    Capacity building and training requirement for effective fisheries and aquaculture extension in Nigeria (2021)
    FISON | Lagos, Nigeria

    Publication Date: 2021-07-13
    Description: This paper examines the importance of capacity building and training requirement for the benefit of fisheries and aquaculture extension in Nigeria. It involves the analysis of secondary data bothering on the management of agricultural extension in Nigeria over time vis-avis various agricultural development programmes in the past in which fisheries and aquaculture extension was apparently de-emphasized in favour of crop and livestock agriculture. It is therefore recommended as a way forward that a favorable reform in the Nigerian agricultural extension system will be a necessary avenue to put fisheries and aquaculture extension in proper perspective for effective service delivery which will be a good entry point to achieving the millennium development goals of combating hunger, extreme poverty and attainment of food security in Nigeria.

    Description: The study examined the contribution of women to fisheries in Kainji Lake Basin, Nigeria. The sample size of 80 respondents was selected through a purposive sampling in ten (10) fishing villages around Kainji Lake Basin. Instrument for data collection was semi- structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that the women are mostly engaged in processing, marketing and financing. About 60 percent of the women interviewed are engaged in marketing and financing. Ten (10) percent of the respondents are engaged in financing. The low participation in financing is attributed to high amount of capital involved. It is recommended that women should be made to benefit more from rural development policies and programmes.

    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 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 paper reviews the various techniques of fish handling and processing in Lake Chad. Poor handling of fish catches on board coupled with the distant location of the fishing grounds and thick aquatic vegetation on the lake which hamper fast movement of catches to the processing centers are the bane of good quality fresh fish getting to the processors. The techniques adopted in processing and preservation are mainly smoking, char-burning and sun drying. Defects suffered by the processed products of the methods include high moisture content, heavy insect infestation, bacterial decomposition and fungal attack. Protection of catches from direct sunlight by spreading wet jutes over them will lower the rate of deterioration. Removal of the aquatic vegetation by appropriate authorities and canalization will ease movement of fish catches to the processing centers. More serious enlightenment of the processors on the adoption of the 'Chorkor' oven will reduce the problems presently facing cured fish. The use of rambo insecticide and other dangerous chemicals by the fish processors and marketers for the preservation of fish products before repackaging should be discouraged.

    Description: A 7.0 meters Length Overall (LOA) flat bottom canoe similar to the one commonly used for fishing in Kainji lake, but with some modifications, was designed. The improvements/modifications over the local canoe include, an additional chine to reduce the flatness of the bottom which was absent in the local canoes commonly used. The canoe's light displacement (weight empty) was 0.48 Tonne, which was similar to local canoe of same size. The draft obtained was 0.13 M( 13cm), which is 36.9% of its depth (0.48 M). The capacity of the canoe was 1.304 tones. The water plane area (WPA) was 3.89 M2; WPA coefficient, and block coefficient were 0.83, and 0.82 respectively. The modification on the canoe resulted in provision of a canoe with the bottom shaped close to V-bottom to aid better performance on rough turbulent water such as the Kainji Lake, and increased life span of canoe and safety of fisher folk while aboard fishing.

    Description: The paper examines the prospect and constraints of fisheries extension under the unification policy. It revealed certain barriers influencing its fullest utilization as well as fisher folks participation in extension programmes. Some of the barriers identified are related to inaccessibility, logistic support, improper aquaculture methodology, insufficient applied research in small scale fisheries, inability to convert research findings into positive results by small scale fisheries, inadequate number of fisheries research personnel within the existing research centers and institutes catering for the fishers sector, complexity of issues, lack of coordination and continuity in research and data deficiencies in small scale fisheries. Based on the findings, the paper recommends that, the effectiveness of the methods of identifying research needs by practitioners be assessed, the impact of the generated research results in reducing or solving field problems be ascertained, the constraints to diffusion of proven technologies from research being integrated into small scale fisheries be evaluated, the degree of effectiveness of extension delivery tools on .fishers technology adoption be ascertained, and lastly, adequate applied research in small scale fishery be emphasized.

    Description: Comparative study on the microbial load and proximate composition of fresh lean fish Labeo cubie and fresh fatty fish Synodontis membranaceus with their smoked products were carried out. The colony count of different parts was carried out on all the samples and the results show the highest microbial load on the gut of both the fresh lean fish and the fresh fatty fish. The smoked dried lean fish and the smoked dry fatty fish had lower microbial counts compared to their fresh samples because smoking reduces the microbial load on fish. Biochemical characterization carried out on all isolates confirmed Gram-negative bacterial isolates. The proximate composition show that water is the most affected nutrient during the hot smoking of both the fresh fish sample and the fresh fatty sample with a corresponding increase in protein content. There was a significant difference (p〈 0.05) in proximate composition of smoked product of fresh fatty fish and the fresh lean fish. The colony counts of different parts of the fish reveals that majority of the microorganisms is found in the guts followed by gills and the lowest in the skin this is the pattern in the two fresh fish but for smoked fish the gut is usually removed before smoking.

    Description: Good handling of fish from the point of harvest to consumption is very essential and the quality of fish can only be maintained if only suitable containers are used in its processing, transportation, distribution and marketing. This study analyzed the different containers used by fishermen at lake Alau community in Konduga Local Government Area of Bomo State. The study was carried out in two prominent leading sites of lake Alau community which are kachalari and Abbari with the aid of questionnaires interview conducted with 50 randomly selected respondents fishermen. Both primary and secondary data were collected. The collected data were analyzed using the market cost of the various fish containers. The result shows that fish containers such as Metal basin, sacks, flat sacks and Metal trays have strong strength while Baskets, jerry cans and calabash have moderate strength the polythene bags, stationery and news print are very weak. Also baskets have the highest percentage of usage 20% while flat sacks, polythene bags and stationery have the highest percentage of 4%, which are the lowest. It can be concluded that, the different containers are afforded to fishermen but most of the containers are often kept dirty, which lead to poor hygiene, rough handling and invariably post-harvest losses and shortage in food supply. It can be recommended that, sheds should be provided at the landing sites to protect fresh fish the direct heat of the sun and enlightment of fishermen and traders on the minimum standard o fthe quality and hygiene for fish and fishery products.

