    Description: A study of the fish biodiversity integrity of Ebonyi River was conducted from September 2006 to February 2008 to generate fundamental data needed in Fisheries policy formulations and to assess the potential of the Fishery in enhancing quality food protein production. A total number of 1,080 fishes (comprising Fin-fish and shell-fish) were caught with hooks and lines of size 13, cast nets, gill nets and traps of mesh sizes of 50mm, 75mm and 100mm and identified using taxonomic keys. There were 39 species belonging to 20 genera and 14 families. Percentage gear catch composition was 43.6%,23.8%,17.7% and 15.3%for cast nets, gillnets, hooks and traps respectively. Zooplankton samples were also collected identified and analyzed using standard plankton analysis protocol. Cladocerans, rotifers, copepods and protozoans were represented in the identified species. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the overall significance of the monthly means of all parameters and in locations and also to establish their correlation characteristics. Fisher's Least Significant Difference (F-LSD) was used to separate the means and to rank them. Family Amphilidae and Malapteruridae were not significant (p~B0.05) in monthly occurrence. Family Bagridae, Cichlidae and Clariidae showed highly significant (p〈0. 01) monthly differences while the remaining fish families exhibited significant (p〈0.05) differences in months. It was observed that artisanal fisherfolks used fishing gears whose mesh sizes deplete juvenile fish. It was concluded that there is an urgent need for improved management strategies to enhance sustainable productivity of the inland river system.

    Description: The study was carried out for a period of three months from June to August, 2008. Five fishing villages namely Tatabu, Tsafa, Tunga Fulani, Tunga Sarkin ruwa and Lafiagi were used as study area by administering a total of 50 questionnaires (I.R. 10 questionnaires in each village). The study was conducted to assess the type of fishing gear mostly used by the fishermen in Tatabu floodplain. The greatest proportion (98%) of the fishermen interviewed were within age bracket 25-35 years. Majority of the respondents were Muslims and married form the highest percentage (60%). Three types of fishing gears, gillnet, long line and Malian Trap were used. The fishermen using gillnets had the highest percentage (44.2%) and those using Malian traps were the lowest percentage (23%). the fishermen using mesh size 50.8mm were highest (38.7%) and those are using mesh size of 101.6mmformed the lowest percentage (6.5%). The fishery crafts, 38% of fishermen use 4.3 meters length overall (LOA) and fishermen using 5.5 meters formed the lowest percentage (6%). Most of the respondents (88%) realized about N100-900 as daily income while 12% obtained more than N900 as daily income (54%) of the respondent. The problems militating against successful fishing activities includes lack of provision of social amenities, provision of loan and procurement of fishing inputs at subsidized rate.

    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: The length - weight relationships of two siluri formes Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus and Schilbe intermedius -from Owalla and Eko - Ende reservoirs were studied to provide useful information for the sustainable development of their fisheries. Length - weight data were analyzed, and LWR graphs were plotted using the sigma plot software. The b values in the LWR W = aLb varied between 3.01 and 3.58, revealing that the somatic growth of C. nigrodigitatus from Eko - Ende and that of Schilbe intermedius from both reservoirs had positive allometry, while C. nigrodigitatus from Owalla reservoir had an isometric growth. The maintenance of the ecological balance in the reservoirs will guarantee sustainable fisheries for these siluriformes.

    Description: This study was conducted to provide information on gonadosomatic index, fecundity and egg size on S. eupterus from River Rima, North-Western Nigeria, from November 2005 and December 2008. 1,610 samples, comprising of 781 females, 816 males and 13 samples whose sexes could not be identified were examined, giving a female: male ratio of almost 1:1. Gonadosomatic index (GSI), fecundity (F) and diameter of the oocytes (ES) were analysed. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between GSI, fecundity and egg size with total length (TL), total weight (TW), gonad weight (GW) and gonad maturation stages (MS). Six stages of gonad maturation were established. Mean GSI for female and males were 7.30 0~c6.16SD and 1.05~c1.23SD, respectively. It varied (P〈 0.05) with sex, size class and gonad maturation stage, and exhibited significant (P〈0.05) correlation with fish TL, TW and MS in females but not (P〉0.05) in males. Mean fecundity was 2834.45~c2530.87SD and it correlated most significantly (P〈0.05) with GW; and inversely with MS. Mean egg size was 1.31~c0.33mm. It has non significant (P〉0.05) relationship with TL, TW and MS but significant one (P〈0.05) with GW. Egg size distribution was bimodal, with different sizes of egg in ovaries indicating multiple spawning. This study provided baseline information on some aspects of reproduction which is important in the management of A. occidentalis in River Rima.

    Description: This study reports the microbial flora of differently processed tilapia fish obtained from Olomoore market, Abeokuta, Nigeria. Samples were purchased, differently processed (using smoking, salting, freezing) and analyzed for the presence of bacteria. Microbial loads and characterisation were examined on the gills and the skin using standard microbiological procedures. The progression of growth was also monitored within I0-day storage period for the differently processed fish. 〈i〉Proteus vulgaris, Leuconostoc meseritiroides, Klebsiella planticola〈/i〉, Pseudomonas spp, 〈i〉Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtitles〈/i〉, Enterobacter spp, 〈i〉Proteus vulgaris〈/i〉, Lactobacillus spp. were the bacteria isolated from the differently processed fish. There was no significant difference (P~B 0. 05) in the bacteria load of the gill during the first day of processing. However, significant variation (P~B 0. 05) existed in the bacteria load of the skin of the fish during the first day of processing. Although no significant difference (P~B 0. 05) was recorded in the bacteria load of the gill and the skin of the fish during the first day of processing in nutrient agar medium. In the tenth day frozen fish gill had the highest bacteria load while smoked fish gill had the lowest bacteria load there was significant difference (P~B 0. 05) in the bacteria load on the gill of differently processed fish gill. Similarly, there was significant variation (P~0.05) in the bacteria load of the skin of the fish during the tenth day processing.

