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 go...

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The Aquaculture Compendium is an encyclopedic, multimedia tool that brings together a wide range of different types of science-based information to support sound decision-making in aquaculture and aquatic resource management wor...

Climate is dynamic in the sense that analysis of some relevant climate elements revealed that natural forces have enforced change over centuries (Cunningham and Cunningham, 2004) and such changes are inevitable natural occurrences. However, anthropogenic factors have exacerbated climate change in...

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...

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Economic history provides strong evidence that an agricultural revolution is a necessary precondition for economic progress. Ayoola (2015) opined that the agriculture sector has the ability to serve as an industrial and economic springboard...

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 
Aquaculture is one method for bridging the gap between declining fish availability and growing global food fish demand. Africa, especially Nigeria, has limited aquaculture heritage and has been hampered by a variety of externa...

Background of the Study

Aquaculture has, in fact, matured into a worldwide resilient and essential industry over the course of the past three decades, recording the most significant and most fast growth among the food-producing industries. According to...

BACKGROUND TO STUDY

One area of the environment that has lately attracted global attention is biodiversity conservation. Biodiversity is defined as the variety and variability of living species and the ecological complexity in which they live  as observed by Altier...

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to assessing inland aquaculture in Nigeria: improving fingerling supply and fish nutrition for smallholder farms using in Sagamu, Ogun state as a case study. Specifically, the study examine the level of productio...

 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM 
Inland aquaculture is an integral component of the overall agricultural production system in Nigeria. The major species cultured in Nigeria include tilapias, catfish and carp; however the African catfish Clarias gariepi...

ABSTRACT

In this study, our focus was to carryout  a critical analysis on the methods of improving productivity and profitability of smallholder shrimp aquaculture and related agribusiness in Nigeria.

The study adopted the survey research...

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out on improving technologies for inland aquaculture in Nigeria. To achieve this, three significant research objectives were formulated. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were em...

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...

ABSTRACT

This study is aimed at the assessment of sawdust activated carbon in the treatment of aquaculture effluent with various objectives which includes the determination of the SAC properties, effluent parameters, effect of operating conditions and application of relevant adsorption...

INTRODUCTION

The story of aquaculture in Nigeria is essentially the story of catfish culture and the hope of fish supply in Nigeria hang on its development and culture. Recent trends all over the world, point to a decline in landing from capture fisheries, an indicator...

Abstract

The increasing levels of environmental pollution by toxic metals from various sources have generated a great concern on their impact on human health. Rapid developments, increase in mining activities, farming, insurgency, industrial activities and waste disposals have gradually...

ABSTRACT

The irrational consumption of water is one of the greatest problem in the world today. Irrigation of agricultural crops with fish effluent is one way to solve this problem. Rather than disposing of effluents gotten from aquaculture; then providing nutrients from fertilizer and...

ABSTRACT

Automated system of fish farming has become inevitable due to the immense importance of fisheries aquaculture. The efficiency of any fish rearing system depends on monitoring and control of pond water quality parameters as well as adequate feeding and a reliable power source. T...

ABSTRACT

The effect of albino gene on intraspecific hybridazation of African Catfish and Albino Clarias gariepinus was carriedout to determined their latency period, fecundity, fertility, hatchability survival, growth performance, some morphometric and meristics characteristics and gene...

ABSTRACT

Studies on toxicological and sedative effects of Datura innoxia plant parts (leaf, seed, stem, pod and root) on Clarias gariepinus fingerlings were conducted under laboratory conditions using the static bioassays and continuous aeration. The aim was to develop an effective anae...