    Description: Cephalic abnormality in nine mating groups involving Clarias gariepinus with cephalic abnormality, non Cephalic and Maiduguri origin were investigated to determine the level and the genetic basis of the occurrences and its aquaculture implication. The highest mean percentage survival in a Cephalic crossed with non cephalic group was 68.6% whereas the last mean percentage survival was 25.7% in the group of Maiduguri cross with Maiduguri parent. Cephalic abnormality was observed in the crosses with both female and male cephalic with a total frequency ranging from 0 % to 70.8. %. The least number of cephalic abnormality was 18.5% which involved a cross of non cephalic with cephalic, and the highest was 70.8%. This level of cephalic abnormality shows that the defect was hereditary. This result implies that, the genetic factor is a major contributor in the feature of cephalic abnormality in Clarias gariepinus.

    Description: Kainji Lake is a man-made Lake and is impounded in 1968 to generate hydroelectric power. The Lake also offers opportunities for developmental projects like Fisheries and Irrigation. Lake Kainji receives organic waste through husbandry operations in which the cattle defecate into and around the bank of the Lake. Other sources of pollution include runoff from farms, bathing and washings in the Lake. Surrounding villages e.g. Tarda and Musawa used the Lake as source of raw drinking water and also for other domestic purposes. Bacteriological quality of fish and water from the Lake is carried out as well as that of cow dung by using primary isolation media and biochemical analysis. Physico-chemical parameters of water from the Lake is also determined. Total viable bacteria count and total coliform count of the water range from 3.4 x 104 to 03.8x 106 Cfu/ml and 1.4 x 103to 2.1 x 105Cfu/ml respectively. Cow dung has total coliform count of 6.9 x 105 while fish gills has total coliform count of 1.6x103cfu/g. Bacteria species such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Aeromanas hydrophila, and shigella species were found in the water body. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Salmonella species were found in the fish samples. Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Shigella species and Salmonella species were isolated from cow dung. Physicochemical Parameters such as DO, BOD and N03-N range from 4. 7 to 5.2mg/l, 0.2 to 0.9mg/1 and 7.0 to 9.3 mg/l respectively. This result shows that Kainji Lake is an intermediately polluted water. It is therefore necessary that cow dung used for fertilization of fish ponds should be screened for pathogens before use. It is also recommended that pollution of surface water bodies through human activities should be discourage by legislation on water pollution.

    Description: Ten specimens of African cuttlefish, Sepia bertheloti, from the coastal waters off Qua Iboe River, Southeast Nigeria, were analyzed for the relationship between the concentration of the elements and the size of the species. Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence technique was employed to determine the elemental composition of the species. Eleven elements were identified in the body of cuttlefish. These were Chlorine, Strontium, Potassium, Calcium, Bromine, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Nickel and Selenium of these elements, the concentration of calcium, potassium. Copper and strontium had a positive correlation with the weight, while the concentrations of manganese, nickel, chlorine, iron were negatively correlated with their weights. However, only manganese had a significantly negative correlation (p〈0. 05). Bromine and zinc had no correlation with the weights of the species. There also existed a significant positive correlation between Ca and K, Se and Ni, Cu, Br and Zn and St and K. We conclude that African cuttlefish, irrespective of size is a rich source of nutritional elements and is especially recommended for pregnant women and for all age groups.

    Description: Chlorpyrifos-ethyl with its mode of action was evaluated in laboratory studies to determine its 96-h acute toxicity, using juveniles of Clarias gariepinus. The fish was exposed in glass aquaria to 0.64~cmg/l, 0.80mg/l, 0.96mg/l, 1.12mg/1 and 1. 28mg/1. The test substance was found to have lethal effects on fish as they changed fish behaviour and caused death. The 96-hLC50 value for C. gariepinus was estimated as 0.92mgl-1. Observations of be bavioural and mophlogical responses were used as indicators of sublethal toxicity. The behavioural toxicology bioassay may be valuable in comparing and predicting the mode of action of new or unknown toxicants in this and other fish species.

    Description: Scientists and researchers agree that developmental projects should have impact on the targeted groups. In this context a review was made on the indigenous knowledge system in fishery with a view to elucidating the indispensability of the system due to the increasing acceptance globally. The importance of the system and the factors militating against it where shown. The relationship between fisheries science and the fisher's knowledge was also discussed. Some indigenous practices as well as equipment used by different people were cited. It was concluded that local knowledge of the environment and resources used, as well as the society within which the resultant goods and benefits are distributed is fundamental to the continuity of sound community based management practices. Recommendation was made for research to be conducted in every facet of fishery traditional system with a view to fusing the two; the indigenous and scientific to complement each another.

    Description: Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) were experimented in Lake Kainji using worn out automobile lyres and cement blocks for a period of 12 weeks. Six tyres and blocks were tied together separately in 3 replicates and randomly suspended in the lake at a depth of 2 metre and 50 meter interval. After 8 weeks of suspension, a fleet of gillnets with 76mm mesh size and hung at E-value 0.5 were zigzag set across the suspended FADs for 12 fishing periods with 13 hrs soak time (~c1.0268.D.) per period The trial showed that the cement block FADs attracted more fish (70% of the total fish caught) belonging to 6 different species. The lyres FADs attracted only 3 species of fish constituting some 30% of the total fish caught Citharinus citharus dominated the catch of the block FADs constituting 52.3% of the total catch, while Oreochromis niloticus was 46.4% of the tyre FADs. The Horizontal Enhanced Fishing Zone (EFZ) was found to be between 5 to 12 metres from the location of the FADs. There was significant different (P〈0.05) in the catches of the two FADs.

    Description: Studies on the effects of two fishing baits on the catch composition of Malian Traps in Lake Kainji were monitored. The Traps were set at Monia fishing village in the southern basin of the Lake Baited with boiled yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and fresh palm fruit (Elaeis guineensis) and were inspected twice daily for seven weeks. The fishes caught comprised of nine (9) species belonging to four (4) families. The result of analysis of variance of the biomass as well as number and percentages of fishes caught in the traps by the baits showed there was no significant difference (P〉0.05). However, both baits showed better efficiency for Tilapia zilli, Oreochromis niloticus and Hemichromis fasciatus than other species caught but trap baited with fresh palm fruit had better efficiency for Distichodus restratus and Alestes nurse. There was wide range between the minimum and the maximum size of species caught, which showed the efficiency of the traps capturing small size, juveniles and the adult of large fish species due to small mesh size (1'') net cover of the trap. Recommendations were made for better performance and profitable fishing of Malian traps.

    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.