    Description: Gymnarchus niloticus is the only species of the family Gymnarchidae. It is a popular food fish in most parts of Africa where it is greatly esteemed. In some culture, it is offered as a special gift to leaders during festive seasons, while in some others it is an important part of items presented by a suitor to the parents of a girl at the time of betrothal. It can therefore be inferred that G. niloticus is not only important as food fish with economic significance, but also plays vital roles in the socio-cultural life of some African tribes. The supply of this important species still depends largely on the catch from the wild. However, based on the method of catch, it has been classified as endangered. A close examination of the ecological factors in the floodplain (where it migrates to breed), revealed strong influence on the breeding and survival of the fish. The level of rainfall determines the extent of floodplain inundation, and the abundance and survival of the flora and fauna in the area. These in turn determine the availability of breeding substrates and natural food sources for the various stages of G. niloticus. Therefore, rainfall, the flora and the fauna of the floodplain play vital roles in the breeding and survival of G. niloticus in nature. To ensure the conservation of this important species, controlled propagation strategies that draws on the influence of prevailing ecological factors in the floodplain is recommended. This will ensure conservation, and protect the economic and socio-cultural significance of G. niloticus.

    Description: The shrimps were collected from three sampling sites: on the River Benue at Makurdi, Benue state, on the River Niger at Jebba and Lokoja and Idah at Kogi state from January to April, 2011. Macrobrachium felicinum and Atya gabonensis were sampled during this period, with Atya gabonensis occurring more abundantly. Condition factors of freshwater shrimps Atya gabonensis from the two water bodies in Nigeria range from 1.875for species in Jebba in March to 3.330 for Lokoja in March. The parameter ”b” of the length - weight relationship of the fresh water shrimps are less than three (rangingfrom 1.0233 for species from Lokoja in April to 2.7717 for species from Makurdi in Feburary). These values suggest negative allometric growth. The length frequency of freshwater shrimps sampled shows that peak populations of length groups occurred in April for species from Jebba and Makurdi while peaks occurred in January for species from Lokoja.Peak frequencies were observed in length of 4.0 - 5. 4cm and 8.5 - 9.9cm in January as well as 5.5 -6.9cm for species from Lokoja and in the group of 5.5 - 6.9cm in April for species from Makurdi and 7.0-8.4cm in April for both Makurdi and Jebba.

    Description: Geographic Information system and Remote Sensing in the field of marketing is used in this study to open up a wide range of its possible applications as the study assessed shellfish marketing in Kure Ultra Modern Market Minna Niger State. The aim was to develop a database of various shellfish product on sale at the market. The demographic profile, socio-economic characteristics of the marketers and problem associated with the marketing, 100 questionnaires were administered the analytical tool used were frequency distribution, tables, percentages and cost-benefit ratio. Returns from the interview and questionnaire were use to verify the result which depicts that both male and female were engage in the business with female forming the majority group (55%) and 45% men. Marketing of the shellfish was profitable which was attributed to realization of the significant of shellfish over meat. The high profit was recorded in raining seasoning (70%) while dry season sales were 30%. Species of shellfish marketed were crayfish, prawn, cockles, snail, shrimps and crabs. The study also shows that the shellfishes mostly sold are in fresh form (85%) while 15% are in dry form. Daily sales ranges from N1000-N5000, majority of the respondents (75%) patronize low-cost transportation means between N500-N1000. In every enterprise there must be a problem; most of the problem encountered by the respondents were lack of constant supply from the landing site which is mostly marine environment, inadequate storage facility, poor transportation, high tax charges and theft; all this attribute data and the co-ordinate of the selling point at the market were put into ArcGIS environment. Base on the findings, recommendations were profiled to the government and database kept for references.

    Description: Acceptance of fish spring roll produced from Tilapia and Catfish were evaluated in an attempt to explore the possibilities of better utilization of undersized Tilapia and Catfish species. The products were produced with cooked potatoes (20%) egg (0.5%), milk (0.21%), butter(10.47%), flour(41.87%), vegetable oil(16.75%), carrot(0.46%), pepper (0.04%), made up to 100% with 10% inclusion of Tilapia in Tilapia spring roll and Catfish in Catfish spring roll. Tilapia and Catfish were boiled in a boiling pot before deboning for 10 minutes and then mashed for 5 minutes. The vegetables were chopped and steamed in a steaming pot for 5 minutes. 41.87% of flour was mixed together with steamed fishes and vegetable and rolled out into cylindrical shape of one inch thickness, deep fried in 800ml of vegetable oil and then allowed to cool. The acceptance was evaluated with 25 man panel based on taste, flavor, colour and texture. 80% of the panelist preferred spring roll made from Tilapia to those made from Catfish. 90%$ like the texture and flavor of spring roll made from catfish than that of Tilapia. There was higher consumer acceptability for spring roll made from Tilapia. In the flavor and colour of the spring roll, there was no significant difference observed between rolls made from catfish and Tilapia. Commercialization of these products can contribute to diversification in the fish industry through better utilization of undersized Tilapia and Catfish.

    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: 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: 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: 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.

