    Description: The importance of information in every sector cannot be over-emphasized. The ability to identify and utilize our natural endowment depends on the availability of information resources within or at the right time. The low level of information provision in Nigeria is attributed to infrastructure as a result of inadequate funding of the sector. Research has shown that information has revolutionized the society, moving the world from the industrial age to the information age and completely changing the way the economy functions. Success goes with the best information. However, for now, if there must be increase in fish production and eco-tourism participation, employment opportunities, poverty reduction, food security and nature appreciation in terms of environment and living creatures, our fisheries scientists and policy makers will have to rely on sources of information using the advantage of libraries, and Information Communication Technology (lCT). This development in information resources affects many areas of Nigerian economy including the fisheries and eco-tourism sectors. The contribution of information resource in the development of the fisheries sub-sector can be viewed under those of fisheries information products like the Nigerian Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. (NIFFIC) database, Proceedings of national conferences of Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON), annual and technical reports Fisheries Research Institutes in Nigeria. Also to be brought under perspective is the information products of eco-tourist institutions like the Nigerian National Parks.

    Description: There have been many outcries in the Nigerian media on the various environmental degradation of the vast water space in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria by oil explorers. About 70% of the Nigerian populace lives in the coastal areas where the occupation is predominantly fishing and farming. For most of the publications, the extents of impact on the fishing industry are not addressed in order for solutions to be given. Production from the fisheries sector has dropped astronomically thereby earning the country a deficit due to importation of frozen fish to the country. In this study, a survey of three states (Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta) in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was done. The communities studied include Ogulagha, Okobelema and Okpoama. Personal interviews with fishermen and primary data on the sector’s contribution to fish production and GDP were also carried out. The study aimed at finding out the sources and nature of degradation and the impacts such have on the fishing industry and the socio-economics of the fishermen. The study revealed that there are no significant difference in the negative impacts of environmental degradation caused by the activities of the oil companies on the socio-economics of the fishermen ((F2,27=0.59, P〉0.05)) The difference is not significant and the hypothesis is therefore accepted. The major impact on fishing was depletion in catches and low income earnings by fishermen with a resultant poor quality of living and livelihood. Oil spills, foreign vessels incursions and bunkering, vandalization of pipelines were identified sources of depletion in fish catches from the wild. The personal interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGDs) showed that most heads of communities rely on the remuneration they get from the companies and refused to mobilize the fishermen for joint action against the oil companies. Mitigation measures usually carried out by the oil companies do not actually replenish the destroyed mangroves where breeding of fishes take place. The communities need the Government to institute high level surveillance of the high seas and monitor the activities of oil explorers as well as education of the communities on the effects of bunkering near shoreline.

    Relationship among Tilapia guineensis fingerlings abundance and water quality variations in a brackish water reservoir in Lagos (2021)
    Fisheries Society of Nigeria | Lagos (Nigeria)
    In:  http://aquaticcommons.org/id/eprint/23442 | 19325 | 2018-05-02 08:28:15 | 23442 | Fisheries Society of Nigeria

    Description: In recent times there has been an upsurge in the culture of Tilapia in Nigeria resulting in increased demand for the fingerlings which is hardly satisfied. This is due to increasing demand for table size tilapia as food fish and under-sized tilapia in the fish meal and fish canning industries in Nigeria. Collection of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings from the wild, to augment hatchery production, has been the practice and this is subject to environmental fluctuations. Multivariate regression and correlation analyses of accumulated data were used to investigate the effects of changes in water quality parameters on abundance of fingerlings of Tilapia guineensis in a brackishwater habitat in Lagos. Dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity and secchi transparency were found to be the most dominant factors affecting the abundance of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings in the Lagos lagoon. Peak period of abundance was closely associated with period of low salinity (0.50%o to 5.60%o), which coincided with the period of low transparency and low DO in the rainy season. The correlation analyses of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings with the water quality parameters yielded the following correlation coefficients (r)- 0.598; (salinity); -0.644 (transparency); -0.710 (DO); -0.566; (temperature) and 0.129 (pH). The abundance of Tilapia guineensis fingerlings in the Lagoon was ultimately defined by a suitable regression equation. This result is expected to optimize the collection of fingerlings of Tilapia guineensis from the wild and boost food fish security in Nigeria and elsewhere.