    Description: This paper examines the role of middlemen in the marketing of smoked fish in Doron Baga fish market of Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State. Data were obtained from 200 respondents using stratified random sampling technique, with the aid of structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. Secondary sources of information were also gathered from research papers, reports and journals. The study revealed that, there are two types of middlemen in the Doron Baga fish market: selling brokers (Dillali) accounting for 75% and buying brokers (Yan acha) 25%. The role played by the selling brokers includes selling for the fishermen with commission, lending money to fishermen and providing security for the unsold fish. Buying brokers assist those that want to buy fish while the buyer gives them little amount of money as commission. Brokers get more clients when the fish during periods of maximum catch. The problems the middlemen face are failure of the fishermen to pay back the money borrowed from the selling brokers while buyers hardly trust the buying brokers.

    Description: Ekiti State has limited water surface area but blessed with some rivers and seven big reservoirs on which some artisanal fishery is being carried out by over 400 fisher folks. Fish farming in Ekiti state is largely dominated by Clarias gariepinus culture. Interest in fish farming is on the increase as farmers construct concrete fish tanks as small as 1.5m2 as well as series of contour earthen ponds or tanks as big as 30m2. The total number of ponds has grown numerically from 96 at the inception of the state in 1996 to about 2000 in 2008. The move towards private/public partnership in aquaculture development will improve the economic and nutritional status of the region.

    Description: The study compares market performance and profitability of fish in Baga-Doro fish market. Respondents were drawn from a cross section of fish marketers in Baga-Doro fish market. Sixty marketers were selected through a system of random sampling. Data collected were on socio-economic characteristics, cost and returns, and problem associated with fish marketing in the study area. Structural questionnaire were the instruments used for data collection .Percentage were used to describe the socio-economic problems associated with fish marketing, while gross and marketing performance models were used to describe the profitability and marketing margin respectively. The result revealed that almost all the marketers are male, with wholesalers and retailers in proportion of 70% and 30% respectively. The age proportion of the fish marketers comprises mostly of men above 45years of age, with 75% of the entire marketers population. Age between 35 and 44 covers about 20% of the population of the marketers, leaving the remaining 5% to age between 25 and 34. The gross margin was used to measure the profit level, which is expressed as: GM=sales revenue. -cost of Goods sold. Major problems faced were that of transportation and storage. The study recommends credit provision to purchase storage facilities and training workshops to increase awareness among others.

    Description: Sustainability in the extraction of fishery resource need to be proactively upheld if the achichment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will be anything to go by in Nigeria and other developing countries. The fishery resource, of the biotic component of the environment, and the main focus of this paper, is renewable resource whose existence if not for adverse environmental factors and natural specialization that occurs over thousands of years, is a continuum. The biological attributes of these fauna and flora render them amenable to usage in manners that still allows their continuous existence for the profit of mankind. Ignorance and the consequent inappropriate harvesting methods and uses of the fishery resource make them prone to abuse, imperilment, and eventual extinction. The influential and important roles of women as fishers, fishmongers. processors, concerned citizens of healthy living and organizers of the end use of the fishery resource put women in a vantage position to influence; thereby, enforcing conservation and sustainability in the extraction of the resource when trained in natural resource management. Consequently, women need to be trained and equipped with knowledge such as basic principles in these areas: biological attributes of the aquatic resources, measures of aquatic resource management, and approaches such as co-management, , communitybased and ecosystem-based approaches to fishery management; including simplified principles embedded within international instruments that form the legal frame work for resource management.

    Description: Nigeria has a coastline of 853km and over 14 million hectares of inland waters and thus owns significant fisheries. The contribution of fisheries to the Nigerian economy is significant in terms of supply of high quality dietary protein, income generation, creation of employment and enhanced inflow of foreign exchange earnings through shrimp export. However, due over-exploitation of the natural resources, by-catch and discard problem, inadequate infrastructure and social amenities development, inadequate supply of fish feed, fish seeds and slow adoption of new technology and management strategies etc. The domestic fish production (0.55 million tons) has fallen short of the demand (1.5million metric tons). Aquaculture development is the solution to the unpredictable production through capture or artisanal/industrial fisheries.

    Description: A model fish smoking kiln was designed and fabricated to use agro-wastes (sawdust, palm kernel shell and rice bran) as alternative to conventionally used charcoal (control) as fuel energy source for smoking fish. Clarias gariepinus was washed, brined and smoked in chunks or whole in the kiln. The smoking kiln has an estimated capacity of 40kg of fish/batch with six fish trays and 36 fish hooks. Heat transfer is by conduction and convection. The rotatory wheel and axle on which the fish drying trays were anchored ensured even distribution of heat. The kiln has 69.4% energy efficiency and drying period of 10 hours at an average temperature range of 60 - 120degreesC, depending on the type of agro-waste used as source of fuel energy. The fuel conversion ratio, drying rates and calorific values of the different agro-waste products were also determined. Calorific value of the four agro-wastes ranged between 16.2MJ/Kg in palm kernel to 30MJ/Kg in charcoal. The drying rates of sawdust and rice bran compare favourably with charcoal and they produced smoked fish similar in dryness and quality with fish smoked with charcoal. Palm kernel had the least drying rate of smoked fish (weight/hour) during the 10-hour smoking duration.

    Description: There have been considerable efforts in recent years to modify fishing gears and practices to target particular sizes and species of fish (fin and shell) and other marine organisms more efficiently. By catch consideration and gear modification play an important role in regulation of several major fisheries and new by-catch reduction devices and other innovative gear modification are continuously being proposed and tested to mitigate against these problems, among which are the turtle excluder device (T.E.DS) in the shrimp trawls to reduce mortality of endangered sea turtle; sorting grids and scaring device in long line fisheries. This paper assesses the incidence of by catch in fisheries, provides a review of successful developments and application of selective fishing techniques that have been used to achieve by-catch reduction. Recommendations were also made on effective monitoring of fishing gears to ensure that devices aimed at reducing by-catch are included and fishermen use only the appropriate gears to limit by-catch and discards.

    Description: The sustainability of the resources requires much more than paying attention to a single factor, rather looking at it in a holistic manner. Specifically, other economic infrastructure and resources that form the essential components of the fisheries system and fishers livelihood needs to be considered. This to a greater extend will permit choice and mobility of livelihood portfolios, hence reduction in fishing efforts and sustainability of the sector, which eventually translate into development of the sector. However, provision of these facilities are often capital intensive and often left for the government along to provide.

