    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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: This study investigated the levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr) and Zinc (Zn) in two common edible fish species, Sole, Solea solea and Croaker, Pseudotolithus typus from Makoko and Koko in Lagos and Delta states respectively. Heavy metal contents were determined by air-acetylene flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer after wet digestion of dried and milled samples with 1:1 HN0〈sub〉3〈/sub〉: H〈sub〉2〈/sub〉O〈sub〉2〈/sub〉. Results obtained (~kg/g, dry weight) for Sole in Lagos and Delta states were: Pb (0.330 and 0.149), Cd (0.097 and 0.063), Cu (0.869 and 0.434), Cr (1.184 and 0.826), Zn (7.612 and 7.890); and Croaker: Pb (0.163 and 0.045), Cd (0.115 and 0.029), Cu (0.990 and 0.694), Cr (1.008 and 1.038) and Zn (6.756 and 6.168) for the wet season (April-October); and Pb (0.534 and 0.527), Cd (0.373 and 0.410), Cu (0.437 and 0.556), Cr (0.834 and 0.983), Zn (6.764 and 9.343) for sole and Pb (0.210 and 0.213), Cd (0.264 and 0.307), Cu (0.442 and 0.483), Cr (0.577 and 0.597) and Zn (4.783 and 5.924) for croaker in the wet season (July-October). Significant (P~B 0.05) variations were observed in metal content between fish in terms of species, location and season. Generally, sole had higher metal concentrations than croaker; and metal contents were higher in samples from Lagos compared to Delta, probably due to the contribution of more effluents from industrial, commercial and municipal wastes in Lagos state. Cd and Cr levels in the test species were found to exceed international standards. It is recommended that a programme of continuous monitoring and control of the physical and chemical characteristics of components and food products of Nigeria's coastal zone be incorporated as a management tool for this important ecological zone.