    Description: Spatial and temporal variations of physico-chemical variables of Onu-Iyi ?Ukwu stream were studied for 12 months from March 2005 to February 2006. Three sampling stations were established along the main stream channel from source to mouth. Spatial variation in physico-chemical parameters indicated that total alkalinity, total hardness, conductivity, and nitrate-nitrogen (NO3) recorded their highest values at the upper reaches (with values 14.0mg/l, 88.09mg/l, 17.00~kscmiscm, and 0.60mg/l respectively). Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and pH had their maximum values of 8.20mg/l and 6.94 at the middle reaches. Turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), temperature and phosphate-phosphorus (PO4) increased steadily from source to mouth. The observed seasonal variation indicated that wet season values were higher for all the parameters except temperature, turbidity, phosphate-phosphorus (PO4) and total alkalinity although the values were not statistically significant at p〉0.05. The correlation coefficient (r) showed no significant relationships p〈0.05 between physico-chemical parameters except DO and BOD with correlation values of (0.75 and -0.54) respectively.

    Description: The physico-chemical parameters of Bosso Dam were analyzed weekly for a period of six (6) weeks from 29th October, 2009. In all, six (6) stations were identified within the dam. The physico-chemical parameters assessed were: temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity and transparency. The results obtained from the analysis revealed slight variations in most parameters. There was no significant difference p〉0.05 in pH regardless of stations and weeks. But significant difference p〉0.05 were observed in dissolved oxygen, nitrate, temperature, conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, biological oxygen demand, transparency, in respect regard to stations. These variations could be due to influx of organic waste from surface run offs and inorganic waste deposited by man. The physico-chemical parameters observed, indicated that most of them fall with the recommended range or standard by the Federal Ministry of Environment

    Description: Information on sex composition of fish/shellfish species is important in determining reproductive potentials and estimating size structure of a given stock. Sustainable fisheries management options and policies usually rely on this aspect of the reproductive biology. In the present study, the sex ratios of three palaemonid shrimps, Macrobrachium macrobrachion, Macrobrachium vollenhovenii and Macrobrachium equidens were studied over an annual cycle with respect to gear type. Male: female relationship for M. macrobrachion caught with beach seine, pushnet and trap were 1:2.2, 1:2.1 and 1:2.15 respectively, while the M:F ratios for M. vollenhovenii were 1:1.27 (beach seine), 1:1.32 (pushnet) and 1:1.64 (trap). The overall M:F ratios during the annual cycle were 1:2.15 (M. macrobrachion), 1:1.47 (M. vollenhovenii), and 1:1.74 (M. equidens). The monthly sex ratios indicated that there were more females than males during the period, except for M. equidens which had a ratio of 1:0.78 in the month of August. This is advantageous for the stock dynamics of the species, especially if the males could mate with more than one female during any reproductive season.

    Description: The paper traced aquacultural development in Nigeria to the colonial period in 1950s with fish farming in tilapias during which more than 200 small scale subsistence level ponds were built with some growth continuing in the rural areas. There was a bloom in farming of catfishes in 2000. The interest shown by private fish farmers has been identified as a propelling factor for aquacultural development in Nigeria. The development of private fish hatcheries has been another factor leading to the growth of aquaculture. The paper noted that social capital and its development either directly or indirectly can be identified as contributing to the success of the sectors. The increasing profit from aquaculture has led to fish farmers increasing beyond 5000 tonnes in 2009. The paper highlighted the numerous advantages which led to the expansion of the industry in Nigerian villages.

    Description: The paper is a review of the curriculum, staffing, equipment, field and laboratory requirements prescribed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) for training of Fisheries graduates. This is made as these are guidelines against which Fisheries programmes, now being proliferated in many Nigerian tertiary institutions, can be evaluated for possible accreditation. The critique shows that some courses are highly under-weighted e.g. “Aquatic Flora and fauna” as a 2 credit unit. There is a high degree of overlap between courses. Some are not clearly and sharply delineated, defined or described. Staff needs are not defined or described. Staff needs are not defined in terms of core course areas of specialization. Limnology & Oceanography have their descriptions restricted to physico ? chemical features and not viewed in the desired comparative perspective. Suggestions are made on a wider listing of equipment, field laboratory, and library need to sharpen the NUC guideline. A review committee is recommended.

    Description: Investigations were carried out to study the food, feeding ecology and condition index of the brackish river prawn, 〈i〉Macrobrachium macrobrachion〈/i〉 (HERKLOTS, 1851). One thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven live specimens which comprised of individuals representing all size groups of the prawn were studied. The specimens were obtained from the commercial artisanal catches at Nsidung Beach along Calabar River (40301N and 80201E). Although algae formed the bulk of the diet of the prawn with 44.61% occurrence, other food items: detritus (24.30%), crustacean remains (23.14%), mud/sand particles (6.23%), fish bones and scales (2.14%) and small worms (0.21 %), were also consumed. The sub-adult and adult prawns respectively exhibited similar condition index of 0.98, while the youngs showed a condition index of 0.82. The significance of the similarities in condition indices between the sub-adult prawns and the varied condition indices among the young, sub-adult and adult prawns in addition to the exhibition of an overlapping feeding ecology by the prawn is discussed.

