculture the middle aged class should be used as broodstock for excellent results.

    Description: A study was conducted on the length-weight relationship and condition factor (k) of 6,254 fish samples representing 20 species belonging to 11 families of important marine fishes off Lagos coast, Nigeria. They were collected with a trawl net (cod-end 20mm mesh size), trawled at different depth ranging from 10m-100m between May and June 2009. The estimated 'b' value (regression coefficient) of the equation W = aLb ranged between 2.29 and 3.46 with mean and mode values of 2.78 ~c 0.28 and 2.79 respectively while the 'a' value (regression constant) ranged between -2.6019 and -0.9023 with mean value of -1.6899 ~c 0.40. The condition factor (k) ranged between 0.52 and 11.89 with mean values of 2.71 ~c 2.64. Fish species of Nigeria coastal water are dominated by Pseudotolithus senegalensis which is about 13.4% of the total fish samples and their growth trend is mostly isometric (exhibit dimensional equality of the body parameters). All the species studied are in good condition (k〉 0.5).

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

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

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

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

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