“…There was no significant difference (p < 0.05) in temperature values of all the sampling stations, because they are typical values of the tropics with high temperature ranges. Similar temperatures were recorded by Moslen (2008) in Azuabie creek and Okeke et al (2016) [15] in Ogbujilekwe/Idozu river in Anambra State. The mean hydrogen ion concentration values at SSI, SSII and SSIII, were 6.71, 6.50 and 6.55 respectively and are within the acceptable range for human and livestock by the World Health Organization.…”

“…The relevance of fish in the nutritional diet status of the world population, can never be over emphasis in the face of declining meat production and wild fish capture, consequence of climate change (global warming), vagaries of nature (flooding, erosion, landslide, siltation, earth quake and tsunami), diseases, pollution (sewage, industrial effluents, chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides), heavy metals, obnoxious fishing methods (poison and dynamites) and over fishing (use of under size mesh nets) (Yusef, et al, 2002 andOkeke et al, 2014) [26,14] . This had prompted countries all over the world, to commence exploring avenues on how natural water bodies can be conserve to once again be relevant to fish production and fisheries conservation and sustainability of natural habitat.…”

The physico-chemical parameters of Amansea River and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two most prevalence fish species Oreochromis nilotics and Clarias gariepinus of the river, were studied from February to September. The fish specimens were procured monthly from artisanal fisher folks from three sampling stations I, II and III. The samples were taking to the laboratory, and were analysed for heavy metals using 240 Version Atomic Absorption Spectrophometer (AAS) method. There were presence of Arsenic (As), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) presence in the two fish species tested. The heavy metal ranking in descending order in O. niloticus are As>Pb>Hg>Cr>Cd, with mean concentration mg/kg-1 values of 5.093±0.153, 1.039±0.059, 0.134±0.012, 0.084±0.003 and 0.053±0.007 respectively, while C. gariepinus heavy metal ranking in descending order are Cd<As<Hg<Pb<Cr, with heavy metal mean plus standard deviation (SD) concentration mg/kg-1 values of 2.805±0.008, 2.784±0.058, 0.652±0.003, 0.555±0.008 and 0.365±0.026 respectively. The heavy metal concentration in the tissues of both fish species were higher than permissible limit for fish by the WHO/FAO of 0.2/0.5, 0.30/0.30, 0.05/, 0.05/0.05 and 0.020/0.02 mg/kg-1, rendering fishes from the river dangerous for human consumption. The physico-chemical parameters (To, pH, Salinity, DO, and Conductivity) of 280C, 6.60, 0.25ppt., 6.29mg/L-1 and 84.08us/cm-1 respectively were within the Federal Ministry of Environment standard for fish survival and growth. The high level of heavy metal concentration, calls for serious intervention, monitoring, control and management of activities going on along the river to prevent sicknesses associated with heavy metals bioaccumulation.

In order to contribute to the improvement of Clarias jaensis feeding in an intensive system, the effect of Zea mays substitution level by Musa paradisiaca ripe and unripe peel flour on the survival and some growth characteristics of Clarias jaensis juveniles was studied at the "Common Initiatives Group of Agricultures and farmers of Biological products of Cameroon" (3°55-4°67LN and 9°46-11°52LE), Centre-Cameroon Region. To this end, 315 Clarias jaensis juveniles (65.5 ±10.61g) were randomly distributed in 21 plastic tanks containing 60 liters of water each at a density of 250 individuals/m3 and divided into seven comparable batches with three repetitions, corresponding to 0; 5; 10; 15% substitution of corn meal by that of ripe and unripe peels of banana Musa paradisiaca. Fishes were fed 02 times a day (8 a.m. and 6 p.m.) at 5% ichtyo biomass for 84 days. The results obtained were as follows: survival rate was comparable between treatments (100, 00 ± 0.00%), mean final weight was higher in individuals fed on 15% ripe peels of banana Musa paradisiaca (77.87 ± 4.69g), mean daily gain and specific growth rate were higher with the 15% ripe Musa paradisiaca peel diet (0.18± 0.13 g/d and 0.27 ± 0.03 % g/d), the consumption index and feed cost to produce one kg of Clarias jaensis were lower at 15% (1.25±0.03 and 637.5 Fcfa) and higher at 0% (1.6 ± 0.04 and 832 Fcfa).

“…Adopting fish for kilishi production, would result to quality improvement (value addition) and make it available at cheaper price and within the reach of consumers (Olusola et al, 2012). This study is aimed at providing an alternative to beef kilishi snack to consumers and in addition, open another fish processing value chain enterprise to fish processors as a result of increase in fish production in Nigeria, from 0.45 million metric tonnes to 2.40 million metric tonnes per annum (Okeke et al, 2016).…”

The organoleptic evaluation of kilishi produced from beef and fish was carried out to test the acceptability of fish kilishi as a possible replacement beef with fish in kilishi production, due to high cost of beef meat in relation fish. There was significant difference (p<0.05) in the prices of beef and fish meat of 50%. The same weight of beef and fish samples was processed separately with the same quantity and quality of ingredients, to obtain a beef and fish kilishi product of 10% moisture content. The sensory evaluation of the produced Kilishi was carried out using 9-point hedonic scale with thirty trained panellists. The data generated were subjected to ANOVA test at 0.05 significant level, using SPSS version 20. The mean result score by the panellists for fish kilishi based on colour, taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability were 6.83±1.21, 6.40±1.48, 6.57±1.38, 6.93±1.26 and 7.37±0.99, respectively. While that of beef Kilishi were 7.50±0.90, 7.33±1.09, 7.23±1.10, 7.10±1.16 and 7.77±0.94, respectively. The beef kilishi had a general acceptability score of 7.77±0.94 which reads ‘like moderately’ while that of fish kilishi has a general acceptability score of 7.37±0.99 which reads ‘liked moderately’. This study shows that fish kilishi can serve as suitable alternative to beef kilishi as a cheap snack that can provide cheap source of animal protein there by improve the quality of people’s health.