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 paper presents the preliminary result of the exploratory fishing for oceanic squid by automatic jigging method in the South China Sea Area III: western Philippines. This was part of SEAFDEC’s collaborative research survey on the fisheries resources of Area III with focus on tuna, oceanic squid and other migratory species. The research vessel M/V SEAFDEC covered 31 predetermined stations for oceanographic and fisheries survey, 10 of which were squid jigging stations. Jigging effort of four automatic jiggers at each station varied from 2-8 hours. The Indo-Pacific squid, Sthenoteuthis (Symplectoteuthis) oualaniensis (Lesson, 1830) was the only species caught throughout the fishing area. The total catch for 51.6 fishing hours consisted of 2538 individuals weighing 393.1 kg. The female-dominated catch had individuals with mantle length ranging from 9.8-24 cm and average weight of 155g. Catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) of automatic jiggers averaged 6 ind/line/hour (968 g/l/h) or 0.4 ind/jig/h (45 g/j/h). High concentration of squid was observed at the northern portion of the survey area. Catch rates were high within 0-100 m jigging depth. S. oualaniensis in Area III occurred in two forms: the dwarf, early-maturing form without dorsal photophore (9.8-12 cm mantle length;43 g average weight) and the middle-sized form with dorsal photophore (12-24 cm ML;174 g average weight). The middle-sized form dominated the catch representing 86% of the total catch. The dwarf form was less abundant in all catches but occurred throughout the area. The middle-sized and dwarf forms had total weight of 377.5 kg (2175 individuals) and 15.6 kg (363 individuals), respectively. The females were dominant in both forms. The biomass of S. oualaniensis standing stock in the SCS Area III was estimated at 283 thousand metric tons.

    Description: Zooplankton samples from 31 stations in the western Philippines water were collected by M.V. SEAFDEC on 7 April - 19 May 1998. Six major groups were identified: Euphausiacea, Natantia (Penaeidea and Caridea), Reptantia, Brachyura, Stomatopoda and cephalopod paralarvae. Three genera of Euphausiacea were found, they belong to one family: this group formed 25.1% - 90.9% of total taxonomic groups at different stations. The superfamiiy Penaeidea consisted of seven genera belong to four families. Caridea larvae were composed of 11 families including 19 genera. Retantia consisted of three infraorder: Stenopodidea, Thalassinidea and Parinuridea. The infraorder Parinuridea comprised two families: Palinulidae and Scyllaridae. Fourteen families of Brachyura larvae occurred in the study area. Stomatopoda was composed of three families including three genera. Cephalopoda paralarvae were presented in the plankton samples by six families representing eight genera. The maximum counts for malacostraca larvae and cephalopod paralarvae was observed at station 16. The present study reveals that some economic species such as Penaeus spp., Parapenaeus spp., Panulirus spp., Scyllarus spp., Portunus spp. and Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis were important components of the zooplankton assemblages in the western Philippines.

    Description: The diamondback squid (Tysanoteuthis rhombus) is a potential resource popularized mainly for the export market in the Central Philippines and the positive results from other experimental activities. Exploratory fishing for the species using the giant squid jig was conducted on board MV SEAFDEC and MV Maya-Maya in the South China Sea (Western Philippines) to determine its occurrence, abundance and distribution in these areas. The gear employed is basically used in small boats hence, its operation on bigger vessels was very difficult. The result was discouraging with only one diamondback squid caught out of the 175 jigs set. The description and fishing operations of the gear are presented with comparison from other research and fishing results conducted in Camotes Sea, Calauag Bay, and Ormoc Bay which are considered potential areas.

    Description: Several species of oceanic squids are believed to occur in the South China Sea, especially off the west coast of the Philippines. Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis was one of the species that dominated the catch during the research survey off western Philippines in April to May 1998. Preliminary study was carried out on some biological features of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, particularly on maturity pattern, sex ratio and stomach content. There was a similarity in maturity pattern throughout the study areas with the same proportion of mature and immature squids. In all stations, the female squids outnumbered the male and the size of the female was general bigger than the male squids. ML50% of female was estimated to be at 175 mm while range of mature female was between 110 - 240 mm. Fish and cephalopods were the most frequently occurring prey taxa found in the diet of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, contributing between 37% - 46% and 30% - 43% respectively. Identification of prey taxa especially to species level was strictly limited, due to lack of proper references and understanding of the nature of fish species composition within the study areas. Results discussed in this paper may serve as early information for future biological study on S. oualaniensis.

    Description: Composition, abundance and distribution of ichthyoplankton were investigated in the South China Sea, western Philippines. Larval fish samples were collected at 31 stations by surface and double oblique tows in April/May 1998. A total of 7371.67 fish larvae, representing 85 families, were collected in the samples. Abundance of fish larvae were dominated by the Myctophidae followed by the Gonostomatidae. The ten most abundant families of fish larvae found in this study were separated into three broad categories: (1) inshore fishes, represented mainly by the Bregmacerotidae, Gobiidae, Apogonidae, and Carangidae;(2) mid zone fishes represented mainly by the Hemiramphidae, Labridae and Engraulidae;(3) offshore fishes represented mainly by the Myctophidae and Gonostomatidae. Depth and time of day appeared to affect the abundance of fish larvae and fish eggs. Fish larvae were found mainly in double oblique tows while fish eggs were found mostly in surface tows. The larvae caught at night were more abundant than larvae caught during the day. Abundance and distribution of tuna larvae are also discussed.

    Description: The need to improve fisheries information management in the region was recognized as early as 1982 when SEAFDEC, in collaboration with IDRC, organized the Seminar on Fisheries Information Science in Southeast Asia. During the Seminar, existing fisheries information systems at the national, international, and regional levels were identified, and corresponding problems and constraints were discussed. The recommendation to strengthen the national information services and to promote regional cooperation/collaboration with a view to improving effective transfer of fishery information within and outside the region was considered. As a sequel to the 1982 Seminar, the SEAFDEC Secretariat organized the SEAFIS Regional Seminar on Fishery and Aquaculture Information Systems in Southeast Asia, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 7 to 10 February 1989. The list of participants and observers, and the Agenda appear as Annexes 1 and 2. The objectives of the Seminar were to review the current status of fishery and aquaculture information systems in the region, and to determine future activities in order to strengthen collaboration between various information sources in Southeast Asia. The Seminar also aimed to determine the appropriate training programs which could enhance development of fishery information systems in the region as well as improve information management.

