No results found.The objective of the project was to assist the Government in the establishment of an experimental fish farm on the Island of Buguma, Degema District, Rivers State, Nigeria, and to carry out experimental studies on the culture of locally occurring brackish-water fishes and shellfishes. The expert working on the project supervised the construction of the farm and started studies for the selection of species for culture in brackish-water ponds. Two species of local mullet and pink prawn were used s eparately and in combination. From a preliminary study, the brackish-water catfish (Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) and sardine (Sardinella aurita) appeared to be suitable for culture. Studies on the common mangrove oyster in Lagos showed that it grew to an average size of 70 mm in about seven months. The common carp and fresh-water catfish, Clarias sp., were acclimatized to brackish-water conditions. The project was terminated due to the internal situation in the country. It is hoped to revive the work when conditions return to normal.
