RESEARCH ACTIVITIES: I have been actively involved in biomonitoring investigations of fresh, brackish, and marine water bodies. I conduct environmental surveys of seabed and open waters using indicator species. Notable projects on research explorations of the Gulf of Guinea were successfully accomplished with demonstration of expertise. Spatial and temporal distribution of sentinel species such as plankton, benthic and nekton communities were employed as indicators of environmental conditions. Results were presented as Environmental Impact Assessment reports of the oil exploration activities on the Nigerian environment towards informed decision making and policy development.

  • Catalogue of Some Saltwater and Freshwater Fish Species of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria
    Catalogue of Some Saltwater and Freshwater Fish Species of the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria Ekinadose Orose, Edafe Odioko and Okechukwu Kenneth Wokeh * Department of Animal and Environmental Biology, Hydrobiology and Fisheries Unit, University of Port Harcourt, PMB 5323, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2021, 09(03), 056–084 Publication history: Received on 29 January 2021; revised on 27 February 2021; accepted on 01 March 2021 Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.30574/wjarr.2021.9.3.0075 Abstract The study was done to review some saltwater and freshwater fish species in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The Niger Delta is one of the most prominent regions in Nigeria, endowed with several water bodies that are distributed as freshwater like rivers, lakes, streams and creeks. These freshwater ecosystems in the region, are abundantly endowed with fish species such as Clarias gariepinus, Pila ovate, Labeo coubie, Synodontis budgetti and Synodontis eupterus. Apart from the freshwaters, the region also has vast marine ecosystem with abundance of fish species such as Elops lacerta, Mugil cephalus, Thais coronata, Periophthalmus papilio, Tympanotonus fuscatus, and Sardinella maderensis. Unfortunately, many of these fish species are endangered due to constant pollution in the Niger delta regional coastal environment. As a result, it is important to document some available freshwater and marine water fish species which will serve as a reference material for both academics and research institutions, should any of the fish species go into extinction. Keywords: Extinction, Coastal Waters, Marine Diversity, Niger Delta 1. Introduction Nigeria’s coastal waters fall within the Guinea Current Large Ecosystem (GCLME), a shared resource by all the coastal West African countries.

(Monogenea, Dactylogyridae) from the siluriform catfish Loricaria prolixa Isbrücker & Nijssen, 1978 (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, supported by morphological and molecular data. In add- ition, notes on the circumscription of the genus with a redescription of Demisdospermus anus are presented. Demidospermus spirophallus n. sp. differed from other congeners mainly because of the morphology of the male copulatory organ (MCO), which exhibited 2½ counterclockwise rings, a tubular accessory piece with one bifurcated end and a weakly sclerotized vagina with sinistral open- ing. Demidospermus prolixus n. sp. presents a counterclockwise-coiled MCO with 1½ rings, an ovate base, a non-articulated groove-like accessory piece serving as an MCO guide, two different hook shapes, inconspicuous tegumental annulations, a non-sclerotized vagina with sinistral opening and the absence of eyes or acces- sory eyespots. The present study provides, for the first time, molecular character- ization data using the partial ribosomal gene (28S) of two new species of Demidospermus from Brazil (D.

Argungu and H.S Akanbi Department of Forestry and Fisheries, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto Nigeria ABSTRACT: The food and feeding habits of Synodontis nigrita (Cuvier and Valenciennes) from River Rima were studied. One hundred and three samples were collected from September to October 2006. The stomachs were analyzed using frequency of occurrence method. The mean total length of the samples was 13.04±2.55SD, mean total weight 30.42±21.84SD and mean gut length 39.57±8.92SD. The fish is an omnivore, feeding mainly on phytoplankton, zooplankton, detritus, plant tissues, insects, crustaceans and insect parts. The presence of detritus in almost all the stomachs indicated bottom feeding. The fish gut length was 3 times the body length. Key words : Synodontis nigrita ; Stomach contents; Gut length INTRODUCTION: The fish Family Synodontis eupterus.

In-situ physicochemical analysis of the surface water was conducted using a calibrated handheld multi-parameter probe (Horiba Checker Model U-10). Intestinal samples from infected and uninfected fish were analyzed for pyrethroid concentrations, microbial colonization, proteins (PRO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). The histopathology of infected and uninfected intestinal tissues were analyzed using Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stains and examined under a binocular light microscope (Model 230485). A total of 39 out of 98 S. clarias fish were infected with cestode parasite, Wenyonia acuminate, amounting to 39% parasite prevalence. Among the tested pyrethroids, Cyfluthrin and Alpha –cypermethrin had significant sorption of 1.62 and 3.27 respectively from the aqueous phase to the bottom sediment of the lagoon.
