This study was carried out to evaluate ginger (Zingiber officinale) for ten weeks... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT. The study examined the effect of battery waste on African catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Massive spent batteries when disposed indiscriminately constitute nuisance and cause resource waste as well as environmental pollution to the ecosystems. The fish were exposed to five different concentrations as T 1 5g,T2 l Og, T3 15g, T4 20g, T 5... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An 8 weeks feeding trial of different percentage inclusion of Thevetia peruviana seed meal in the diet of Clarias gariepinus was conducted. The experimental diets were Ctr0TSM, 5TSM, 10TSM 15TSM and 20TSM percentage replacement of plant protein in the control diet. The experimental design is a complete randomize design in which there were... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Eight weeks trial was conducted to study the effect of dietary inclusion of autoclaved castor seed meal on growth performance, body composition and haematology of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. 150 Clarias gariepinus fingerlings were divided randomly into 5 groups of ten fish/tank each to five treatments. The experimental design is a... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Three different chemicals: fonnalin, hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate were used for intermittent prophylactic treatment of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (2.43±0.04) for 10 weeks. The experiment was made up of four treatments: Tl (Control), T2 (Potassium permanganate at 2ppm concentration), T3 (Hydrogen peroxide at 1600ppm... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This study evaluated the nutritive and organoleptic properties of three fish species processed using three methods, sun-drying, smoking and trying in Ailara fishing community of Asa Reservoir in Kwara State. Sun-dried Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus and Hydrocynus forskahlii is on the average more nutritive and better preserved... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A 96 hour bioassay was conducted to determine the toxicity of cassava effluent to Claries gariepinus juveniles and its effects on the gills and liver as well as on some blood parameters such as packed cell volume (PCV), Red blood cells (RBC), White blood cells (WBC), Haemoglobin concentration (Hb) and their counts. Juveniles of C.... Continue Reading