    Description: In this study, two heavy metals in canned tuna fish were determined after digestion by the AOAC methods. Mercury and Cadmium levels in canned tuna fish were determined by flame atomic absorption photometry. The results of this study indicate that canned tuna fish imported into the country have concentrations well below the petmissible FAO/WHO levels for these toxic metals. Their contribution to the body burden can therefore be considered negligible and the fish seem to be safe for human consumption. For the sensory evaluation, tuna flakes in vegetable oil (Starkist) from Ghana and light meat tuna chunks in sunflower oil (John West) from Thailand were the most preferred while tuna flakes in brine (John West) from Thailand is the least preferred.

    Description: The food habits of four species of Muglidae, consisting of Liza grandisquamus, L falcipinus, Mugil curema and , were investigated using the frequency of occurrence and numerical methods of analysis. Also, Relative Gut Length (RGL) of fish specimen measured was calculated from fish gut length. Generally, the food consisted mainly diatoms, blue - green & green algae and detritus. Other food items included annelid, crustacea, nematode, insect parts, dinoflagellates and unidentified organisms. M. curema had the least Species Richness Index (2.827) while L grandisquamus had the highest (4.088). The Shanon - Wiener Diversity Index ranged 0.91 in M. curema to 1.03 in L. falcipinus, while Shanon's Index (HI]) ranged from 2.095 (M. curema) to 2.372(L falcipinus).The male M. bananesis had the least mean RGL of 2.48 ~c 0.17 while female L. falcipinus and L grandisquamus had the highest mean RLG of 3.31 ~c 0.13. The food items observed and the RGL suggest that the muglids studied were herbivorous or omnivorous.

    Description: Finfish and shellfish fauna composition of the old Owena reservoir, established over 46 years old for drinking and domestic use in Akure metropolis, Ondo town and other villages were re-examined in 2008/2009 to assess long-term changes in relation to activities in the catchment which have included, another new reservoir constructed up stream in 2006. The pre-stocking assessment of the fauna of the newly constructed reservoir was determined. The degree of change between years in total abundance, numbers of taxa and community composition varied considerably between the two sites. These observed differences may be related to increased flora cover in the well established old reservoir, while the new reservoir is still empty with only tilapia as the predominant fish without established aquatic plants. Only one species of fresh water gastropod was found and identified in the new reservoir, while two species of gastropods and one bivalve were identified in the old reservoir. They were found in abundance within their standard length size range of OA2. - 12.5cm. A positive correlation (R2=0.9227) was obtained for samples collected from the' old reservoir, those from the new reservoir gave a contrasting value (R2=0.20 1).

    Description: Four different shrimp species; Penaeus monodon, Macrobrachiwn vollenhovenii, Macrobrachium felicinllm, Parapenaeopsis atlantica were collected from Lagos and Ondo states coastal waters and examined. The length (em), weight (g), head weight (g), tail weight (g), number of upper and lower rostrum teeth were determined. The species varied differently in weight ranging from 100.70g, 48.30g, 12.l0g and 9.20g for each species respectively. Length of 27.60cm, 18.l0cm, 15.70 and 10.40cm were recorded, head weight of 33.90g, 24.90g, 4.40g, 7.40g. Tail weight; 67.30g, 24.l0g, 7.70g and 3.20g were recorded. While the number of upper and lower rostrum teeth in P. monodon, M. vollenhovenni, P. atlantica, and M. felicinum were; 7-10/1-3, 11-14/3-5, 5-1110, 12-16/3-5 respectively. Penaeus monodon had the highest weight (l00.70g) but had rostrum teeth of 8/3. The result obtained for the species in homogenous subsets revealed that in weight (g), M. felicinum and P. atlantica falls into the same subset, while M. vollenhovenii and P. monodon fall into different subsets. In the length (em), all four species fall into different subsets. In the head weight (g), P. atlantica and M. felicinum fall into the same subset while M. vollenhovenii and P. monodon fall into different subsets. In tail weight, it was also applicable. In number of teeth on the upper rostrum all four species fall into different subsets and in number of down rostrum P. atlantica and P. monodon fall into different subset while M. vollenhovenii and M. felicinum fall into the same subset.

    Description: A 2.14M length overall (LOA) flat bottom canoe (punt), was designed and constructed using locally available materials. The features of the canoe are least cost material, light weight, shallow draft and easy maneuverability. The canoe's light displacement (weight empty) was 28kg, which was less.than local canoe of same size. When placed on water a draft of 5.5cm was achieved which is 14.8% of its depth (37cm). The capacity of the canoe was 200kg, and the total production cost of N8, 700.00 which was, not beyond, the reach of an average fisher folks, or any fish farmer. The canoe was easily maneuvered when propelled by paddling as it floated at a shallow draft; this makes the canoe adequate for use on shallow water bodies such as ponds and reservoirs. Such easily maneuvered craft can also be used on pond or reservoirs for recreation which include, sport fishing, canoeing

    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: 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 effect of delay after slaughter on microbial quality, proximate composition and sensory scores of raw catfish, Clarias gariepinus was evaluated. A total of 52 live catfish (average weight 700.0~c7.0g) were used for the experiment. Ten freshly slaughtered fish samples each were selected for organoleptic assessment at 0, 4, 8 and 12 hours post-slaughter, while three fish samples each were selected for chemical and microbial analyses. Microbial load on fish samples increased significantly (P〈 0.05) with increase in length of delay after slaughter, LODAS. Bacteria isolated included Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus spp and Staphylococcus aureus. Percent protein and ash contents of fish samples increased with increasing LODAS, while moisture content decreased and lipid was not affected. It was observed that raw C. gariepinus retained most of its physical attributes up to 4 hours post-slaughter. These quality attributes except colour and odour of gills, deteriorated significantly (P 〈 0.05) at every successive four-hour post-slaughter interval. Significant negative correlation existed between LODAS and sensory quality of raw fish (eyes, r = -0.966, P 〈 0.05; gills, r = -0.980, P 〈 0.05; skin, r = -0.998, P 〈 0.01; and odour, r = -0.994, P 〈 0.01). This study established that quality of raw C. gariepinus deteriorated with increasing LODAS and that raw C. gariepinus was not totally unacceptable when delayed for 12 hours after slaughter at ambient temperatures.

