“…Potentially new species fell into four genera- Clarias Scopoli, 1777 , Enteromius Cope, 1867 , Labeo Cuvier, 1816 and Labeobarbus Rüppell, 1835 . Further, two species were observed to have different phenotypes (morphs)- Coptodon zillii ( Gervais, 1848 ) and Enteromius perince ( Rüppell, 1835 ). Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 was the only non-native species found on the Jos Plateau.…”

Located in the central region of northern Nigeria, the Jos Plateau covers approximately 9,400 km² with an average altitude of 1,280 m and constitutes a unique terrestrial ecoregion known as the Jos Plateau forest-grassland mosaic. The biota of the Jos Plateau include endemic elements, but very limited information is available on its ichthyofauna. This is despite the fact that the ancient plateau contributes to several large rivers spanning multiple major drainage systems including the Niger and Benue Rivers, and Lake Chad. This study provides the first species list for the fishes of the Jos Plateau based mainly on 175 DNA barcoded museum voucher specimens representing 20 species, and another three species without a DNA barcode. In total, 23 species from eight families and 17 genera were collected from the Jos Plateau including five putatively new species, four in the family Cyprinidae and one in the Clariidae. With ten species, the Cyprinidae is the most diverse fish family on the Jos Plateau, followed by Clariidae and Cichlidae, each with three species. The study also provides data on species distribution and habitat parameters including information on water chemistry that strongly suggests that selected water bodies are heavily impacted by anthropogenic activities. Urgent management steps are required to preserve the unique and diverse fish communities of the Jos Plateau and their habitats.

Medicine in the second half of the nineteenth century takes on some characteristics of modernity. These characteristics are worthy of our attention because they help us to understand better some of the current problems of hygiene and public health. One of the topics that was most discussed in the scientific-academic milieu of the second half of the nineteenth century was cremation. There was a poetic precedent: the cremation of Percy Bysse Shelley (1792-1822). The earliest apparatus to completely destroy the corpse was made in Italy and Germany in the 1870s. As far as hygiene was concerned, the reasons for cremation were not to pollute the water-bearing strata and an attempt to streamline the cemetery structure. As in an apparent schizophrenia, scientists of the day worked to both destroy and preserve corpses. There is also the unusual paradox that when the first cremations took place, the corpses were first preserved then to be destroyed later. The catholic world (mainly in Italy) and forensic scientists opposed cremation. It was left to the hygienists to spread the practice of cremation. An analysis of scientific literature shows us that if we leave out the related forensic and ethical problems, recent years have seen attention paid to any harmful emissions from crematoria equipment which have poured into the environment. Another issue is the assessment of inadvertent damage which may be caused by the condition of the corpse. Some topics, however, such as the need for preventive autopsies (first proposed in 1884 in Milan) are still a subject of debate, and seem to pass virtually unchanged from one generation to the next.

“…It is known that family Cichlidae have a high economic significance in tropical inland waters in Africa, and they play important role in the ecology of freshwater bodies (Ikomi & Jessa 2003). Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848) along with the other tilapias have been the object of considerable research because of its suitability for aquaculture. It can tolerate a wide range of temperature and salinity and can utilize aquatic vegetation.…”

__________________________________________________________________________________al, 2017), efforts are still needed in some geographical areas to construct a database about the fishery status, biology, ecology and dynamics of fish species because most of these data are generally unknown. Tilapia is the common name of more than 70 fish species belonging to family Cichlidae which undergo under three genera (Sarotherodon, Oreochromis and Tilapia)