    Description: Work was undertaken on fish taxonomy of marine fish found in Vietnamese waters in order to revise the “Field guide to important commercial marine fishes of the South China Sea”. Two field surveys were carried out at 9 separate locations from April 23 to May 17, and 2 other locations from September 20-26, 1999. A total of 442 specimens of fish from 107 different families were collected and photographed. Among the 442 specimens, 336 specimens were successfully identified to the species level, 99 specimens to the genus level, and only 7 specimens to the family level. The sampling areas at Qui Nhon, Nha Trang and Phan Thiet provided the most number of samples of 96, 94 and 79 fish, respectively. A total of 348 fish were new candidates for the Field Guide. More field surveys are necessary to cover the rather extensive array of new fish specimens expected to be found in these waters.

    Description: A collaborative acoustic survey between the Research Institute of Marine Products (RIMP), Vietnam and the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) of SEAFDEC, was carried out in Vietnam waters from April, 29 to May, 29 1999. Survey was conducted by using the scientific echo sounder, FQ70 installed on board of MV SEAFDEC. Survey transects were designed perpendicular to the coastline with standard length of 60 nautical miles. The vessel was cruised at 10 knot and stopped at each station for oceanographical sampling. During cruising, the back scattering strength, SV were collected and saved in multiple storage media. SV values were verified during data analyses by removing any noise and scattering layers. The back scattering values by area (SA) is calculated and the fish density by transects are produced. Using those parameters, the biomass of pelagic is estimated based on representative species from the sampling program and national fisheries statistics. Pelagic biomass in Vietnamese waters was estimated at 9.26 x 106 tonnes with the average density of 15.93 tonnes/km2. This estimation is based on dominance species of Decapterus maruadsi.

    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: 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: The study examined women fish processors and marketers around Kainji Lake area. 150 respondents were selected from five fishing communities. The results revealed that 46 and 32 percents of the respondents were engaged primarily in fish processing and marketing to generate income to meet the need of the family. Majority (62%) of the respondents adopted the improved smoking kiln technology while only 22% of them still used the traditional sun-drying method. The prominent problem faced by women fish processors and marketers in the study area include difficulty in accessing credit facilities (rank 1). The chi-square analysis showed a non-significant relationship (P = 0.05) between adoption of improved fish processing technologies and marital (X2 cal = 0.252; X2 tab = 3.841); monthly income X2 cal= 7.815; X2 tab= 2.427) and educational X2cal= 7.815; X2 tab= 2.619) characteristics of the respondents. It is recommended that government should provide the women fish processors and marketers with credit facilities and modem fish processing equipment at subsidized rates.

    Description: Fifty samples of smoked fish were obtained from some markets in Lagos and these were analyzed for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio sp. and Listeria monocytogenes. All the samples tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, 27 samples for Vibrio sp. and none for Listeria monocytogenes. This study reveals that the smoked fish sold in Lagos, could be a potential source of food borne bacterial pathogens and thus the need for improvement in processing and handling are required.

    Description: The Atlantic Tarpon, Tarpon (Megalops) atlanticus is a marine fish of high commercial importance with a special fishery in western, central and south-western Atlantic Ocean where it is a very important game fish. The species provides sport fishery especially in the western Atlantic coast of America which has generated millions of dollars in tourism, employment and boat charters. Tarpon fishery in America is highly regulated and there are strict guidelines on capture, bag limits and fishing seasons. Tarpon puts up a spectacular fight when hooked, leaping up to 2-3m above water surface and landing with a smacking splash that can be heard one kilometer away. It is the leaping powers that make tarpon a favourite to anglers. In the coastal waters of south-west Nigeria especially for the natives of the coastal communities of Ondo State, T. atlanticus is a delicacy and of high economic value. Some local fishermen and fish farmers in the area stock Tarpon in their ponds purely for recreational purposes. Some of these tarpon farms were integrated with snack bars and served as tourist centres. Visitors including individuals and educational institutions frequent the fish farm during excursions and pay a stipulated fee per person as entry permit to the farm thereby generating more revenue to the farmer. This paper highlights the importance of Tarpon as a game fish and suggests strategies for development of its culture both as food fish and for ecotourism.

    Description: Design characteristics and mode of operation of purse seining off Orimedu fish Port was investigated between August 2007 and February 2008.Tha fish catch composition was also analysed. The purse seine net has the highest number of bundles. The mesh size ranges from 2.5 to 05.0cm.The purse seine net was highly selective fish target specific, catching mostly coastal pelagic fish species. Ten fish species belonging to 5 families were frequently encountered. Total weight of the fish landed was 444.50kg while the average weight of the catch landed per canoe was 30.53kg respectively. Ethmalosa fimbriata (Bonga fish) and Sardinella maderensis (flat sardines) dominated the catch with 2l1.00kg (45.40%) and 143.00(32.10%) by weight of the total catch. Chloroscombrus chrysurus (Atlantic bumper fish), Caranx hippo (Crevail jack), Sphyma couardi (hammer head shark) and Carcharhinus spp.(shark) contributed between 0.33-3.47% ofthe total fish landed by weight. Total length of the fish landed also indicated that the purse seine was highly selective and does not deplete the population of sub-adult's juvenile fish species. Salinity was found to be the most variable factor affecting abundance and subsequent catch of coastal pelagic fishes particularly Ethmalosa fimbriata during the dry season. This study revealed that over fishing of fish stocks may be avoided provided the same fishing pressure observed during this study period is maintained in terms of the number of fishing crafts, number of boat days or fishing and mesh-size of the purse seine fishing gear used.

    Description: A comparative analysis on biochemistry and Polyacryl Amide Gel Electrophresis was carried out to determine the genetic diversity of diploid and triploid Heterobranchus bidorsalis. Sixteen samples of diploid and triploid farm-raised (mean weight; 512.6g and mean length; 41.6cm) were collected and the electrophoresis analysis was conducted using 5.5% Polyacryl Amide Gel and serum protein obtained from the blood of the live samples. 0.06% Coomassie blue was used for staining the gel while a mixture of ratio 1:2 of glacial acetic acid, meethanol and distilled water was used for de-staining the gel. The diploid and triploid possessed an equal total number of 23 electrophoretic protein bands. The molecular phylogenetics of both samples revealed low genetic variability. Results of this study will serve as a baseline analysis on the current genetic diversity of H. bidorsalis in Nigeria.