    Description: A 24-month survey was conducted during the wet (May- August) and Dry (October ?April) season of 2004 and 2006 along eight economic fishing sites in Ondo State bearing Wetland, with the aim of determining the abundance, species diversity of some ornamental species thus promoting ecotourism potential and preventing the loss of these species in the area during and after exploitation. The study was carried out in 4 study zones namely Odigbo (S1), Ode-Aye (S2), Okitipupa (S3), and Ilaje ese-odo (S4) noted for active bitumen seepage. Fishing potential of the area was assessed using catch per unit effort method as well as physico chemical analysis of water samples obtained from designated sites in the area in accordance with AOAC methodology. Fish compositions were assessed using multifilament gillnet, of different sizes hanging from 38 mm to 178 mm. The results revealed that the area is blessed with 24 economic species of fishes belonging to 13 families which could boost the tourist potential of Ondo State. The percentage composition of families identified varies as follows: Ariidae (2.04%), Anabantidae (3.27%), Bagridae (6.36%), Channidae (4.32%), Characidae (10.62%) Cichlidae (45.65%) Clupeidae (3.94%), Clariidae (11.78%), Hepsetidae (0.95%), Mormyridae (7.42 %), Malapteruridae (1.13%), Schilbiidae (1.76%), Polypteridae (0.76%). The family Cichlidae was the most abundant in the area during the study period. The diversity of fish during the study varied with locations and season .The study showed higher fish population during the dry season than raining season and lower population in study zones highly polluted by bitumen seepages. The study emphasizes the need for sustainable resource management during bitumen exploitation.

    Description: The Niger Delta serves as the economic nerve centre of the Nigeria Federation with its vast oil deposits. However the question is how far has the coastal fisheries thrived in the Niger delta since the discovery of crude oil? Fishing is the predominant occupation in the coastal communities. The Niger Delta is home to Nigeria’s oil industry. However, this ‘blessing’ has become a challenge for the people of the Niger Delta. They have suffered environmental devastation, economic poverty, and constant conflict. This paper discusses issues and challenges facing fisheries development in Niger-Delta area of Nigeria.

    Description: This paper reviews some adverse effects of crude oil pollution on fish and fisheries in Nigerian waters. The main causes of spillage include blowout, sabotage, corrosion of pipeline, equipment malfunction, operations/maintenance error etc. There are spillage records from 1976 to 1997 with respect to the yearly oil spill incidents, the sizes of spill in relation to the ecological operational areas and the causes of oil spills in relation to sources of oil spill within oil operation. Based on the observation from the analyses of the spillage reports, several steps were recommended in order to reduce the incident of crude oil spillage in Nigeria petroleum industry for the safety of our fragile water bodies and the fisheries resources stock in them.

    Description: The kilishi of Heterotis niloticus was produced for determination of appropriate slurry formulations for fish kilishi preparation. Thirty six freshly caught samples of H. niloticus with average weight of 306.20 ~c 18.33g, kilishi of this species was prepared with three different slurry formulations of high (F1), medium (F2) and low (F3) proportions of groundnut dough to spice mixture in the ratio of 1.3: 1.0, 1.0: 1.2 and 1.0: 1.8, respectively. Results of proximate composition indicated that kilishi of the H. niloticus prepared with formulation 3 (F3) recorded significantly higher (p〈0.05) protein content (54.22 ~c 0.01 %) and lower lipid content (8.00 ~c 0.00%), despite recording significantly higher (p〈0.05) moisture content (9.93 ~c 0.07%). Sensory score of kilishi of H. niloticus processed with F3 formulation rated significantly higher (p〈0.05) for taste, flavour and general acceptability with mean scores of 5.94 ~c 0.21,5.77 ~c 0.20 and 5.50 ~c 0.22, respectively. It could be concluded that kilishi of H. niloticus prepared with F3 formulation was the most acceptable hence, recommended for use in kilishi production.

    Description: Biotechnology per se is not a panacea for the world's problems of hunger and poverty. However, genetic engineering in particular, offers outstanding potentials to increase the efficiency of animal improvement. Thus, biotechnology could enhance global food production and availability in a sustainable way. Case studies from Egypt and India also demonstrate that highly immune genetically modified fishes, transgenic fishes, chromosome engineering and gene banking are very appropriate for fish farmers and consumers in developing countries. As the entire technology can be packaged into the germ cells of fish, it can easily be integrated into traditional small-holder fish farming systems. Except for a few innovative transfer projects, though, the application of biotechnology until now remains concentrated in the industrialized world. Combined with insufficient own scientific and regulatory capacities, the increasing privatization of international aquacultural and fisheries research and the strengthening of intellectual property rights complicate the access of developing countries to biotechnology. Profound constitutional adjustments are therefore essential to ensure that biotechnology does not bypass the poor.

    Description: The microbial load of four different fish species from five different market locations in Ibadan metropolis were determined using standard microbiological procedures. The bacteria count of fish sampled from Ojo market was the highest while the bacteria count of the fish sample from Bodija market was the lowest. There was no significant difference (p〈0.05) in the microbial load of the fish sampled from various market locations in Ibadan metropolis. Similarly, there was no significant difference (p〉0.05) in the microbial load on various fish species sold in Ibadan metropolis. The isolated bacteria from the study were: E. coli, Salmonella spp, Klebsiella spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Aerosomonas spp, Pseudomonas spp, Vibrio spp, Serratia spp, Chromobacterium spp, Enterobacteria spp and Shigella spp. The fungi count of fish sampled from Omi markets was the highest while the fungi count of the fish sampled from Ojo market was the lowest. The following fungi were however isolated from the study: Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium spp, Fusarium oxysporum, Trrichoderma spp and Ceotrichium albidium. The study shows that reheating may be necessary to destroy or inactivate micro-organisms in smoked fish before consumption.

    Description: An investigation was conducted on the morphometric features and proximate body composition of rocky freshwater prawn, Caridina africana occurring at Erin-Ijesa Waterfalls in Osun State, Nigeria. The adult prawns were collected at the first layer of the Waterfalls using scoop nets and locally fabricated sieves because of the shallow nature of the water body and tiny size of the species. Morphometric features were measured using measuring board and Vernier calipers while the proximate analysis was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in the laboratory. The morphometric variables placed the species correctly into the Infra order Caridea and family Atyidae because the first and second chelipeds were shorter than the remaining three pairs of walking legs. Male prawns were significantly bigger (p〈0.05). than the females as revealed in the morphometric features. The proximate analysis showed that C. africana is composed of 58.79% protein, 5.42% lipid, 11.56% carbohydrate, 14.7% ash and 0.21 % crude fibre. The micro-nutrient composition included iron, zinc, copper, nickel and cadmium. The values for these nutrients make the study to suggest that C. africana could be a nutritive food bio-material for humans and other livestock nutrition especially the fin-fish aquaculture programme.

