    Description: An investigation was carried out into the growth performance and nutrient utilization of common carp fingerlings in New Bussa, Nigeria, at the Hatchery Complex of National Institute of Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR). The Carps were purchased from Jos, and transported to New Bussa, acclimatized for two weeks and stocked in outdoor concrete tanks measuring 2mx2mx1m containing filtered water to the level of 0.5m. Average weight and total length at the time of stocking were 40.80g and 6.30g respectively. The fish were stocked in four treatments, each replicated thrice at varying stocking densities of 3, 6, 9 and 12fish/m2 respectively. The fish were fed 35% crude protein formulated feed at 5% biomass and each daily feed was divided into two equal parts and fed manually by 9.00am and 6.00pm. Quantity of feed adjusted according to weight gain. Biweekly sampling was carried out for a period of 8 weeks, their morphological studies carried out. Weight gain, total length and feed consumed were recorded. Water parameters were monitored every sampling day. The result revealed that there is significant difference (P〈0.05) in all the parameters. The group with 48 (12 fish /m2) density exhibited significantly (P〈0.05) poorest weight gain and there was no significant difference (P〉0.05) between 12 and 24 stocking (3 and 6 fish/m2) densities as far as weight gain is concern. All other parameter; SGR, length, weight gain and feed consumed were also significantly different (P〈0.05). The treatment with 12fish/m2 showed significantly (P〈0.05) poorest feed conversion ratio (FCR). The treatment with stocking of 3 and 6fish/m2 performed best, therefore this stocking range is recommended in this zone. Acquiring of carp from colder region to hotter region is better done in the peak of raining season and to be transferred to earthen pond before hot weather resumes.

    Description: An experiment was carried out to find out the comparative effect of imported fish meal, blood meal and local fish waste based diets on the growth and survival of juvenile tilapia. (O. niloticus) in concrete tank. Four diets consisting of N.I.O.M.R. pelleted feed containing 40% CP, with imported fish meal, as the control and three others formulated with fresh, boiled cattle blood and local fish waste meal at 30% CP, were fed to juvenile tilapia with average initial weight of 55.24g in four treatments and four replicates in a completely randomized design. Result indicated final body weights of 100.83, 96.54, 98.4 and 86.82g and average body length of 18.47, 18.16, 18.4 and 18.14cm, for treatments 1 (control), 2 (fresh blood based diet), 3 (boiled blood based diet) and 4 (local fish waste meal based diet) respectively, with no significant difference between the treatments (P〉0.05). The same was also true for average daily weight gain of 0.41, 0.36, 0.31 and 0.28g. However, treatment 1 and 2 had better relative weight gain 93.69 and 80.21%, than 3 and 4 at 62.37 and 64.85% respectively, (P〈0.05). The survival was 100% in all treatments. Treatment 2 was more cost effective at N539.06/Kg fish, followed by 1 with N667.52. Treatments 3 and 4 had the highest at N698.20 and N718.60 per kg fish. The trial showed that tilapia feed processed with fresh cattle blood performed as well as imported fish meal, boiled blood and local fish waste and in addition was more cost effective.

    Description: Growth (Percentage weight gain, Specific growth rate , total body length), survival rate and condition factor of Heteroclarias fry fed shell free Artemia, cultured Moina micrura and mixture of both as starter feed were investigated. 30 individual fry were placed in a 4-litre plastic bowl in three treatments of 3 replicates for 25 days in Fish Hatchery. Individual water quality parameters (water pH, temperature, Dissolved oxygen, total Alkalinity and carbon dioxide) monitored for each treatment were not significantly different (p〉0.05) from each Heteroclarias fry fed live M. micrura had the highest percentage weight gain (496.03%), Specific growth rate (3.09), percentage survival rate (88.83%) and condition factor (39.75) but these results were not significant different (P〉0.05) from those of shell free Artemia except those of condition factor. Shell free Artemia and Live M. micrura combination was observed to have the lowest fry Percentage weight gain (428.30%),. specific growth rate(2.54), % survival rate (85.50), condition factor(24.39) and total body length(1.52cm). The highest total body length was observed in shell free Artemia although not significantly different (p〉0.05) from others. The implication of using cultured live M. micrura instead of shell free Artemia as starter diet for Heteroclarias hatchlings at the critical stage of development are discussed

    Description: Feeding trial was conducted in static water to assess the growth of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings fed different inclusion levels of Mucuna seed meal (MSM). Raw MSM was used at 10%, 20% and 30% inclusion levels and the performance of fish fed these diets was compared with the fish fed soybean-based diet which contained 40%protein. All diets were prepared to be isonitrogenous and isocaloric. A four by six factorial experiment with three replicates using ten fish each of average initial weight of 6.6g was carried out. Daily fish ration of five percent body weight was administered two times for twelve weeks. The specific growth rate (SGR) in diet 1 (control) was significantly (p〈0.05) higher than the other dietary groups and worsens as inclusion level increased similar trend was also observed in the food conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). The significantly lower growth performance of fish fed diets containing raw MSM might be due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors present raw MSM. The possibility of improving this trend through processing should be investigated.

    Description: Clarias gariepinus (0.73 ~c 0.01g) and Heterobranchus longifilis fingerlings (0.67 ~c 0.01g) were fed five isonitrogenous diets of about 40% crude protein, with varying levels (0-100%) of palm grub meal for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, C. gariepinus and H. longifilis fingerlings fed 25% palm grub inclusion diet had the highest weight gain (5.30g and 4.05g respectively), relative (726.0% and 595.6%) and specific (1.09% and 1.00%) growth rates while those fed 100% palm grub inclusion diet showed least growth; weight gain (2.68g and 2.15g), relative (367.1% and 316.2%) and specific (0.80% and 0.45%) growth rates respectively. Food conversion and protein efficiency were also best in fingerlings fed 25% palm grub meal diet (0.70 and 1.35 for C. gariepinus; 0.75 and 1.35 for H. longifilis respectively) with decreasing efficiency as palm grub inclusion level increased in the diets. The differences in the growth and nutrient utilization of the fingerlings on the various diets were generally insignificant (p〉0.05) above 25% inclusion level of palm grub. The study showed that palm grub can be used to completely replace fish meal in mudcatfish diets. However, for optimal growth and nutrient utilization, 25% level of replacement of fish meal with palm grub meal is most adequate in C. gariepinus and H. longifilis fingerlings diets.

    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: Five pairs of brood stocks of Oreochromis niloticus (average weight of 350 ~c 25.8g) in a ratio of 1:1 male to female were used for the fry production to examine the prospect of utilization of safer and natural extract (Tribulus terrestris) as sex reversal agent in tilapia population control. Four hundred and fifty day-old fry were randomly distributed into 18 experimental tanks (30 litres capacity) representing five test diets (50% crude protein) containing varying inclusion levels of Tribulus terrestris extract at 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5g per 1kg of basal feed while diet six contain 50mg per 1kg of basal feed of 17-a-methyltestosterone (MT) served as the control diet. The growth performance parameter indices measured were Mean Weight Gain (MWG), Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Specific Growth Rate (SGR). At the end of the study, the survival rates and sex ratio were also measured and recorded. Data collected were subjected to 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) where significant means were tested using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at p = 0.05.
