ABSTRACT

Nigeria has over three thousand Ornamental Fish species and the potential of being one of the leading exporters. In spite of the flourishing trade of Ornamental Fish worldwide however, her extant share of the trade is below 5% of Africa‟s total contribution. In addition, there is paucity of information on the marketing factors influencing Ornamental Fish trade in Nigeria. The marketing channel and factors influencing Ornamental Fish trade in Nigeria were therefore investiga...

2. ASSESSMENT OF GENETIC STRUCTURE OF CLARIAS GARIEPINUS, BURCHELL, 1822 POPULATION IN ASEJIRE LAKE

38 Student Researchers

Abstract

Wild brood-stock is a major genetic reservoir for sustainable culture of Clarias gariepinus. This has been observed to be declining in major freshwater dams in Nigeria. There is inadequate information on factors responsible for this decline and their effects on genetic structuring of the fish resources in these dams. This study therefore investigated genetic structure of C. gariepinus in relation to environmental condition of Asejire Dam. The Dam was spatially divided into...

3. NUTRIENT UTILISATION AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF CLARIAS GARIEPINUS FED DIFFERENTLY PROCESSED MUCUNA UTILIS MEALS AS A REPLACEMENT FOR SOYBEAN-BASED DIET

38 Student Researchers

ABSTRACT

High cost of feed and competition between fish and other livestock‟s feed industries necessitate research into low cost, non-conventional feedstuffs for profitable fish farming. The feed potential of Mucuna utilis in this direction has not been documented. The feed potentials of Mucuna utilis and its effects on growth and biochemical parameters of the African catfish, Clarias gariepinus were therefore investigated. Proximate, mineral composition and level of L-DOPA (3, 4-di...

7. INLAND AQUACULTURE IN NIGERIA: IMPROVING FINGERLING SUPPLY AND FISH NUTRITION FOR SMALLHOLDER FARMS

38 Student Researchers

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 
Aquaculture is the husbandry of aquatic food organisms. The need arose from the decrease in supply from ocean fisheries as a result of over-fishing, habitat destruction and pollution. One of the ways to bridge the gap between the reduced fish supply and increased world food fish demand is through aquaculture. Africa including Nigeria has little aquaculture tradition and has been affected by a number of external problems that have prevented...

15. DEVELOPING AQUACULTURE IN DEGRADED INLAND AREAS IN NIGERIA

38 Student Researchers Quantitative

EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY

In contrast to the rest of the world, per capita fish consumption in sub-Saharan Africa including Nigeria has declined to almost half of the global average and despite suitable natural conditions; aquaculture provides only 2 percent of the region‟s supply of fish and little economic growth, employment and foreign exchange (World Bank, 2006). Past aquaculture development efforts have largely failed due to weak institutions, poor access to finance and a heavy re...

18. DEVELOPING AQUACULTURE IN DEGRADED INLAND AREAS IN NIGERIA

38 Student Researchers Quantitative

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Nigeria, the country of many rivers, is also rich in lakes, reservoirs and wetlands but many of them had been degraded due to a lot of factors (FGN, 1993). Sustainable fisheries production and development depends largely upon good aquatic environment.