    Description: A survey of the prices of fish in two major markets in Akure was conducted between October and December 2008 to compare the prices of the imported fishes and that of the farmed catfishes and tilapias. The survey covered the Erekesan and NEPA markets, Akure. Both structured questionnaires and oral interview were used in data collection. The results indicated that the price of farmed catfishes was highest and that that of the tilapias was marginally lower than that of the croaker. This is evidence of better acceptability of the farmed fishes. The summary of the results showed good future for aquaculture in Nigeria, as good markets exist for the produced fishes.

    Description: A 2.14 M length overall (LOA) flat bottom modern canoe (Sampan), was designed and constructed using locally available materials. The canoe features include easy construction, portability, least cost, light weight, shallow draft, and easy maneuverability. The light displacement (weight empty) was 25kg, which was less than local canoe of same size. When placed on water a draft of 5.5cm. The capacity of the canoe was 200kg, and the total production cost of N10, 000.00, ($67) which was not beyond the reach of an average fisher folks, or any fish farmer. The canoe was easily maneuvered when propelled by paddling as it floated at a shallow draft; this makes the canoe adequate for use on shallow water bodies such as ponds and reservoirs. The craft, because of its easy maneuverability, can also be used on shallow water bodies for recreational activities such as, sport fishing and canoeing.

    Description: Nigeria has vast expanse of mangrove ecosystem of about 1 million ha. Presently the total fish production from the artisanal, industrial, and aquaculture sectors is above 635,370 metric tonnes (mt) annually. The current fish demand in Nigeria is 1.66 mt hence leaving a deficit of about 1 mt which translates to about $1.6 billion on importation. Meanwhile, it has been estimated that if only 30-35% of the available mangrove areas suitable for aquaculture is fully harnessed, that the country has the potential to produce over 3 mt of fish annually from the sector. This means that Nigeria will be in a position to produce enough fish for the population and be export orientated too. The paper presents the challenges that militate against sustainable fish production in the mangrove ecosystems and the solutions for improved production.

    Description: The effect of baits, rice bran (Oryza sativa L.) and corn bran (Zea mays L.) on fish aggregation and catch efficiency of castnet in Lake Kainji was conducted. 25.4mm stretched mesh size multifilament (PA) nylon net was used for the construction of castnet. The experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications for nineteen consecutive fishing days. Three treatments were employed; castnetting after baiting with rice bran, with corn bran, and castneting without bait (control). Thirteen fish species were caught from eight families. The number of fish caught was 336, of which 48.5 and 27.1 % were caught with corn bran and without bait while castnetting with rice bran recorded the least (24.4%). The biomass of fish caught was 4627.7g (4.6kg) of which the highest percentages 51.4 and 28.6% followed same trend as that of number of fish caught. Comparison of the overall number and biomass of fish capture indicated that Tilapia zillii ranked highest, followed by Citharinus citharus and Hydrocynus forskalii.

    Description: This study aims at bridging the knowledge gap in respect of production and marketing of crab fisheries in Lagos lagoon complex of Lagos State, Nigeria. The data have been collated through specific survey carried out between August 2008 and April 2009 in each of the five lagoon systems of Lagos State including Badagry, Ologe, Lagos, Epe and Lekki lagoon. The production systems and targeted clientele of each lagoon differ greatly. The profit margin per unit weight retained at each stage of transaction was relatively low. The crab fishery was observed to be economically viable because of the large turnover and small size of individual operations. The crabs plays significant role in the livelihood of the fisher folks and are very important as export commodity in West Africa.

    Description: The effects of diesel-oil spillage of fresh (0.4ppt), brackish (25ppt) and marine (37ppt) waters on elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgf) of artisanal PVA synthetic twine of varied diameter (4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm) soaked for 16 weeks was studied. Chemical (solubility) test was carried out to identify the experimental twine as PVA among other synthetic twines. The elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgt) of PVA twine diameters were tested by tensile-strength gauge machine (0-200kg) and was carried out in unpolluted (control) and polluted states (spillage level) at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% diesel-oil concentrations of different water salinity. Factorial statistics was used to analyze the treatments; twine (at four levels), water salinity (at three levels) and concentrations (at six levels). This implies 4 by 3 by 6, replicated in four places (288 treatments). Results indicated that elongation (cm) and breaking load (kg) of the specimens were significantly (P〈0.05) influenced by twine thickness. Twine l0mm soaked in 3.0 litres of unpolluted freshwater had significant (p〈0.5) correlation coefficient r,0.927 and lowest r- value of 0.499 was obtained in twine 4mm soaked in 100% diesel-oil concentration. Significant (P 〈0.05) relationships were observed between the correlation coefficient r = 0.531-0.927 for unpolluted and r = 0.499-0.592 for polluted tests. The study revealed that diesel-oil spillage had negative effects on the quality of twines. The thicker the PVA twine diameters (10, 8, 6 and 4mm) at lowered (0%, 20%, 40%,60%,80% & 100%) diesel-oil spillage of fresh (0.4ppt), Brackish (25ppt) and Marine (37ppt) waters respectively, the higher the significant (P〈0.05) elongation (cm) and breaking load (kgt) were evaluated in most cases.