    Description: This study investigates the morphometric and meristic features of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus in relations to heavy metal concentrations. Varying sizes of Clarias nigrodigitatus were obtained with the help of fisher-folks, from Arakanga reservoir Ogun state, Nigeria. Water samples were also collected alongside with fish samples per week and five of the samples were sent to laboratory for analysis to determine the presence of four heavy metals in both fish and water. Lead, Cadmium, Nickel and Arsenic were investigated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Four tissues; gills, kidney, liver and muscle were compared with the level of metals in the water. Lower concentrations of metals were recorded in water except for Cadmium which is higher, than in fish. Lower concentration of heavy metals found in fish and water was less than that recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO's) guideline for maximum concentration recorded in the tissue of the samples. Lead was found to be dominant in the gills of C. nigrodigitatus, while Cadmium was found to be highest in the water sample from Arakanga reservoir. There is significant difference (P〈0.05) in Nickel and Arsenic concentration in the tissues of C. nigrodigitatus and water. It was concluded that though the heavy metals of interest were present in measurable quantities, they were still within safe limits for consumption.

    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 effect of zinc exposure evaluated during a four day exposure periods at 13.88ppm, 26.75ppm, 53.5ppm,107ppm and 214ppm to Clarias gariepinus sub-adults showed the 96h LC50 as 26.62ppm. The threshold value was 20.30ppm. The muscle of the exposed fish analyzed showed a significant decrease in all the major cations and anions (Na+, CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) at (p〈0.05). The research revealed that there was no total inhibition of uptake of the cations and anions and also that uptake of these metals, that is cations and anions (Na+,-CL-, Ca2+ K+, Mg2+) increased rapidly during the 24 hours and dropped at 48 hours and 72 hours and gradually increased at the end of 96 hours showing that it was time dependent. During exposure period, affected fish stood in upright position with their snouts above the water surface, gasping for air. Observation of the exposed fish showed that they were peeling of skin, increase in opercula movement, erratic swimming, quietness and finally death. This research therefore recommends that zinc should be applied appropriately at 26.30ppm to avoid death of fish, man and other aquatic organisms that are the chief consumer.

    Description: Assessment of the result of crude oil spillage that occurred at Aguobiri Community in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State in 2007, is presented in this paper. The results of the laboratory analysis of water samples for Total Hydro carbon content (THC) was 1.56mg/l, 2.94mg/l and 23.96mg/l at 300m,200m and 9m respectively from the spill point. Heavy metals values in plant tissues were Vanadium-2.1 4mg/kg, Nicke-4.06mg/kg and THC of 09,309.5mg/kg at 300m from the spill point. The values of heavy metals in soil samples were Vanadium 2.14mg/kg and Nickel4.19mg/kg and THC of 133,886.20mg/kg at 300m from the spill point. This is to buttress the fact that oil spill is not limited to the site of occurrence but spreads to affect flora life far away from the spill point. Consequently, this negatively impacts farming and fisheries activities in such areas.

    Description: Organoleptic characteristcs and eating acceptability of different processed fresh water clam (Galatea paradoxa) from Bayelsa state, Nigeria was evaluated. One hundred and fourteen (114) samples of clam (Galatea paradoxa) used for the processing experiment were obtained from Amassoma market. All samples were processed traditionally viz: smoked-dried, cooked with banga sludge and fried respectively. Thirty six (36) member taste panel were randomly selected to evaluate the organoleptic characteristics of the samples. Acceptibility of product was scored on a 6-point hedonic scale. The highest ratings of organoleptic characteristics were recorded for fresh water clam samples prepared by frying (5.24 ~c 0.54) while the least (4.47 ~c 0.27) was recorded for samples that were prepared by cooking with water (P〈0.05). The results revealed that males had a preference for fried clam product while females had equal preference for clams fried and cooked in palm kernel sludge. The highest acceptability (88.89%) was observed in the samples that were subjected to frying method, while the least (80.56%) was recorded for samples that were smoked-dried. More research should be geared towards packaging these products for export.

    Description: Fish is one of the most nutritious diet on earth, and contributes a considerable proportion of its protein to the Nigerian populace. Fifty-four specimens composing of six samples from each species, were analyzed in frozen and smoked states, monthly. Each set of six specimens were cut into two equal parts and randomly re-arranged into two groups. One group was smoked while the other was preserved in the freezer (at-2~'C) for 5 days. The highest moisture content was observed in frozen samples of Mormyrops deliciosus thus: (77.14 ~c 11.05%). Smoked O. niloticus had the highest protein content (26.79 ~c 0.74%) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (13.37 ~c 2.57%). Smoked samples of Oreochromis niloticus recorded the highest fat content accounting for a value of (25.97 ~c 0.51 %) while the least was observed in frozen Mormyrops deliciosus (7.97 ~c 0.45%). It could be concluded that while frozen samples loosed nutrient, smoked ones gained nutrients in all three species. The study recommends that fish be consumed in their smoked state, in preference to frozen ones, in response to higher nutritive value. Oreochromis niloticus which recorded the highest nutritive value in crude protein content, should be consumed more, followed by Labeo coubie and Mormyrops deliciosus in that order.

    Description: Studies of food and feeding ecology are important to investigate trophic interrelationships of fishes in their resident water bodies. These are usually achieved using various important methods. However because no single measure gives an overall representation of the feeding habits of fish, best results are achieved only when methods are used to complement one another. This paper reviews various methods used in studying trophic fish ecology and suggests consolidation of the traditional or basic methods with relevant statistical indices and local ecological knowledge. More advanced methods are also proposed as valuable tools because they compensate for some possible errors that may arise from the use of quantitative methods.

    Description: A review of migratory activity in fishes reveals that migration is important for the completion of life cycle. Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the wide spread existence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumed not to move between habitats. These movements are often for spawning, feeding and refuge, and in many cases are fundamental for the successful completion of life cycles. Chemical and physical changes in water environment affect the migration of fish. Most fish undertake feeding, breeding or wintering migrations. A number of studies have documented the influence of freshwater and ocean conditions, climate variability and human impacts resulting from impoundment and aquaculture on fish migration.

