“…The implication is that knowledge about pollution was known to the residents, but no significant improvement has been achieved over the years. The results stand with the position of Koledoye, et al [38], who found in their study on the Lekki lagoon that anthropogenic activities have latent health and environmental impacts that have prognosticated grave concern if not urgently mitigated. In another study [39] on the Muni Pomadze and its catchment, it was revealed that most of the Physico-chemical properties studied, temperature, TDS, conductivity, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen (DO) were within the acceptable limit of USEPA for freshwater resources.…”

The Chemu lagoon is not immune to pollution through chemical waste contamination, refuse disposals, and untreated household sewage, and hence has been chosen as a case study. This paper aims to assess the lagoon's level of pollution. Chemical analysis of water samples, field observations, and a structured survey questionnaire was used to assess the state of the lagoon. The study revealed that the Chemu lagoon has inferior water quality as most of the parameters evaluated were above the acceptable standards of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Significant differences in concentrations of water quality parameters were established between seasons. The study found that respondents were aware of the lagoon’s polluted state and attributed pollution to siltation and waste dumping. This leads to offensive odour, livelihood losses emphasising a reduction in fishing activities, and outbreaks of diseases in the area. Conclusively, stakeholders have not prioritised mitigating pollution of the lagoon. The study recommends that the Environmental Health and Waste Management Departments of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly intensify house-to-house hygiene education and sanitary inspection in the area. There should be education and sensitisation on proper waste management practices in the area.

“…The water quality of a waterbody in an aquatic biota regulates the primary productivity, composition of organisms, diversity, and abundance and serves as a bio-indicator of aquatic environment well-being (Koledoye et al 2022). In this current study, some parasites strongly correlated with some limnological parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH and conductivity showed a strong correlation with C. tilapiae.…”

This study investigated fish parasites in relation to limnological variables of the Esa-Odo reservoir since the quality of the aquatic environment might influence parasitic infestation in fish. The purpose of this study was to provide information on the parasite species of the reservoir due to their public health concern and their relationship with selected water quality parameters. The water quality and parasite examinations were analyzed based on standard protocols in the laboratory. The results showed that water quality parameters were not significantly different (p > 0.05) across the zones. Seasonally, mean water temperature, pH, TDS, DO, organic matter, COD and turbidity were significantly different (p < 0.05) across the different zones of the reservoir while electrical conductivity, alkalinity, NO3-, and PO43- were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Clinostomum tilapiae, Clinostomum sp., Euclinostomum heterostomum, Procamallanus leavionchus, and Lytocestus sp. were recovered in all the fish sampled. The overall prevalence of the fish parasites was 9.8% with an intensity of 2.13. The result indicated fish parasites had a strong positive correlation with certain water quality properties and parasite abundance which suggested that water quality could determine parasitic loads in fishes of the Esa-Odo reservoir.
