    Description: The acquisition or loss of Clinostomum tilapiae parasites by Oreochromis niloticus was studied. Four groups of 25 healthy fishes were stocked in the upper part of serial experimental ponds, while another four groups of 25 infected fishes were also stocked at the rear part of the serial experimental ponds. All the groups were fed at 3% body weight with the same compounded fish feed. Acquisition or loss of parasites and growth was monitored for a period of six months. The mean relative growth rate was 11.04kg/month for the healthy fishes and 5.62g/month for the infected fishes. The mean specific growth rate was 38.75% and 31.25% for the healthy and infected groups respectively. However the results were not statistically significant (p 〉 0.05). The parasite did not multiply on the host body rather the infection rate reduced from 100% to between 44 and 78%, parasite burden was reduced from an average of 3 per fish to 2.25 while the healthy fish acquired the parasite and the average burden was 2.15. The mean values of the prevailing water quality parameters were within the optimum range acceptable in fish culture systems in the tropics.

    Description: Composition and abundance of macro-invertebrates, in Akwa Ibom State College of Agriculture, Fish Farm in UrukAnam Local Government Area, Nigeria, was studied from (December 2005 to May, 2006). Collections of samples were made with benthic net at weekly intervals. Stocked and unstocked ponds were selected for the study. The stocked ponds had 122 individuals macro invertebrates while unstocked pond had 160 number of individuals. The two ponds were dominated by Diptera followed by Coleoptera with single individual species. Groups which are regarded as clean water fauna were absent in both ponds. Generally, the ponds were poor in terms of number of taxa and individuals.

    Description: The length weight relationship and condition factor of Hemichromis fasciatus from Kainji Lake was studied. One hundred and twenty seven fish samples of total length ranging from 6.50cm 15.50cm and weigh between 4.00g and 60.00g collected between August 2006 and June 2007 were analyzed. Results showed that a, b and r - values were 0.0042, 3.442 and 0.966 respectively, while the condition factor (CF) values varied from 0.67 2.42 with mean of 1.203. The fish exhibited positive allometric growth pattern. The condition of the lake is favourable for the survival of the fish species.

    Description: The food and feeding habits of Protopterus annectens of the River Rima and Goronyo Dam in North Western Nigeria was studied. A total of one hundred and eighteen (118) fish samples were collected from October, 2001 to September, 2002 and the stomach contents were analyzed using frequency of occurrence method. The feeding adaptation with respect to mouth and related structures, gill rakers and dentition were examined. The gut length and fish length indicated rectilinear positive relationship. The regression coefficient (b) and correlation coefficient (r) of GL TL relationships were highly significant (p〈0. 01). The main taxa of food substances found in the stomachs included substances of plant and animal origins, with overall frequency of 49. 1and 38.3% for the samples from River Rima and 27.2 and 60.3% for those from Goronyo Dam in the same order. The results of percentage occurrence of the food items in the dry season showed that animal substances in the juveniles (51.7%) and the adults (41.4%) were higher than the plant materials in the samples from the two water bodies. In the rainy season, the percentage occurrences of animal substances were higher in the adults (= 30cm) samples from Goronyo Dam than those samples from River Rima, while the same food items were absent in the juveniles (= 30cm) from the two water bodies. These feeding adaptive features indicate the roles of the species in their ecological niche and provide base line information that could be useful in satisfying their food requirement under culture condition. The diversity of food substances found in the stomach and their occurrence in the juveniles and adults varied with the water bodies and season.

