    Description: Sixteen (16) weeks feeding trial in a randomized design with three replicates was conducted to study the response of 180 Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings to baobab pulp as a source of vitamin C. They were fed a basal diet without supplemental vitamin C in the first 2 weeks of conditioning to deplete some stored acrobate. Diets supplemented with 1008 mgascorbyl-2-monophosphate Mg2+ (AMP) kg-1 diet (diet 1); 84g baobab pulp kg-1 (diet 2) and 168g baobab pulp kg"1 diet (diet 3) were evaluated. There was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in terms of weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate and survival between the groups fed diets 1 and 3. There was a significant difference between the groups fed diet 2 and either of the other diets. Total ascorbate concentration of the liver was significantly (P〈0.05) higher in the groups fed diet 3. The crude protein content of the final fish was significantly (P〈0. 05) higher in the groups fed diet supplemented with AMP. Interestingly none of the groups exhibited the characteristic symptoms of vitamin C deficiency. The results of this experiment suggest that Oreochromis niloticus was able to obtain vitamin C from the baobab pulp and tend to recommend baobab pulp at a level not less than 168g kg-1 diet in the nutrition of Oreochromis niloticus based on the condition of this study.

    Description: Ekiti State has limited water surface area but blessed with some rivers and seven big reservoirs on which some artisanal fishery is being carried out by over 400 fisher folks. Fish farming in Ekiti state is largely dominated by Clarias gariepinus culture. Interest in fish farming is on the increase as farmers construct concrete fish tanks as small as 1.5m2 as well as series of contour earthen ponds or tanks as big as 30m2. The total number of ponds has grown numerically from 96 at the inception of the state in 1996 to about 2000 in 2008. The move towards private/public partnership in aquaculture development will improve the economic and nutritional status of the region.

    Description: The effect of selenium supplementation into diets of Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings was investigated using a completely randomized design with triplicates in a mini-flow through experimental system. 245 fingerlings (mean wt., 1.5~c0.23g) were stocked and fed either normal (Basal) diet (Control group) or diets supplemented with 0.16, 0.24, 0.32 or 0.64 mg sodium selenite Kg-I Selenium addition to the diets and fed to the fish caused a significant increase (P〈0.05) in weight gain and fingerlings growth rate was accelerated by 18-22% compared to 17-18% in the control group. There were significant differences (P〈0.05) in survival rate between treatments, indicating that diets are likely to be responsible for increased survival rate, observed in fish fed diets supplemented with 0.24 and 0.32 mg Na2 Se03 5H2O kg-1 diet. Results indicated that a diet supplemented with, 0.24 and 0.32 mg of sodium selenite Kg-1 diet is important for growth and survival of H. longifilis fingerlings.

    Description: An investigation was conducted on the morphometric features and proximate body composition of rocky freshwater prawn, Caridina africana occurring at Erin-Ijesa Waterfalls in Osun State, Nigeria. The adult prawns were collected at the first layer of the Waterfalls using scoop nets and locally fabricated sieves because of the shallow nature of the water body and tiny size of the species. Morphometric features were measured using measuring board and Vernier calipers while the proximate analysis was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in the laboratory. The morphometric variables placed the species correctly into the Infra order Caridea and family Atyidae because the first and second chelipeds were shorter than the remaining three pairs of walking legs. Male prawns were significantly bigger (p〈0.05). than the females as revealed in the morphometric features. The proximate analysis showed that C. africana is composed of 58.79% protein, 5.42% lipid, 11.56% carbohydrate, 14.7% ash and 0.21 % crude fibre. The micro-nutrient composition included iron, zinc, copper, nickel and cadmium. The values for these nutrients make the study to suggest that C. africana could be a nutritive food bio-material for humans and other livestock nutrition especially the fin-fish aquaculture programme.

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

    Description: We studied the trophic attributes of the toadfish, Batrachoides liberiensis off the Qua Iboe River estuary Nigeria, between August 2008 and July 2009. The fish species has no well defined stomach; the intestine was used as gut. Gut contents analysis of 360 specimens of the toad fish revealed that 11 food items (Penaeus notialis, Sersama alberti, crayfish remains, unid fish, fish bones, fish remains, unid gastropod, insect remains unid clam and sand grains)] were ingested. The food items were re-assigned into 6 major ecological categories based on food ponderal index (%FPI): Pisces (FPI= 35.33%), Crustacea (FPI= 20.73%), unid Gastropoda (FPI=14.32%), Mollusca (FPI= 12.48%), Insecta (FPI= 11.64%) and FPI of 5.50% sand grains. Males were significantly higher in feeding intensity (Average gut fullness, AGF: t = 2.083, 358 df, P〈0.05) vis-a-vis the females. There were similarity in rank-order of the seasonal dietaries (spearman-rank correlation: rs = 0.871, P〈0.02). Sex ratio was male-biased. B. liberiensis in the Qua Iboe estuary is carnivorous, exhibiting affinity to piscine as major dietaries.

    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: Heterobranchus longifilis juveniles (93.42 - 147.77g) used for this study were product of an indoor experiment in glass aquaria transferred to outdoor tanks. This study is therefore, a continuation of the indoor study using the same feed for the fish outdoors for 230 days. They were stocked in ten concrete tanks, of sizes 2m X 2m. The fish were stocked according to the number harvested from the indoor experiment for each treatment. The experimental diets were prepared with fish meal, soybean, groundnut cake, wheat offal, yeast, premix, starch, vitamin C and Vitamin B-complex to meet the requirement of H. longifilis. The analyzed crude protein in each diet was 42.56%, 43.32%, 4369%,43.86% and 43.98%. There was significant variation (p〈0.05) in the Mean Final Weight (MFW), Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and Percentage Survival (PS). The survival of the fish was highest with the fish fed 2g yeast/I00g of diet and this was not significantly different from fish fed 1g yeast/ 100g diet. The cost of production of one kilogram of fish using varying levels of S. cerevisiae in diets varied significantly (p〈0.05).

    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.