    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: A study was carried out on the fatty-acid composition of Macrobrachium vollenhovenii (African river prawn) in Ogun estuary, Ogun State, Nigeria. Sexes and size groups were considered during the study. Fatty-acid analysis was done in triplicates and data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and Duncan's multiple range tests. Fatty acids analysed which included oleic acid, linoleic acid,' stearic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid and lauric acid were classified into saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. All values of saturated fatty acids were higher in female (29.64%) than in male (25.50%) p〈 0.05. So also the monounsaturated fatty acid also showed higher value in female (29.64%) than in male (25.50%). All fatty- acid values were higher in female M. vollenhovenii than in male. Meanwhile, myristic acid was highest in the two sexes and the combined sexes, (35.68% female), (33.14% male) and (34.74% combined sexes). The fatty-acid components were not influenced by the size of the fish. This study clearly indicated that the nutritive value of M. vollenhovenii is quite well comparable to the edible species of decapods already studied (shrimps, prawns and lobsters) and could be included in both human and livestock diets.

    Description: A study with intent towards acculturation was carried out on the gut conients and feeding patterns of Macrobrachium vollenhovenii and Caridina africana occurring at Asejire lake and Erin-Ijesa Waterfalls respectively for two years using numerical abundance and frequency of occurrence methods of analysis. There was a strong correlation (p〈0.05) between prawn abundance and food availability, The gut content analysis of M. vollenhovenii revealed that juveniles were predominantly zooplanktivorous, feeding on copepods and rotifers while the adults were omnivorous, utilizing a wider variety of animal foods than plant materials. This changing of diets and patterns as the species advances in age has an implication for its culture potentials. Stomach fullness index was high during the wet season which coincided with high abundance of prawns, C. africana fed mainly on diatoms, zooplankton and other micro-phytoplankton, thus an onmivore with herbivorous tendency. The availability of both species in fresh water bodies and their foods revealed that both species can be cultured in earthen ponds since their unspecialized flexible dietary habit is an optimal strategy for sustained productivity.

    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 concentration of trace metals: Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), magnesium (Mn), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn) were determined in water, sediment and fish tissues (S. melanotheron) collected from Elechi creek in Port Harcourt, Nigeria between October and November, 2010. The overall mean concentrations of the trace metals (Mg/g dry weight) in all combined samples ranged from 0.06-0.24 (Cd), 0.59-2.39 (Pb), 0.08-1.15 (Mn), 0.15-0.48 (Ni) and 0.18-7.04 (Zn) respectively. The concentration of the trace metals in water, fish and sediments were in the following order: Pb 〉Ni 〉Zn〉Cd 〉Mn; Zn〉Pb 〉Mn〉Ni 〉Cd and Zn〉 Pb〉Mn〉Ni〉Cd respectively. Except in water, Zinc had the highest value while cadmium had the lowest value. Mn concentration in fish tissue was greater than WHO/FAO certified values. Correlation coefficients between pairs of metals concentration show that all metals positively correlate except Cadmium and Nickel. Elechi creek is not heavily burdened with metals, but aquatic environment should be monitored periodically to avoid excessive intake of trace metals by human.

    Description: Jabi Lake is a natural water body in Abuja Federal Capital Territory (FCT). It was expanded for commercial fishing following relocation of Nigeria's headquarters to Abuja in 1993. Quantitative analysis of microbiological status of water and fish from the Lake was carried out. Samples were collected from the dam site, open water, middle lake and inlet. Result reveal that total coliform count which are indicators of pollution are high (2.0 x 103 cfu/ml, 1.1 x 103 cfu/ml, 1.0 x 103 cfu/ml and 1.1 x 103 cfu/ml for dam site, open water, middle lake, and inlet respectively). Total viable count too is high (9.2 x 103 cfu/ml, 4.9 x 103 cfu/ml, 4.6 x 103 cfu/ml and 4.9 x 103 cfu/ml for dam site, open water, middle lake and inlet respectively). There are no coliform bacteria in the muscle of the fish. High bacterial load is an indication of biological pollution and these calls for restraint on the side of those who are using the lake as site for refuse dump.

    Description: Energy is one of the main concerns for the future development of any nation. It is by far the largest merchandise in the world and an enormous amount of it is extracted, distributed, converted and consumed in our global society daily .One major problem regarding agricultural produce is related to the product storage in the harvesting season, and identifying an alternative to marketing fresh produce. A useful option is to prevent wastage of produce by drying, using solar energy. In this regard, solar dryer for domestic as welI as industrial usage could be an effective alternative of saving conventional energy. Utilization of solar thermal energy through solar dryer is relatively in a nascent state in our country. This paper gives a description of the efforts made under several researches to design and develop some types of solar dryers.

    Description: A fisheries-dependent surveys was conducted to identify and quantify the species composition of shrimp by-catch and its effect on fishery sustainability. Samples were bought monthly, from October 2009 to June 2010 from landings site, at Apapa-Liverpool market Lagos. 25 fish species belonging to 18 families targeted in other inshore fisheries constituted the by-catch species. The percent of weight compositions of some economically important by-catch species were: Pseudotolithus senegalensis (5.76%),Ilisha africana (14.65%), Pentanemus quinquarius (2.94%), Pteriscion peli (6.60%), Galeoides decadactylus (3.17%), Cynoglossus senegalens is (6.76%) and Chloroscombrus chysurus (10.81%). About 80% of the shrimp by-catch species were juvenile fin fish. However, continuous harvest without appropriate mitigating measures poses a threat to sustainability of coastal capture fisheries. Recommendations are proffered in order to conserve the resources for sustainable development.

    Description: Human activities in natural environments are among the most important recreational needs. Monthly studies of tourism characteristics was conducted during wet and dry seasons, over a two year period in the three landscapes along the 6817.7m length of Agbokim waterfalls by using a close-ended pre-coded survey instrument. Through MANOVA analysis of the 1780 respondents, we found strong positive association between peoples visits to the recreational areas and the type of landscape in which the respondents felt happy. People who felt happier in landscape dominated by waterfalls, visit the middle reaches of the river for outdoor recreation more often, while people who feel happy in landscapes dominated by slow water current with an extensive wide area and floodplains, visit downstream reaches of the waterfalls more often. Activities performed more often along downstream reaches include fishing, bathing/swimming, boating and hunting while more frequent activities in the middle reaches (waterfalls) include taking photographs, picnics, enjoying nature, outing with family and friends, looking at view, resting and relaxing.

