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

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

    Description: Fishery production is significant to Nigerian economy in view of its roles in providing cheap source of food/nutrition security, income, employment, serves as source of foreign exchange, particularly those of the riparian communities. Despite these significant roles, fisheries subsector is faced with huge challenges, such as: decreasing yield, inefficient management of fishing policy, inadequate technological and commercial knowledge among others, thereby limiting its production potentials. The possibility of fish production especially artisanal fisheries to match up with fish productivity in the economy depends on fishing operation, efficient use of laboour, sustainable and efficient management of fishing policy. Therefore the essence of this study is to review the challenges in fish production in Nigeria, Economic perspective, with emphasis on the role of fisheries in economic development, decreasing fish yield, market forces and resource inefficiency.

    Description: Climate change has the potential to severely impact coastal and inland environments and ecosystems, and by extension fisheries and aquaculture. Coastal regions of the world are already experiencing flooding due to rise in sea level. In recent times, salinization of coastal areas due to flooding from storm surges and high tidal influence has been observed. Aquaculture is a fast growing agri-business venture in Nigeria presently and many coastal communities derive their livelihood from it. The culture of freshwater fish species that are very sensitive to high salinity may be threatened leading to mortality of stocked fish and loss of livelihood for coastal population. Consequently, there is urgent need for development and domestication of the Silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus that can tolerate higher salinity more than Mudcatfish (Clarias gariepinus). This will help mitigate the impact of salinization of coastal areas arising from sea water flooding on culture of fresh water fish species.

    Description: The sub-lethal effect of glyphosate on behavior and some biochemical parameters of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus were investigated using static renewal bioassays and continuous aeration for a period of 28 days using varying concentrations (100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm, 400ppm and 500ppm). During the exposure period, the fish showed different abnormal behaviours such as restlessness, loss of balance, respiratory distress, grouping together, darting movements, loss of equilibrium, mucous secretion and erratic swimming. At the end of the experiments, the fish were sacrificed and the blood samples were collected. The gill and liver of the fish were removed from biochemical bioassay. Compared with the control, the result showed a significant increase (P〈0.05) in the activities of alanine amino transferase (ALT), and aspartate amino transferase (AST), in both the blood and the gill of exposed fish except in liver where it showed a significant reduction. However the values of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), showed significant increase in the blood with a noticeable decrease in both the gill and liver of exposed fish. The study showed that sub-lethal concentratiom of glyphosate are harmful to Clarias gariepinus. This study shows that sub-lethal concentrations of glyphosate is harmful to Claria gariepinus. The implication of these results in rational exploitation and conservation of fishery resources and the public health risk consuming glyphosate-exposed to fish are highlighted.

    Description: The 2661 specimens of the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus L. used for this study, were collected from high brackish lagoon in southwest Nigeria for 24 months. The size of the 2661 specimens of M. cephalus used for this study ranged from 1.7- 29.5cm standard length (total lenght 1.9 to 39.0cm). The sex ratio for M. cephalus was 1:0.53 and this showed a statistically significant (p〈0.05) dominance of the male over the females for the size range. The fecundity estimates varied from 635,568- 1,520,185 and was positively correlated to the fish and weight. Oocyte diameter averaged 409.64 ~c 40.67pm and this is indicative of an early stage of gonad maturation of the specimens in the lagoon before final spawning occurred. The GSI indicated that spawning activity occurred from December to May in the open ocean.

    Description: The growth pattern and condition factor (K) of 810 Lagoon crabs (Callinectes amnicola) fouled with Barnacles (Chelonibia patula), collected from Makoko Jetty, off Lagos Lagoon between April-September 2011 were studied. The carapace length f C. amnicola examined ranged from 3.8cm-8.6cm while the carapare width ranged from 9.5cm-15.4cm. The total weight ranged from 53.1g to 165.0g, indicating that increase in length correspond to increase in weight, thereby suggested that C. amnicola from Lagos Lagoon exhibited a negative allometric growth. The correlated coefficient 'r' for the crabs was 0.68, showing a low correlation between carapace length weight in the lagoon crabs fouled with barnacles. The condition factor (K) values of C. amnicola fouled with barnacles ranged from 3.2-9.7 with a mean value of 5.4. The highest K-value was recorded for the size group 3.5-4.4. The value decreased with increased length of C. ammcola. The sex ratio (1:80) indicated that there were more females (98.8%) than males (1.2%), 12 (1.5%) of the 810 lagoon crabs examined were heavily fouled with barnacles distributed all over the points of attachment with the cora having the most attachment (91.6 6%). Average diameter of the barnacles attached to the crabs ranged from 0.23cm to 1.85cm. The distribution shows that large-sized crabs had much banacles attached to them than small-sized crabs, with greater barnacles found in the females than in the males.

    Description: A survey of the fish processing practices of the fishing settlement around Jabi lake area in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was conducted. The main purpose of constructing the reservoir is to serve as the main source of water supply to the FCT, fishing and fish processing became prominent. Fishermen are recording very low fish catch and the level of hygiene in fish handling practices is very low. The processors are majorly involved in smoking and frying which is dominated by 79% of middle aged young men whereas, 21% are women. The scale of fish processing in Jabi Lake area is still at the subsistence level. Furthermore, the processors do not package the processed fish products, rather they gather them in baskets and plastic bowls. FCT resideents usually procurelive and smoked fish from Kado fish market.
