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.

Also available in:
No results found.This is the second of a three volumes field guide that covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resources groups exploited in the Western Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO Fishing Area 31. The marine resources groups included in this volume are Bony fishes part 1 (Acipenseridae to Grammatidae). The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota and the basic components of the fisheries in the Western Central Atlantic.See also other volumes related to this series: -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideThe Living Marine Resources of the Eastern Central Atlantic. Volume 2: Bivalves, gastropods, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, and chimaeras 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This multivolume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Eastern Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO fishing area 34 and part of 47. The marine resource groups included are bivalves, gastropods, chitons, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, bony fishes and sea turtles. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological, and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Eastern Central Atlantic. Within the field guide, the sections on the re source groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, order, and family. Each resource group is introduced by general re marks on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements, and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an account summarizing family diagnostic characters, bi o logical and fisheries in formation, notes on similar families occur ring in the area, a key to species, a check list of species, and a short list of relevant literature. Families that are less important to fisheries include an abbreviated family ac count and no de tailed species in formation. Species in the important families are treated in detail (arranged alphabetically by genus and species) and include the species name, frequent synonyms and names of similar speci es, an illustration, FAO common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries in formation, notes on geo graphical distribution, and a distribution map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, FAO common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map, and notes on biology, fisheries, and distribution. Each volume concludes with its own index of scientific and common names. -