    Description: One way to diversify Nigeria's economy is to improve on agricultural activities with low import input but high export potential such as the promotion of the ornamental fish industry. Poecilia reticulata is one such fish species that enjoys international acceptability. However, a potential bottleneck in its international trade is the decertification of exports from Nigeria in the uncertainty of standing parasite fauna of locally available stock of Poecilia reticulata. Four Streets in different local government areas of Lagos State were identified with existing populations of P. reticulata where collection of samples with a scoop net was done before sorting into 60 male and 60 female individuals per wastewater drain from each Street was carried out monthly between March, 2004 and February, 2005. Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), water transparency and drain depth were measured with mercury-bulb thermometer, ARH-l CE electronic meter, Oxyguard electronic probe, secchi disc and calibrated pole respectively. Chi-square was used to test for sex-related differences in prevalence and ANOVA for differences in physicochemical analyses. Only 3.4% of the 4,320 samples examined were infected with C. cotti. There was no sex-related differences in the prevalence of C. cotti while only Dissolved oxygen (DO), transparency and drain depth were found to be significantly different among the wastewater drains on the four Streets. The highest prevalence of 15.0% was obtained in P. reticulata females obtained from Igi-Olugbin and Adenaike Alagbe Streets in September, 2004. High prevalence clustering, correlated with receding rains. However, mean monthly temperature, transparency and drain depth were significantly different across drain (p〈0.05). P. reticulata obtained from these four Streets can be further exploited for import substitution and export market since this prevalence level can be managed and does not rival records of C. cotti in other popular export sources in Asia.

    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 on threats to fish species conservation in Echara River, Nigeria was carried out from September 2009 to February 2011 to generate inferential data for Fisheries policy formulations to assess the potential of the Fishery to alleviate malnutrition among the poor in the rural communities, and use of the living resources for teaching and research. A total number of 709 fishes comprising of Fin-fishes and shell-fishes belonging to 13 families, 19 genera and 40 species were caught in 216 fishing efforts, at 10 days interval using hooks and lines (size 13), cast nets, gill nets and traps of mesh sizes of 50mm, 75mm and l00mm respectively. Fish identification was done using taxonomic keys. Evaluation of fishing methods of the Artisans within the basin was by visual survey and the use of structured questionnaires. It was observed that during the dry season, 55% of artisanal Fishers used obnoxious methods to catch fish, ranging from chemical toxicants (14%), unselective Fishing gears (35%) and direct draining (6%). It was concluded that there is an urgent need for monitoring the impacts of human activities on freshwater systems and to evolve appropriate implementable management strategies, backed up by political will to check anthropogenic impacts that have deleterious effects on the fishery.

    Description: A survey on the status of shrimp and prawn farming in Cross river state was carried out in March, 2011. The survey was conducted using structured questionnaires and visits to potential sites. Data obtained through the analysis of the questionnaires indicated that seventy seven percent (77%) of the respondents were within the age bracket of 2l-50 years which fell within the active age while ten percent (10%) of the respondents were above 60 years. The educational background of the respondents showed that forty percent (40%) had tertiary education, 5.7% had technical education, 28.5% secondary education and 11.4% had primary education. The survey revealed that there was no shrimp or prawn farming in the state at the time of visit. Majority of the shrimp production activities were mainly from the capture fisheries, including both artisanal and industrial fisheries. A number of fisher folk interviewed were very enthusiastic to venture into shrimp and prawn farming if the technology for the propagation of the species were made available to them. Successful development of shrimp/prawn culture technology and dissemination will enhance aquaculture production of the species thereby creating employment opportunities and alleviating poverty.

    Description: Itowolo is a fishing village being boarded with Lagos lagoon on nearly every side except the southern part which opened to the Ikorodu road from Mile 12 part of Agboyi - Ketu Local Council Development Area. During the raining season, the water level increases which possibly cause flood at heavy down pour while low water level of higher salinity during the dry season. The indigenes are primarily fisherfolks and they are effective in their fishing activities by having individual functional canoe ranging from small unmotorised paddled dugout type to outboard ones. The main gears used for fishing in the area are cast nets, gill nets, traps, hooks and lines among which cast net is prominently used Their landings during the raining season involve different species of fishes such as Heterobranchus species, Heterotis species, Channa species including others while tilapia of different species take the greatest percentage of their catches during the dry season. The shrimps top the population of catches between the months of July September. The dwellers during off fishing season engage in other economic activities that generate income such as petty trading, palm tapping, fuel wood trading, transport business, mat making, hairdressing, fashion designing, computer business centres and telecommunication vendors. In general, fishing activities are characterized by low unit productivity, intensive labour, relative low capital, low operational costs and limited gear coverage. High post harvest losses are usually experienced due to lack of suitable storage facilities which eventually lead to relative low profit.

    Description: Study of some Physico-chemical parameters and fish species composition of Doma Darn was carried out between the month of August 2012. Fishing communities along the dam were selected at sampling stations and collection of fish species. The values of physico-parameters obtained for stations were in the range of 28.10-92 m for depth, 27.70-28.48~'for temperature, 7.03-7.64 for PH, 7.23-7.64mg/l for dissolved oxygen (DO), 30.08-31.75 ntu for turbidity, 94.64-105.17mg/l for alkalinity and 79.17-80.58mg/l for total hardness. The result indicated that there was significant difference (p〈0.5)for depth, temperature turbidity and alkalinity, while there was no significant difference (p〈0.05) for DO, pH and water hardness among the stations. The result of these parameters among the duration shows that there was significant different (p〈0.05) in all the parameters except pH. The study revealed that there were twenty-five (25) fish species belonging to 12 families in the dam. The family Cichlidae and Mochokidae and Bagridae which has three each, While the family, Polypteridae, Channidae, Centropomidae, flepsetidae and Protopteridae has the lowest number of one (1) each. The overall result revealed that the Phvsico-chemical parameters were mostly influenced by duration and not much by stations; and parametersoaram measured were within the recommended water quality requirement for growth and survival of aquatic organisms.