    Description: The physico-chemical and biological characteristics and nutrient concentration of Kigera Fish Farm ponds were monitored for two months to assess the water quality. The parameters measured were dissolved oxygen, temperature, hydrogen ion concentration, Secchi-disc transparency and zooplankton composition. Some fish species were identified in the course of study. Temperature ranged from 26 -30degreesC; dissolved oxygen ranged from 3mg/l-6.6mg/l, pH ranged 7.0 -7.2; while Secchi-disc transparency ranged from 0.19 - 0.25m. The three ponds were quite similar in these parameters. All the parameters that were investigated in this study are within the tolerable level for warm water fishes. Five different zooplankton species were identified at the Kigera Fish Farm, and were grouped according to their major categories namely: Copepods, Cyclopoids and Copepodite), Cladoceran (〈i〉Moina〈/i〉), and Rotifera (〈i〉Asplanchina〈/i〉). 〈i〉Branchionus〈/i〉 species in the Rotifers group dominated the zooplankton species in all the three ponds.

    Description: Some aspects of the reproductive biology of the three dominant species in the 〈i〉Macrobrachium〈/i〉, fishery of the Cross River Estuary namely 〈i〉M. macrobrachion, M. vollenhovenii and M. equidens〈/i〉, were studied. Due to the difficulties associated with identifing the onset of maturity of 〈i〉Macrobrachium〈/i〉 males, only the females were used in the study. The size massive maturation (TL〈sub〉m〈/sub〉 in mm) for 〈i〉M. macrobrachion〈/i〉 was 68.83 (CI: 66.63-71.10 mm) at corresponding age of 6.61 (CI: 6.28-6.96) months. TL〈sub〉m〈/sub〉 for 〈i〉M. vollenhovenii〈/i〉 was 106.74 (CI: 102.81. 110.81), at a corresponding age of 7.42 (CI: 7.01-7.82) months, while TL〈sub〉m〈/sub〉 for 〈i〉M. equidens〈/i〉 was 59.09 (CI: 57.50-60.72), at the age of 7.70 (CI: 7.39-8.03) months. Average fecundity for 〈i〉M macrobrachion, M. vollenhovenii and M. equidens〈/i〉 were 2490 (range 270-4710), 23,943 (range 1744-46,141), and 2359 (range 400-4318) eggs per female, respectively. The larger females had more eggs than the smaller ones. Understanding of the reproductive biology of these biological species is indispensable for efficient management of their resources.

    Description: The artisanal shrimp fishery of the Cross River Estuary, SE Nigeria is exploited with three main shrimping gears, viz: beach seine, push net and trap. While the beach seine and push net are active gears, the trap is passive. Catch composition from the three gears was analysed for species diversity, catch contribution in weight and sex ratio. The trap showed the lowest species diversity, with only three Macrobrachium (M. macrobrachion, M. vollenhovenii and M. equidens) species represented in the catch, while Callinectes crab and Eleotris were by-catch. The complete absence of Penaeus notialis from trap catches throughout the sampling period of eighteen months was remarkable, while M. equidens was very low in abundance. The beach seine and push net had similar species composition in their catches with more than thirteen shrimp species represented. The catch per unit effort for the three gears varied, with beach seine contributing 46.13%, push net 24.41 % and trap 29.46%, of the overall catch. The sex ratio (male: female) was 1 :2.2 (beach seine), 1 :2.1 (push net), 1:2.15 (trap) for M. macrobrachion, 1 :1.27 (beach seine), 1 :1.32 (push net) and 1 :1.64 (trap), for M. vollenhovenii. The size structure showed more juveniles (below 40 mm) in beach seine and push net. Analysis of catches from the three gears showed some complexities as active and passive gears manifested extreme characteristics in their selection. In managing this fishery, therefore, a middle-of-the road option would be necessary, and we recommend the closed season.

    Description: The seasonal variations in the physicochemical parameters were studied from January, 2007 to December 2007, in Kontagora Reservoir, Niger State, Nigeria. The physico- chemical parameters were determined bi-monthly , using the following methods , temperature using mercury thermometer in degree centigrade, transparency using Secchi-disc , Pye Unicam model 292 meter used for pH and electrical conductivity. Dissolved oxygen by modified Winklerazide method, water hardness and Phosphate- phosphorus by method of Lind (1979), total alkalinity by standard method described by Boyd(l979) , Nitrate- Nitrogen by Phenoldisulphonic acid method. The rainy season mean values for water temperature, depth, pH, Nitrate-Nitrogen, were significantly (P〈0.05) higher than those for the dry season. However, for transparency, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, hardness, alkalinity, phosphate-phosphorus and total dissolved solid, the dry season mean values were higher than the rainy season mean value. As in most other Africa inland water bodies, there was seasonality in the physicochemical parameters variables. The torrential rains of the dam environment, the characteristics trade winds of the dry season, effect of deforestation, fertilizer application, herbicides, insecticide and other chemical factors might have contributed to the fluctuations of some of the physicochemical parameters detennined in the Reservoir.

