PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND MICROBIAL LOAD IN CONCRETE POND REARED WITH CLARIUS GARIEPINUS FISH

ABSTRACT Microbial assessment of smoked  Scombia scombia spp.  of fish procured from two markets in Owerri metropolis was carried out. The samples were analyzed using bacteriological and fungi media. The average bacteria counts ranges from 3.1X106-6.8X106cfu/g while the average fungi counts ranges from 0.0-0.3X106cfu/g. Four species of bacteria... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Chlorella vulgaris is an edible microalgae and a highly notorious potential feed resource for many agriculturally important animal species. Chlorella vulgaris intake has also been linked to improvements in animal health and welfare. Its influence over animal development stems from its nutritive and protein-rich composition, thus leading... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Water released from ponds has greater concentrations of nutrients, organic matter and suspended solids. This study investigated the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of fish pond waste water harvested from a source which served as the control, three different ponds and at the point of discharge in Afe Babalola University...
