    Description: Aquatic animal diseases are the most significant constraint to the development and management of aquaculture worldwide. As aquaculture is growing rapidly and poised to help in bridging the gap in the global supply and demand of aquatic animal food products, management of health is gaining priority. There is need to improve the standards and have strict quarantine laws, this is a powerful selling point and provides our industry with a distinct competitive advantage. The basis for such legislations is very logical and simple

    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: Samples of the frozen hake (Merluccius capensis) were obtained once a week as corresponding to supply in Yenagoa Market Bayelsa State, Nigeria. From every supply of 10 cartons, 10 pieces of hake were examined for the presence of Anisakids nematodes. The incidence was concluded after sampling continuously every week for 8 weeks between September-November 2009. The highest parasite burden (13.2 ~c 2.28) was recorded in the second week and the lowest (8.5~c 2.9) in the 7th week, the highest mean weight of fish sample calculated was 134.80 ~c 19.16 gm in the 4th week and lowest in the 5th week with 118.30 ~c 3.56 g. The mean length was highest (29.10 ~c 1.90cm) in the second week and lowest (26.40 ~c 1.88 cm) in the 7th week. The percentage infection was 96.25% and very alarming since only 3 pieces were not infected as observed from all the samples examined.

    Description: The prevailence of protozoan and helminthic parasite species occurring on and in the internal organs of Oreochromis niloticus were studied. Twenty samples of a mixture of adult and juvenile individuals of Oreochromis niloticus were randomly obtained from fishermen landing at the jetties of Epe water side, Ikorodu (Odoguyan) river and a brackish water (makoko), between September and and October, 2009, during a period of low rainfall. Samples were eviscerated and the parasites were excised, identified and each specie of parasites was counted. Most of the parasites encountered were of the Protozoa, manogenea, Digenea, Cestoda and Nematoda groups. The infestation was predominantly by Nematoda species and followed by protozoan species. Protozoan parasites like Trichodina sp and Ichyobodo sp were found to be prevalent, in varying magnitude, in most of the fish samples without clear age discrimination. The study reveals that the prevailence of parasites infestation increases with increasing length, size and age of the fish host and different pars of the fish.

    Description: Natural aquatic plants population can be healthy for any aquatic ecosystems as they serve as fish feed, play an important role in nutrient cycling, purify the water, control unwanted algal growth and support fauna including birds. Water hyacinths (Eichhornia crassipes) have proven to be a persistent and expensive aquatic weed problem. The review was carried out in the face of current global challenge (climate change) which threatens biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources so that water hyacinth could be viewed as an asset of multifarious benefits considering the revealed highlights rather than been labeled expensive nuisance. The simplest method of management of aquatic weeds is to harvest it and utilize it for cost effectiveness in production such preparation of fish and livestock feeds, bio-gas production, making of charcoal briquetting and waste water treatment for domestic and industrial use. The main problem of utilization and management of water hyacinth is its high cost of transportation to sites for utilization but, once this can be overcome as revealed in the review appropriate utilization techniques is recommended.

    Description: Twenty samples of canned seafood consisting of tuna, mackerel, sardines, prawn and shrimp were collected from retail operations in Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. Mercury content in these canned seafood were determined after digestion by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists methods. The mercury contents for all the canned seafood products have concentrations well below the permissible EU levels for this toxic metal. Their contribution to the body burden can therefore be considered negligible and the canned seafood products seem to be safe for human consumption.

    Description: This study was carried out to determine the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in Clarias anguillaris and Parachanna africana from Lake Geriyo Yola, Nigeria using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrophotometer. The results in (mg/kg, dry weight) showed different levels of Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, and Pb in the two fish species. The order of heavy metals accumulated by C. anguillaris and P. africana are Cr〉Fe〉Zn 〉 Mn〉Cu〉Ni〉Pb and Ni〉Fe〉Zn〉Cu respectively. The levels of Cr, Mn and Ni in C. anguillaris and in Ni in P. africana were higher than WHO and FEPA recommended maximum permissible limits (MPL) in fish, while the levels of Zn, Cu and Pb were below the standards. The results suggest that Lake Geriyo has high pollution loads of these heavy metals in fishes and could pose a health hazards to man. Consequently, close monitoring of heavy metal loads in Lake Geriyo is recommended with a view to minimizing the risks to health of the population that depend on the lake for their water and fish supply.

    Description: Investigation of the microbiological purity of Lake Kivu as index of water pollution was carried out in Gisenyi, Kibuye and Cyangugu over a period of 24 months. Microbial load did not differ significantly with season and locations but Fecal Coliform (FC) had positive significant correlation (r = 0.36; p〈0.05) with season. Mean Total Coliform (TC) (cfu/100ml) was highest 7.7 x 105 in Gisenyi and lowest 1.7 x 105 at Cyangugu. These values exceeded the 5000 colony forming units/100ml recommended by WHO for public surface water supplies. Total heterotrophic bacterial (THB), FC, TC and Fecal streptococcus (FS) were widespread with abnormally high values in the sampling locations signifying poor water quality. Microbial isolates from the water samples were of wide range of groups and their occurrence and distribution varied from location to location. Bacillus sp, E. coli, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus sp were the cosmopolitan microbial species in the lake water. The microbial quality of the water was poor rendering it unsafe for domestic purposes without treatment and this was largely caused by direct contamination of the lake by animals and human domestic wastes.

    Description: Electronic play a vital role in providing security. A security alarm system was designed and constructed to safeguard aquaculture water recirculatory system against illegal entry. The system involved a laser touch which is easily available and it is used for the operation of the device. The laser beam is directed across the entrance to the water recirculatory system, falling on a light dependent resistor (L.D.R). Any unwanted interruption of the laser beam would result into energization of the alarm and indicating security danger. A prototype water recirculatory system was constructed and interfaced with the devices and the device was found efficient and reliable.

    Description: A. crassa of sizes ranging 7.05~c 0.13g to 8.5~c 0.05g were purchased from fishermen around the Jebba Lake. They were transported in open jerry cans in a cold van for about two hours. The indoor tanks measured 3m x 2m x 1.5m while the out door tanks were 2m x 2m x 1.5m. The indoor tanks were stocked 17 prawns per tank while the outdoor tanks were stocked 10 prawns per tank. The experimental diets were formulated with crude protein levels 30%, 35% and 40%. The ingredients used were fishmeal, palm kernel cake, guinea corn, starch, calcium carbonate and these were fortified with premixes. Each diet was assigned to two tanks each indoors and outdoors. They were fed twice daily (9hrs and 19hrs) for 184 days. Positive growth was observed in both indoor and outdoor tanks. There was no significant difference in the growth of prawns fed outdoor (P〉0.05). There was significant difference in the growth parameters of prawns fed the varying diets indoors. The percentage survival of prawns was higher outdoors and there was no significant difference (P〉0.05) in the survival recorded in the three treatments. There was significant difference (P〈0.05) in the survival of prawns in indoor tanks. The carcass composition of A. crassa fed the three diets show crude protein lower at harvest than the prawns stocked initially. Percentage lipid, ash and fibre of the harvested prawns were higher than at initial stocking. A. crassa is cultivable in freshwater and it should be reared with 30% crude protein diet in outdoor systems. Attempts should be made in the larval rearing of the species.