    Description: The gut length to standard length ratios of twelve fish species from the Ovia and Ikpoba Rivers were calculated to work out their feeding level in the food chain. The mean ratio of five species Brycinus macrolepidotus Smith, 0.9 Parachanna obscura (Gunther), 1.0, Papyrocranus afer. Gunthel; 0.35, and Xenomystus nigri Gunther 0.75, classify them as carnivores. Four species Synodontis eupterus Boulenger; 4.4 S.schall (Bloch and Schneider) 4.8, Tilapia mariae Boulenger, 3.5, and T. tilli (Gervais), 4.7, are herbivores. Three intermediate ratio species B. longipinnis (Gunther), 1.3,Chrysichthys furcatus (Gunther) 1.6, and Clenopoma kingsleyae Gunther, 1.8, are omnivores. The body depth of seven of the species was measured and expressed as percentage of the standard length to ascertain the accommodative capacity of the fish for the gut. In addition a review of culture of snake head fish Parachanna obscura is presented.

    Description: This study was carried out by surveying all the water bodies of two states where Typha grass exists. Soil auger was used to take soil samples randomly from five different locations in both Kebbi and Katsina state at the depths of 0-5cm, 510cm, 10 15cm. Soil nutrient was analyzed for the mineral composition of the two States at different season and soil depths. The result showed that, soil depth between 5-10cm has the highest percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium during dry season. The nutrient composition of soil from the two states followed the same pattern during wet season.

    Description: The implications of the abattoir effluents discharge into the Lower Ogun River in Isheri-Olofin area on the abundance of three African fresh water prawns: Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, M macrobrachion and M. felicinum were assessed. Monthly prawn collections were undertaken using a scooping bag net with 0.05mm mesh size at three stations with 100m intervals in each of Ishasi (upstream) and Isheri-Olofin (downstream) areas of the river for 24months (January, 2006-December, 2007). For the 24month period, the upstream (pooled data from stations 1,2 and 3) had M. vollenhovenii of total and mean density of 27,938.33 prawn/m2 and 1164.60prawn/m2 1131.04 respectively, while total and mean M. vollenhovenii density of 5,815.43prawn/m2 and 243.81 prawn/m2 231.45 were obtained in the downstream (pooled stations 4, Sand 6 data). T-test showed the entire upstream to have significantly higher M. vollenhovenii density than the entire downstream (p〈0.05). The entire upstream had higher M. macrobrachium total and monthly mean density (19,092prawn/m and 816.44prawn/m2 1,354.28) than the entire downstream (6,384.47prwn/m2 and 266.02m2524.94) (p〈0.05). Also, significantly higher total and monthly mean density of M felicinum were obtained upstream (20,9S6.S0prawn/m2 and 873.46prawn/m21615.06) than downstream (10,9668.11prawn/m2 and 461.16prawn/m2975.19) (p〈0.05). The significance of the decline in abundance of each of the three Macrobrachium prawn species in the downstream area was discussed.

    Description: The length - weight relationship and condition factor of Citharinus citharus citharus was studied for a period of twelve (12) months from Lake Kainji, Nigeria. Nine hundred and eighty nine (989) fish samples (Citharinus citharus citharus) with total length ranging from 100mm to 530mm and weight ranging from 31.00g to 2250.00g were analysed. The results showed that the values of a, b and r were 0.0039, 3.2134 and 0.8997 respectively. The condition factor(K) values varied from 2.9 to 4.5, which means that the growth pattern of the fish is based on the value of 'a'. the fish species are also living well in the Lake as the 'K' are greater than one.

    Description: Research was carried out to explore the fish species diversity and study some aspects of the biology of fish of Daberam reservoir, Katsina state, Nigeria, for a period of three month from March to May 2009. Samples were collected from commercial fishermen and experimental fishing gears, preserved in formalin and taken to laboratory for identification; confirmation was done by fisheries experts. Eight genus comprising ten species were identified. The regression coefficient (b) was 3.07, 2.91 and 3.21 for the three most commercially importance species in the reservoir i.e. Oreochromis niloticus, and Clarias gariepinus respectively which indicated Positive allometric growth for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus and negative allometric growth for T. nilotica. The mean condition factor (k) was 1.140, with values of 1.027and 0.732 for O. niloticus and C. gariepinus, respectively. This indicates that the fish are not leaving well compared to other freshwater fishes.