    Description: Study was conducted on the reproductive efficiency of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus of the Cross River. The objective was to determine the influence of age on eggs size and fecundity. Forty four females of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus were sampled from April, 2011 to March, 2012. Fecundity and eggs size were measured in relation to fish size. The relationship between egg size and fish size produced a parabolic curve. This implies that younger fish and older fish were less efficient in terms of eggs size and quality while the middle aged fishes were more efficient in terms of eggs size and quality. Similarly, there was an inverse curvilinear relationship between number of eggs per unit weight and somatic weight of the fish. Younger fish are less efficient because of the physiology of growth, while the older fishes are less efficient because of reproductive senescence. Management strategy for the stock therefore requires the conservation of the middle aged individuals for increase in reproduction. Also in aquaculture the middle aged class should be used as broodstock for excellent results.

    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: Fish species have different responses to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure to crude oil. Some achieve PAH biotransformation while others have bioconcentration. These trends may be specie-specific and may depend on PAH uptake route - through water or food. PAH uptake in the red sea bream, Pagrus major for PAH biomonitoring in Asian oil spill waters was assessed in water-borne and dietary exposures of the fish to four representative PAHS. In the water-borne exposure, juvenile fish of average weight 83g were exposed in a flow-through toxicity test for ten (10) days to a mix of 30~kg/L phenanthrene, pyrene, and chrysene; 3~kg/L of benzo[a] pyrene (B[a]P). In the dietary exposure, 20 juveniles of average weight 80g were fed diets with 10 n g/g phenanthrene, pyrene and chrysene, and 2 n g/g of B[a]P for ten days. Fish livers were sampled for PAH concentrations on days 0, 2, 5 and l0 in both exposures. Phenanthrene PAHs were accumulated in the water-borne exposure with concentrations increasing with duration of exposure. Phenanthrene had the highest concentration of 2210 ng/g on day 10, while pyrene and chrysene were 170 and 45 ng/g respectively. B[a]P was not accumulated. ln the dietary exposure, all the test PAHs were accumulated. Bioconcentration decreased with duration of exposure, unlike in the water-borne exposure which was the reverse. Phenanthrene, with an initial 58 ng/g concentration, was reduced to 10.6 ng/g on day 10. B[a]P accumulation in the dietary exposure is significant. PAH accumulation was higher in the water-borne exposure than in the dietary exposure and PAH bioconcentration in the fish depends on uptake route.

    Description: The influence of indices of reproduction (Gonadosomatic index-GSI-and Hepatosomatic index -HSI-) on condition factor and morphometric features of Tilapia guineensis were examined using 160 fish comprising 70 females and 90 males. Total length, standard length and body depth were measured to the nearest 1cm, while each fish was weighed to the nearest 0.1 g. The gonads and liver were removed and weighed separatdy to the nearest 0.00lg. Gonadosomatic index, Hepatosomatic index and condition factor were calculated. Correlation analysis between the reproductive indices and the external features of the fish were carried out. Results revealed positive correlation between gonadosomatic index and body depth and between GSI and standard length in both sexes, indicating the dependence of gonadal development on body depth and standard length in both sexes. However, the relationship between the reproductive indices and total length was significant only in the female. The relationship between HSI and Standard length was also significant in female (P〈0.01, r = 0.707) and male (P〈0.05, r = -0.216), but in positive and negative direction-respectively. The correlation between the reproductive indices and condition factor were not significant in both sexes. The correlation of GSI and HSI in male (r = 0.062) was not significant, while the positive correlation of GSI and HSI in female (r= 0.300) was significant (P〈0.05). It was therefore concluded that body depth and standard length could be important factors in determining spawning success in both sexes, while total length may be an additional tool in determining spawning success only in female T. guineensis.

    Description: Changes in water quality caused by industrialization and technological advancement, affect fishery resources. The Warri River like many other water bodies in Niger Delta, Nigeria are experiencing side effects in terms of pollutant build up cum destruction of fishery resources. This study investigated the fish species composition/diversity of the river in comparison to the baseline studies of previous researchers. Nine sampling locations were chosen including, Jeddo, NNPC Jetty, Nigeria ports Authority jetty, Main Warri market, Delta Steel Jetty, Shell Ramp, Udu Bridge/market Ugbolokposo and Agbarho.Fish species were collected from the respective nine Locations monthly for 24 months. Fish were obtained from landings of local fishermen every fortnight with prior arrangement. Highest diversity index of 3.48 occurred at shell Ramp/Globestar, while the least value of 2.63 was recorded at NNPC Jetty. The condition factor of most fish species in the study were above 1.0, though more species were better conditioned in location 1 (Jeddo). The catfish families probably due to their hardy nature were best conditioned of all families represented. Thirty four fish species recorded in this study compared to 91 species obtained in previous works of 1989 -1994 reflects a sharp drop in species diversity.

    Description: Globally, aquatic ecosystems are highly polluted with heavy metals from anthropogenic and terrigenous sources. The objectives of this study, is to portray the use of EDXRF for the analysis of heavy metal pollution in Clarias gariepinus. C. gariepinus were collected from Dumba, Lake Chad, Nigerian sector and analyzed with EDXRF with 〈sup〉109〈/sup〉Cd as excitation source of the samples. The concentrations of Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Iron, Lead and Zinc (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn) in mg/kg were determined in C. gariepinus and were compared with World Health Organization (WHO, 1985) and Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA, 2003) to ascertain the level of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Fe, Pb and Zn in C. gariepinus from Dumba. The results indicated that C. gariepinus is polluted with Cr, Cu, Mn, and Pb when compared with permissible limit of WHO, 1985 and FEPA, 2003. Therefore, the consumption of C. gariepinus from Dumba may pose a health risk.

    Description: The Length-weight relationship and changes in the condition factor of Citharinus citharus of the Lake Akata, an ox-bow Lake of River Katsina-Ala, a tributary of River Benue was studied. A total of five hundred and five (505) fish samples were collected from May 2008-April 2009. Length-weight relationship of fish was estimated from the equation: W = a.Lb which was transformed to base 10 logarithm, and condition factor (k) was determined using the equation: K=100W/L3. Both sexes of C. citharus in Lake Akata exhibited negative allometric growth pattern. The combined length weight relationship of C. citharus sexes was LogW = - 1.7738 + 2.9044 LogL (r2 = 0.9527). The coefficient of determination for the Length-Weight relationship for both sexes of C. citharus in Lake Akata was strongly positive. The mean condition factor for the combined sexes was 1.37 ~c 0.02, but individually, female C. citharus were in better condition (1.44 ~c 0.03) compared to the males (1.29 ~c 0.02). The condition factor of C. citharus in dry season (1.37 ~c 0.03) was not significantly higher than that of (1.36 ~c 0.03) in wet season (p〉0.05). This means the fish species are living well in the lake as the 'K' value are greater than one.