    Description: Over the years, man has exploited the ocean and its resources for sustainable livelihood. Man's indigenous and traditional knowledge has been the mainstay and guidance in exploiting the ocean and coastal resources. However, as industrialization and other climate conditions set in to alter or modify the productivity of the ecosystem, there has been a lot of concern by international, regional and local authorities to continuously study the prevalence of these factors and triggers off these climatic changes and their impacts on livelihood of fisherfolks at the industrial or artisanal level of fishing and other fisheries activities like fish farming and fish processing. A quantum of technical and scientific information on the ocean and interactions with other elements have been archived in various libraries, information centers and on the internet. These channels provide information for only those who can access them for policy formulation but cannot actually reach those who will benefit or implement the issues discussed in the policy documents for their livelihood. Meteorological data are reported in technical terms. Figures and other illustrations cannot be utilized by the average artisanal and industrial fishermen for the rational exploitation of the ocean resources. The woman fish processor who uses solar dryer may not be able to relate the weather condition and why her fish cannot dry at the normal time. There are times natural phenomenon like change in the direction of or its intensity can be interpreted by a fisherman as the handwork of his enemy to thwart his fishing effort for that day. Oceans sourge causes and its possible displacement of coastal dwellers might not be fully comprehended by those living in coastal communities. There is the need therefore to develope a communication and outreach strategies using a simple communication matrix for easy articulation of approaches to communicating with all potential and identified stakeholders in Climate change and its effects on stakeholders. This paper therefore discusses some of the climatic conditions and factors that affects the ocean, coastal areas and their productivity. It particularly focuses on communication strategies of information, educating and entertaining in reaching out to identified stakeholders on climate impacts for its rational exploitation and improved income for better standard of living. It finally produced a simple applicable communication matrix for reaching out to all stakeholders in Climale change and its impacts.

    Description: The anti-oxidative and anti-fungal effects of ginger oil on smoked Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus, Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus was examined during five week storage at room temperature (25-30)~'C. The ginger oil was extracted from fresh ginger through hydro-distillation. The fish samples were gutted washed thoroughly and each fish species was divided into three groups. Two groups were spiced with 1.0ml and 1.5ml of ginger oil/kg of fish respectively before they were smoke dried for 2 hours. The third group acts as the control which was not spiced with ginger oil. Chemical and microbiological analyses were performed to investigate quality changes, and to determine the shelf stability of the products. The lowest TBA (14.64 mg MDA/kg), and Peroxide (3.91 mEq/kg) values were recorded in 0. niloticus samples treated with 1.5ml ginger oil/kg of fish at week 1, while the highest TBA (30.48 mg MDA/kg), and PV (18.76 mEq/kg) occurred in the C. gariepinus control at week 5. The result also revealed that samples treated with ginger oil had lower mould count than the control, but there was no significant different (P~.0.05), when compared to the control after 5 weeks of storage.

    Description: In an attempt to come up with initial jigging fishery on oceanic squid in the Southeast Asian Region SEAFDEC conducted a comparative study on the squid in the Philippines Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Western Philippines from 17 April to 9 May 1998. The survey objectives are to determine the distribution and abundance of the oceanic squid in relation to oceanographic conditions and to examine the feasibility of harvesting squid with jig gear. Results from 11 sampling stations show that only one species of the purpleback flying squid, Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (Lesson, 1930) were caught by automatic squid jigging gear. The distribution and abundance of the purpleback flying squid in term of the catch-per-unit effort (CPUE, number of squid per line hour) are presented. Over the entire survey area, the CPUE of the squid averaged 5.7 squids/line hour. Drop-off rates for jigs fished on the jigging machines ranged from 0 to 0.33 squid/line hour. Angling depth where the squid were abundant ranged from 50 m to 100 m. The squid had a mean overall mantle length of 147 mm and an average weight of 0.17 kg. A total of 2,592 squid were measured and mantle length ranged from 90 to 250 mm. Female dominated the catch, accounting for 1,380 squid or 81% of the 1,701 squid sexed. Males were generally smaller than females. The mantle length composition for males was single peak mode at between 120 and 130 mm. Females also had one peak between 140 and 150 mm mantle length. A similar length-weight relationship coefficients between male and female was found. The squid were found in a warm water mass where the sea temperature ranged from 14°C to 31°C at the depth from 150m up to sea surface at night. Good fishing grounds of the squid were at 18°N latitude (18.5 squids/line hour) and at 19°N latitude (11.6 squids/line hour) off the San Fernando and Currimao coasts, respectively where the upwelling occurred. Dissolved oxygen where squid abundant was ranged from 3.27 to 4.4 ml/l. Downwelling was found at 16°N along the 118°E where less potential of the squid, the water transparency depth in this area was deep of about 44 m. A period of 6 days before and after full moon day was good fishing day, while the percent illumination of the moon was less than 30%.

    Description: The findings are presented of observations made during the SEAFDEC cruise conducted in western Philippines waters during the period mid April-mid May 1998 regarding the geostrophic and tidal currents. The dynamic high and low in the study area were owed to the relative vertical movement of water. The high area reflected a downward movement or downwelling in which as far as fisheries is concerned, is less potential for fisheries. The low dynamic surface due to cyclonic eddy caused by wind turbulence near the head of Luzon Island indicated a potential fishing ground for this season. Wind-dominated circulation with some orographic effects suggested that potential fishing grounds might be located for each season from wind data from coastal as well as ship stations.