    Description: Diet of the juvenile Gorean snapper, Lutjanus goreensis from Five Cowrie Creek was investigated between April 2008 and January 2009. Analyses of 184 specimens by numerical (NO), frequency of occurrence (FO) and geometric index of importance (GII) methods, respectively revealed a moderately high proportion (47.83%) of stomachs with food or prey. Shrimps and crabs constituted more than 80 % of total prey items. Other dietary components included lobsters, stomatopods, whole fish and fish parts. Similarly, analysis of diet composition by size - groups also indicated a predominance of the shrimps and crabs over all other prey items. In conclusion, L. goreensis can be described as a top-level carnivore feeding almost exclusively on epibenthic crustaceans in the juvenile stage.

    Description: The ontogenetic variation in the diet of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatu (Lacepede 1808) was investigated. The study was carried out for a period of 15months (Feb.-Sept. 1996 and March - Sept. 1997) based on 660 specimens of the fish. It was aimed at a detailed analysis of the diet composition of C. nigrodigitatus and the variation in diet with size class. The diet composition was analysed using the occurrence, numerical and gravimetric methods. These were combined into a composite Index of Relative Importance (IRI) which formed the basis of determining the importance of each food category. C. nigrodigitatus is a benthic omnivorous feeder subsisting on a variety of benthic food items, with significant ontogenetic shifts in diet composition. The size classes 0-30.00cm and 31-60.00cm adult had preference for plankton, 61-90.00cm preferred fish and crabs while 91-120.00cm had preferential diet of shrimps. Index of Relative Importance (IRI) was as follows: fish -31.8%, Crustaceans -23.6%, bivalves -10.61%, as major food items. The minor food items included plankton, polychaetes, palmfruits, plant materials and detritus. Variation of condition factor (C.F) with fish length was studied with highest C.F value of 1.86 for size group 10-19cm and lowest C.F value of 0.71 for size group 40-49cm.This study has not only identified C. nigrodigitatus as a benthic predator in the estuary, but has also provided data that can make significant inputs into the trophic modeling and multispecies management of the estuary.

    Description: The morphometric characters of Cynothrissa mento from three major Lagoons (Ologe, Badagry and Epe) in Lagos, Nigeria were compared to assess the possibility of this fish species from the three Lagoons belonging to the same sub-population. The length-weight relationships (LWR), and condition factors (CF) of the fish were also described as well as the physico-chemical parameters of the three water bodies. The study was conducted between May, 2009 and April, 2010 and monthly sampling of fish and water was done in each sampling site. Seven7 physico-chemical parameters were assessed and these are; temperature, pH, salinity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity and total hardness. A total of 294 specimens (Ologe 60, Badagry 174 and Epe 60) of C. mento were collected from the landings of the local fisher folks from the sampling sites. Seven morphometric characters; total length (TL), standard length (SL), body depth (BD), head length (HL), head depth (HD), eye diameter (ED) and interorbital width (IW) were measured. There was no significant difference (p 〉 0.05) in all the physico-chemical parameters measured among the sampling sites except pH. Coefficient of difference revealed that the C. mento from the three lagoons are uniform in all the morphometric parameters examined, which means that the specimens from the three sampling sites do not belong to different sub-populations. The growth coefficient/slope (b) values obtained for the fish species from the sampling sites ranged from 2.27 - 2.53, and differed significantly (p 〈 0.05) from 3, which indicates that most of the fish species have negative algometric growth.

    Description: The proximate composition of the fresh water shrimp Atya gabonensis (Irvine), preserved by smoking, salting and sun - drying was determined and compared to the fresh shrimp. All the preservation methods significantly (p〈 0.05) increased the total dry matter (38.34 93%), protein content (17.31 48.9) and ash content (28.36 36.17%) over the fresh shrimp value. Moisture and lipid contents however, were reduced from the fresh shrimp's 61.66% and 25.29% to low value of 7.00% and 5.10% respectively. The preserved shrimp is, therefore, nutritionally superior to the fresh shrimp as preservation enhances its proximate composition. Of all the preservation methods used in this work, smoking is the best. It recorded the best preservation indices of lowest moisture content, higher dry matter, higher protein content and highest ash content.
