Globally, the issue of the environment is no doubt a very serious one, and Nigeria is no exception. The reports of recent flooding in Lagos, Abeokuta and Ibadan due largely to reclamation of coastal areas, solid waste dump into water channels, lack of canals, and faulty urban planning, to mention a few, are still fresh in our memories. Also noteworthy are problems of industrial and domestic pollution of surface and groundwater, land degradation, loss of biodiversity, air and noise pollution, which are all very prominent in our environment. Here in UNAAB, we realised quite early the need to study and assess the environment in all its ramifications. That is why UNAAB is the first University in Nigeria, right from inception, to have a College of Environmental Resources Management, where we consider issues relating to the environment, through the establishment of the Departments of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management, Forestry and Wildlife Management, Environmental Management and Toxicology and Water Resources Management and Agricultural Meteorology. It is therefore in order that the University is the host to the first edition of the Environmental Management Conference. I have been informed that this conference is being co-sponsored by the Africa Geosciences Review, an International Journal of repute. Prof. Cornelius Kogbe, its founding Editor-in-Chief, is heartily welcome to UNAAB. As scientists gather in this university in the next two to three days to present scholarly papers and reflect on the theme: ‘Environmental Management in Coastal and Wetland Areas of Nigeria’, I enjoin you to be proactive in your considerations as you formulate implementable environmental management policies. I wish you a very fruitful deliberation. Finally, I want to seize this opportunity to urge you to take time out to look round our beautiful campus and visit Abeokuta city, taking cognisance of its historical sites like the popular Olumo rock and the traditional ‘Adire' textile market at Itoku. Thank you very much. vi Proceedings of the Environmental Management Conference, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, 2011 Table of Content Page Title Page i Editorial Board ii Chairpersons of Technical Sessions iii Citation iv Group Photograph of Conference Participants v Opening Address by the Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Oluwafemi Olaiya Balogun vi VOLUME 1 CLIMATE CHANGE, HUMAN RESPONSES AND ADAPTATION 1 Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Resources: An Example from Cross River State, Southeastern Nigeria 2 Edet A., Ukpong A.

Le régime alimentaire de 171 spécimens de Brycinus longipinnis a été étudié en fonction de la taille, des stations et des saisons hydrologiques. L’échantillonnage a porté sur 24 prélèvements mensuels. Le plan d’eau concerné est la rivière Bia sur laquelle a été construit en 1959 un barrage hydroélectrique. L’indice d’importance relative combinant les pourcentages d’occur- rence, numérique et pondéral a été utilisé. Il apparaît que l’espèce indiquée est omnivore. Elle consomme des macrophytes ainsi que des invertébrés terrestres et aquatiques avec comme aliments principaux les Chironomidae et les Formicidae. En amont du bar- rage de retenue, le régime alimentaire de B. longipinnis varie en fonction de la taille des individus. Il est également fonction des saisons hydrologiques dans toutes les stations (amont, aval, lac).

Nwafili Sylvanus Anene1,2 and Gao Tianxiang1* 1Key Laboratory of Mariculture, Ministry of Education, Ocean University of China, Qingdao. 266003 P. R. China. 2Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, P. M. B. 5023, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. Accepted 5 March, 2007 In a study of genetic characteristics of exotic Clarias gariepinus we obtained the animals from five hatcheries in Nigeria and sequenced 399 base pair of the cyt b gene. The results show that the exotic C. gariepinus clustered in two lineages: Clarias anguillaris (West Africa) and C. gariepinus (East Africa). First, this strain could be a hybrid between the two species since the original populations used for selection were from different sources including West Africa where both occur sympatrically. Alternatively, it has been contaminated via unwholesome practices. Keywords: Clarias gariepinus, Holland Clarias, contaminated hatchery stock and hybrid. INTRODUCTION The Clariid catfishes, order Siluriformes, are distributed in aboration with the World Bank sponsored National Africa, Asia Minor and South-east Asia and the Indian Agricultural Development project imported this Dutch subcontinent (Teugels and Adriaens, 2003). Two genera domesticated strain (Dada and Wonah, 2003) over a of this family, Clarias and Heterobranchus, with the decade ago. Since the introduction, no study has been Cichlids are the most used in African aquaculture carried out to determine its genetic characteristics.

Evolution of various morphological complexes in teleosts, particularly those involving soft anatomy, remains poorly understood. Notable among these problematic complexes is the adductor mandibulae, the muscle that provides the primary force for jaw adduction and mouth closure and whose architecture varies from a simple arrangement of two segments to an intricate complex of up to ten discrete subdivisions. The present study analyzed multiple morphological attributes of the adductor mandibulae in representatives of 53 of the 55 extant teleostean orders, as well as significant information from the literature in order to elucidate the homologies of the main subdivisions of this muscle. The traditional alphanumeric terminology applied to the four main divisions of the adductor mandibulae –A1,A2,A3, and Av – patently fails to reflect homologous components of that muscle across the expanse of the Teleostei.

Wright A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) in the University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor William L. Fink, Co-Chair Associate Professor Thomas F. Duda, Jr., Co-Chair Professor Mark D. Hunter Emeritus Professor Gerald R. Smith ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The completion of this work would not have been possible without the contributions of a number of people who were gracious enough to offer their assistance and support over the course of my time as a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan. First and foremost is my wife, Jacqueline, who has unprotestingly been conscripted as a field assistant, sounding board and source for research ideas and methodological improvement, reviewer and editor of manuscripts, and constant source of encouragement. It is no exaggeration to say that this research would not be what it is without her input and assistance. My dissertation committee has provided invaluable encouragement, advice, and logistical support throughout the process of formulating and executing the research contained herein. Bill Fink (initially my committee’s sole chair) deserves credit for first encouraging me to pursue the area of venomous fish research, which has proved enormously fruitful in terms of projects, publications and professional interactions and recognition. His enthusiasm for the research program that I’ve developed, as well as his trust in my ability to complete these and other research projects during my time at the University of Michigan, have always been greatly appreciated.

Winemiller Committee Members, Kevin Conway Jason West Head of Department, John Carey August 2012 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences iii ABSTRACT Fish Assemblage and Food Web Structure in Whedos (Shallow Floodplain Habitats) of the Oueme River, West Africa. August, 2012 Andrew Thomas Jackson, B.S.; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirk O. Winemiller In the Oueme River, a lowland river in Benin, Africa, artificial ponds constructed in the floodplain (whedos) are colonized during the high-water period by a presumably random sample of fishes from the river channel. As water slowly recedes from the floodplain, fishes are isolated in whedos until they are harvested near the end of the dry season. I surveyed fishes in whedos and adjacent main-channel and floodplain habitats during two low-water (2008 and 2009) and one falling-water (2010-2011) periods, and measured a suite of physicochemical variables including dissolved oxygen, temperature, specific conductivity, and percent cover of aquatic vegetation in the falling-water period to investigate if fish assemblage structure of whedos resulted from stochastic or deterministic processes.