    Description: Fishery production is significant to Nigerian economy in view of its roles in providing cheap source of food/nutrition security, income, employment, serves as source of foreign exchange, particularly those of the riparian communities. Despite these significant roles, fisheries subsector is faced with huge challenges, such as: decreasing yield, inefficient management of fishing policy, inadequate technological and commercial knowledge among others, thereby limiting its production potentials. The possibility of fish production especially artisanal fisheries to match up with fish productivity in the economy depends on fishing operation, efficient use of laboour, sustainable and efficient management of fishing policy. Therefore the essence of this study is to review the challenges in fish production in Nigeria, Economic perspective, with emphasis on the role of fisheries in economic development, decreasing fish yield, market forces and resource inefficiency.

    Description: Climate change has the potential to severely impact coastal and inland environments and ecosystems, and by extension fisheries and aquaculture. Coastal regions of the world are already experiencing flooding due to rise in sea level. In recent times, salinization of coastal areas due to flooding from storm surges and high tidal influence has been observed. Aquaculture is a fast growing agri-business venture in Nigeria presently and many coastal communities derive their livelihood from it. The culture of freshwater fish species that are very sensitive to high salinity may be threatened leading to mortality of stocked fish and loss of livelihood for coastal population. Consequently, there is urgent need for development and domestication of the Silver catfish, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus that can tolerate higher salinity more than Mudcatfish (Clarias gariepinus). This will help mitigate the impact of salinization of coastal areas arising from sea water flooding on culture of fresh water fish species.

    Description: The sub-lethal effect of glyphosate on behavior and some biochemical parameters of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus were investigated using static renewal bioassays and continuous aeration for a period of 28 days using varying concentrations (100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm, 400ppm and 500ppm). During the exposure period, the fish showed different abnormal behaviours such as restlessness, loss of balance, respiratory distress, grouping together, darting movements, loss of equilibrium, mucous secretion and erratic swimming. At the end of the experiments, the fish were sacrificed and the blood samples were collected. The gill and liver of the fish were removed from biochemical bioassay. Compared with the control, the result showed a significant increase (P〈0.05) in the activities of alanine amino transferase (ALT), and aspartate amino transferase (AST), in both the blood and the gill of exposed fish except in liver where it showed a significant reduction. However the values of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), showed significant increase in the blood with a noticeable decrease in both the gill and liver of exposed fish. The study showed that sub-lethal concentratiom of glyphosate are harmful to Clarias gariepinus. This study shows that sub-lethal concentrations of glyphosate is harmful to Claria gariepinus. The implication of these results in rational exploitation and conservation of fishery resources and the public health risk consuming glyphosate-exposed to fish are highlighted.

    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: The growth pattern and condition factor (K) of 810 Lagoon crabs (Callinectes amnicola) fouled with Barnacles (Chelonibia patula), collected from Makoko Jetty, off Lagos Lagoon between April-September 2011 were studied. The carapace length f C. amnicola examined ranged from 3.8cm-8.6cm while the carapare width ranged from 9.5cm-15.4cm. The total weight ranged from 53.1g to 165.0g, indicating that increase in length correspond to increase in weight, thereby suggested that C. amnicola from Lagos Lagoon exhibited a negative allometric growth. The correlated coefficient 'r' for the crabs was 0.68, showing a low correlation between carapace length weight in the lagoon crabs fouled with barnacles. The condition factor (K) values of C. amnicola fouled with barnacles ranged from 3.2-9.7 with a mean value of 5.4. The highest K-value was recorded for the size group 3.5-4.4. The value decreased with increased length of C. ammcola. The sex ratio (1:80) indicated that there were more females (98.8%) than males (1.2%), 12 (1.5%) of the 810 lagoon crabs examined were heavily fouled with barnacles distributed all over the points of attachment with the cora having the most attachment (91.6 6%). Average diameter of the barnacles attached to the crabs ranged from 0.23cm to 1.85cm. The distribution shows that large-sized crabs had much banacles attached to them than small-sized crabs, with greater barnacles found in the females than in the males.

    Description: A survey of the fish processing practices of the fishing settlement around Jabi lake area in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was conducted. The main purpose of constructing the reservoir is to serve as the main source of water supply to the FCT, fishing and fish processing became prominent. Fishermen are recording very low fish catch and the level of hygiene in fish handling practices is very low. The processors are majorly involved in smoking and frying which is dominated by 79% of middle aged young men whereas, 21% are women. The scale of fish processing in Jabi Lake area is still at the subsistence level. Furthermore, the processors do not package the processed fish products, rather they gather them in baskets and plastic bowls. FCT resideents usually procurelive and smoked fish from Kado fish market.

    Description: Effect of spices on the chemical properties of hot-smoked catfish (C.gariepinus) was examined. The experimental design was complete randomized design (CRD) with the treatments been the variously spiced hot-smoked catfish (garlic, ginger, garlic-ginger homogenate spiced and the control without spices). Proximate and mineral content analyses were carried out using standard experimental procedures. There exist significant differences (p〈0.05) in the percentage moisture and crude protein content with smoked catfish without spices having the highest moisture content with mean value 6.18 ~c 0.13 and 79.44 ~c 0.13 respectively which could be as a result of the increase in the fibre content of the spiced fish products which is a function of fibre content of the spices applied to the fish products. Similar trend was also observed for the lipid and ash contents the fish products. There exist significant differences (p〈0.05) in the mineral content preseent in the various fish products with the exception of magnesium. The products are rich in calcium and other minerals with garlic-ginger homogenate spiced product having the highest level of calcium (0.980 ~c 0.02).

    Description: A study was conducted on the old NIFFR smoking kiln in order to improve on it. The parameters used to determine the smoking efficiency include the loss in weight of the fish samples, temperature and the time taken to properly smoke the fish using fire wood as smoking fuel. The smoking kiln was tested by smoking three different species of fish: Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromies niloticus, Synodontis membranecious over a period of two hours. The modified smoking kiln was discovered to perform faster. Its advantage over the already existing one is that it is faster in smoking fish to a regular golden brown colour. The temperature of the heat supplied was quite higher about 100~'C to 120~'C than the commonly used drum oven. The smoking kiln has the average oroduction cost of No.90,000.
