    Description: The proximate composition and amino acids assay of smoked Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus were determined using standard procedures. The mean proximate composition of Oreochromis niloticus are 8.9% moisture, 16.00% lipids, 5.6% ash, 44.5% crude protein, 0.42% crude fiber and 24.9% NFE while Clarias gariepinus has 8.19% moisture, 15.55% lipids, 4.725 ash, 40.46% crude protein, 0.50% crude fiber and 30.58% NFE. There is therefore a nutrient variation between the 2 species of fish Oreochromis niloticus has higher crude protein, lipids, moisture and ash content than Clarias gariepinus.The amino acids profile shows that both fishes have 17 amino acids. Apart from Tryptophan, the following essential amino acids Histidine, Methionine, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Valine and Phenylalanine are present in both fish. Oreochromis niloticus however has higher quantities of the essential amino acids except for Histidine than Clarias gariepinus

    Description: The evaluation of Cr. Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn,As and Pb concentrations in Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis niloticus from Lake Geriyo Yola,Adamawa, Nigeria using X - ray fluorescence (XRF) technique is discussed. The analytical samples are irradiated with high energy electrons of 109Cd to produce fluorescent X-rays was produced which passes to the Silicon-lithium detector through Mo target as a source of monochromatic X-rays. The spectrum of energy generated on the detector was processed by a Multi- Channel Analyzer to obtain analytical data. The intensity of the fluorescent X-rays on the detector is proportional to the concentration of the individual element of interest in the sample. This method can identify up to 30 or more elements at the same time. The results showed varying levels of heavy metals in the fishes. The concentrations of Cr, Mn, Cu, and Ni in the fishes were much higher than WHO and PEPA maximum permissible limits, while the concentrations of Zn and Pb were lower than the standards. The results suggest that the lake is polluted with Cr, Mn, Cu and Ni and the consumption of fishes of the lake is life threatening to man.

    Description: Tilapia guineensis eggs were spawned and hatched in different salinities (17, 12, 7, 5, 2 and 0) ppt. The study was conducted in eight replicates. The aim of the investigation was to ascertain disparity in hatching size of Tilapia guineensis attributable to salinity. Immediately hatching was observed, body weight of five hatchlings in each replicate was individually weighed in milligramme. The individual total length of the five hatchlings was also measured in millimeter. The height of the yolk sac larva was determined with micro-metre screw gauge graduated in millimeter from the top of the yolk sac to the dorsal region of the larva. Data obtained were used to calculate yolk sac volume. Significant differences (P〈0.01) were observed in body weight and total length of larvae hatched in different salinities. The heaviest and longest larvae were hatched in 12 ppt saline water. The yolk sac volume of larvae hatched in lower salinities were significantly higher (P〈0.01) than the yolk sac volume of larvae hatched in higher salinities. The smallest yolk sac volume was recorded in 12ppt saline water. Our findings show that salinity could be manipulated for economic production of heavier seeds of Tilapia.

    Description: Mangrove swamps supply various goods and provide invaluable ecological services, especially as critical habitats for fish breeding. These functions are discussed in the context of rural livelihoods of coastal dwellers in the Niger Delta in particular, and the contribution to national economies in general. The decline in capture fisheries production in Nigeria is partly linked to massive mangrove loss in the Niger Delta. This provides basis for urgent evolution of effective mangrove conservation schemes in the Niger Delta and for focused research on the interaction between the delta mangroves and inland/coastal fish recruitment and production dynamics.

    Description: Standing on the abandoned jetty at Iwuochang / Upenekang fishing beach in 1999 [Ibeno LGA, Akwa Ibom State] and looking across the Qua Iboe River [en-route the Atlantic Ocean] were strips of luxuriant mangrove vegetation all around the estuary. Surprisingly, 10 years later still standing on the same jetty and looking across the same River also, all the vegetation round about the estuary are now replaced by nipa palms with pockets of mangrove plants. The fear of the paper is that, there may be crash in fish supply from the coastal waters of Nigeria in the near future. The time to act is now and FISON must be pro-active in this coastal re-construction and re-habilitation. Nigeria’s coastal water is a ‘food-basket’; much should be done to protect and jealously cherish it ? else, it may be the last standing mangrove forest ecosystem southeast of the Niger delta.

    Description: There are more occupational and health hazards in the Fishing Industry than in other occupational categories in the world. In Nigerian Industrial Fisheries, safety measures are regulated while little attention is given to safety standards in the artisanal fisheries. In West Africa, the coastal artisanal canoe fatality rates have been given in 1991-1994 to be 300 to 1,000 per 100,000 fishermen. Thus, the fatality rate in Nigerian artisanal fisheries, (coastal states) has been estimated to be 999 to 3,329 per 100,000 fishermen. The high rate is due to piracy, boundary disputes between fishing communities, unemployment, societal low value for human life and human labour. The paper discusses the various types of accidents associated with artisanal coastal fisheries and give recommendations. Fishermen have rights to safe working conditions in their working environment just as workers in offices and factories on land.

    Description: The culture of oysters, clams, scallops, and other molluscs is collectively one of the fastest growing sectors of the aquaculture industry. An inherent issue with shellfish culture methods, particularly for off-bottom culture (i.e. floating trays, racks, long lines, strings, rafts), is biofouling. This can occur directly, by biofouling of the animals themselves, or indirectly, by fouling of cages, nets, filters, and other equipment. Problematic biofouling species have been identified and segmented into six groups: algae, barnacles, mussels, tubeworms, ascidians and hydroids. Controlling and mitigating biofouling can result in significant costs for commercial shellfish culture operations.

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

    Description: 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.
