The aim of this work was to study the effect tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum) leaf dust at sublethal concentrations (375.6, 187.8, 93.9 0.0mg/L) on biochemical parameters Hybrid catfish in a static semi-renewable bioassay system with ascertain its test fish after 14 days exposure period. effects plant dose-dependent, revealing significant difference albumin, glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, urea, and uric acid serum, liver kidney; total protein globulin serum kidney creatinine calcium while...

Information on water quality indicators and pollution levels are critical for resource preservation sustainable use.To this vein, study considered the physicochemical properties, bacterial fungal burdens in Wupa River, which is part of Jabi River watershed, Abuja, Nigeria.Water samples were collected from two (2) sampling points assessments period six months (January to June 2021) using standard procedures.The parameters revealed that temperature ranged 24.75 26.65°C, Dissolved oxygen (DO)...

One of the primary issues brought about by industrialization's rapid development is aquatic pollution. Utilizing microorganisms to remediate industrial wastewater (IWW) a sustainable approach. This study was conducted assess pollution load in Wupa treatment plant and use introduced microbes (Bacillus subtillis Aspergillus niger) individually consortium for bioremediation. The Abuja provided samples, which were then analysed heavy metal content other physicochemical characteristics....

One of the biological components that play a vital role in ecological integrity an aquatic ecosystem is zooplankton. These organisms are good indicators stressors, especially anthropogenic stressors their environment. Thus, there need to study diversity diversified freshwater lake (Dangana Lake) order provide baseline information and knowledge on status for proper adequate water preservation conservation. In addition zooplankton structure determination, also examined physicochemical...

The present study investigated the effect of sublethal concentrations Portland cement powder in solution (PCPS) (39.10, 19.55, 9.87 and 0.00 mg/L) on aminotransferases (Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Aspartate (AST)) African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) with aim to ascertain which selected organs (liver or kidney) serum was mostly affected by toxicant after a 15-day exposure period. PCPS Clarias gariepinus significantly different (p < 0.01). decrease activity inversely proportional...

This study investigated the effect of sublethal concentrations (7.50, 5.00, 2.50 and 0.00 g\L (control)) Jatropha curcas leaf dust on some liver kidney biochemical profiles such as total protein, bilirubin, albumin globulin hybrid catfish (Clarias gariepinus (♀) Heterobranchus bidorsalis (♂)) after a 14-day experimental period. The result was significantly different in mean value determined while were insignificantly exposed fish compared with control. revealed varying levels insignificant...

The study investigated the alterations in biochemical parameters of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) exposed to neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder during short term experimental period static renewable bioassay system. fish with mean length and weight 18.35 ± 0.60cm 22.38 1.25g respectively were 0.192, 0.096, 0.048 0.00mg/L concentrations for 14-day period. During period, some physicochemical such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen total alkalinity monitored weekly. At end...

The rapid increase in fish farming has been affected by outbreak of diseases and erratic feed costs. These challenges have stimulated the use antibiotics to rear fish. Unfortunately, excessive inhibits or kills beneficial gut microbiota makes antibiotic residues accumulate products, which are harmful for human consumption. biological strategies therefore, adopted improve health status, growth performance reduce predisposition diseases. This become necessary view EU ban on most used as...

Understudying the presence of bacteria and fungi population on freshwater fishes, provides knowledge understanding their diversity potential roles they may play in health aquatic terrestrial ecosystems. The present study was conducted to evaluate species identified fish samples from River Mijawal, Nasarawa State. fishes were sampled only landing for three months (October December, 2019) this study. During sampling periods, thirteen (13) different identified; swabbed with sterilized swab...

The effect of sublethal concentrations (39.10, 19.55, 9.78 mg/L) Portland cement powder in solution (PCPS) was investigated on nitrogenous waste products the serum, liver and kidney African catfish (Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)). levels urea, uric acid, creatinine direct bilirubin were significantly different exposed fish after a 15-day exposure period. level urea increased serum (p < 0.05), 0.05) 0.01); acid decreased but 0.05). Creatinine Thus, this investigation has revealed that...

Dangana Lake was constructed primarily to provide water for drinking, domestic activities and control flood. Phytoplankton assemblage physicochemical parameters of Lake, Lapai, Niger State Nigeria were investigated monthly between March October 2019 using standard methods procedures. Water samples collected from 3 different stations in the Lake. The result lake shows temperature (23.2-29.5ºC), Biochemical oxygen Demand (2.30-3.91mg/l), Dissolved (3.40-4.70mg/l), pH (6.10-7.5), Electrical...

The evaluations of insects’ protein as viable alternative source in fish diets are gaining more attention revealing that the has comparative advantage than other sources. Therefore, this study was conducted to isolate and identify (using phylotypic genotypic methods) bacteria isolates gastrointestinal tract (GIT) African hybrid catfish fed supplemented grasshopper meal. Four feeding were adopted study; Diet A (conventional feed), B (100% Grasshopper meal), C (50% fishmeal 50% meal) D Fish...

The need to further ascertain the quality of fishmeal with biological indicators has poised this study determine characterisation formulated diets supplemented insect protein (variegated grasshopper and American cockroach). (A–F) were prepared local ingredients (A, 100% meal; B, fishmeal; C, 1:1 grasshopper:fishmeal; D, cockroach:fishmeal; E, cockroach F, commercial diet). Samples ready be stored for use subjected bacteria fungi test. Diet F recorded highest (4.60±1.10×102 cfu g–1) total...
