Also in the White Nile (Barro and Alvero Rivers) [Ethiopia], and Omo River [Ethiopia]; possibly also in Chad and Senegal basins but has not been collected here [Norris 2002].” “[In Nigeria:] Occurs in the middle [Norris 2002, 2003] and lower Niger [Olaosebikan and Raji 1998; Norris 2002] and the Niger delta [Norris 2003], including the rivers Sokoto, Rima, Nun, Benue and Taraba [Norris 2002], and in lakes Kainji [Olaosebikan and Raji 1998; Norris 2002] and Okoso [Norris 2002]. Type locality: Lake Kainji [Eschmeyer 1998].” According to Olaosebikan and Lalèyè (2010), Malapterpurus mijiriya is also located in Ouémé River in Benin. 1 Status in the United States No records of Malapterurus minjiriya in trade or in the wild in the United States were found. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has listed the electric catfish M. minjiriya as a prohibited species. Prohibited nonnative species (FFWCC 2018), “are considered to be dangerous to the ecology and/or the health and welfare of the people of Florida.

FAGBENRO*, Chris O. ADED & Michael L. AIYEGI:. *Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, **Department of Biology, Federal UniversiV of Technology, P.M.B. 704, Akure, NIGERIA. ABST CT Analyses of stomach contents of 330 Malapterurus electricus (Standard length, 10.1-30.5cm) in Mahin Lagoon (Southwestern Nigeria) establisheditas a bottom feeder.There was a preponderance of insects accounting for >80% occurrence and > 25% of total volume in stomachs of specimens, suggesting a stenophagous predatory habit.Qualitative and quantitative assays of digestive enzymes in the different regions of the gut (oesophagus, stomach, doudenum, ileum, rectum) were investigated. CarbohydraseS (amylase, maltase), chitinase, proteases (pepsin, chymotrypsin, trypsin) and lipases were detected in different gut regions with different activity. The pattern of distribution and relative activity of the enzymes correlated with his predatory diet. Key Words: Carbohydrase, proteases,lipases,g,utregions,electriccatfish, Malcrpterurus electricus. ODUCTION The African electric catfishes, Malapterurus lacepede (Family Malapteruridae) are endemic to tropical Africa (Leveque et al., 1991), and of the three species presently recognized (M ekctricus M rninjiriya, M microstoma) (Teugels, 1996), M electricus (Gmelin 1789) is common in commercial catches in west Africa (Holden & Reed, 1972).It is more or less available throughout the year and the dietary habits have been previously studied by Sagua (1979, 1987), based on samples taken in freshwater floodplains and Lake Kainji (Nigeria).

  • National Investment Profile
    NATIONAL INVESTMENT PROFILE WATER FOR AGRICULTURE AND ENERGY UGANDA National Investment Profile. Water for Agriculture and Energy: Uganda EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Agriculture remains the mainstay of livelihoods for the majority of Ugandans. Nonetheless, despite the importance of the sector, agriculture has experienced very limited growth in the past 10 years. This contrasts poorly with the level of development experienced in both the services and industrial sectors. The contribution of agriculture to the national GDP decreased from 51 percent to 22 percent between 1992-93 and 2013-14. Agriculture’s lackluster performance is partly explained by the largely subsistence and low productive nature of the sector. Most of the agricultural production in Uganda is undertaken by small holder farmers in rural areas. These farmers are characterized by the use of rudimentary tools, limited application of inputs and reliance on rain fed agriculture with minimal irrigation. According to the national irrigation master plan (Ministry of Water and Environment, 2011), the estimated area equipped for irrigation in 2010 was 14 418 ha (less than one percent of cultivated land). In addition to this, there is an estimated 53 000 ha of rice which is grown informally on managed wetlands. These figures are well below the country’s irrigation potential that was estimated at around 567 000 ha in 2010. Public irrigation schemes cover only around 3 000 ha. Most of these schemes were set in up in the 1960s and 1970s and overtime, a number of them have run into a state of disrepair. In the recent past, the government has rehabilitated some of those schemes and has set up new small demonstration schemes or valley tanks — especially in the semi-arid sub region of Karamoja.
