  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview The lubricant sub-sector of the downstream industry is one with so many potential that is capable of being a major source of revenue earner for the country, and has grown over the years with increase in the number of second hand passenger and commercial vehicles in the country calling for more frequent lubricant changes. Though Nigeria has an installed lubricant capacity of 600, 000 metric tonnes the current demand is 700 million litres which is about 1% of global demand. The lubricants market is driven by various steps being taken by government such as initiatives to increase the ease of doing business to boost manufacturing sector activities and the Nigeria Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) to emphasize investment in infrastructure. With the increase of import duty on finished lubricants to 30% and the recent 7.5 percent VAT on finished lubes in the country, the sectors have been opened up for further investment and the proposed project considered in this study is set to explore the given opportunity. Though there are presently 34 lube blending plants in Nigeria, only two of these (5.9%) are located in the south- south region of the country (DPR, 2020). This proposed lubricating oil blending plant project by Eraskon Nigeria Ltd is thus a private effort to support the government of Nigeria on how local production of lubricant can be increased to boost its domestic availability especially in the south-south region of the country. 1.2 Project Proponent Eraskon Nigeria Limited is a lubricant oil manufacturing company incorporated in Nigeria by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with RC No.

  • Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History)
    A new catfish from Sierra Leone Gordon Jon Howes Zoology Department, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD A collection of freshwater fishes from Sierra Leone made by Dr A. I. Payne contained three specimens of a previously undescribed dwarf catfish. At first sight these small fishes (33-5- 36 mm SL) were thought to be the juveniles of a Synodontis species, but closer examination showed many significant differences. Furthermore, dissection of two specimens revealed that they were adult females, having ripe ovaries. In overall morphology the new catfish appears closer to members of the Mochokidae sensu lato than to those of any other siluroid family, (see p. 168). The possibility that these fishes belonged to the dwarf mochokid genus Microsynodontis was dispelled when comparisons were made with species of that genus. MOCHOKIELLA gen. nov. Fishes of a small size with a shallow body (depth 25-5-27-9 of SL). Head broad (almost equal to its length) with dorsal profile sloped, snout rounded, ethmoid with narrow rostral process. Nostrils widely separated, the posterior situated midway between the anterior nostril and the orbital rim. Anterior nostril tubular. Mouth small, lower lip developed only at the corners of the mouth. Premaxillary teeth short and conical, in a broad patch. Dentary teeth like those on the premaxilla, set in a broad semi-crescentic band. Vomerine teeth absent. One pair of maxillary and two pairs of mandibular barbels. The maxillary barbel long, reaching to the tip of the cleithral process. Outer mandibular barbel extending to halfway along the cleithral process, the inner reaching to the base of the pectoral spine.

  • Preliminary Studies on the Food and Feeding Habits of Synodontis Membraneceus from Ogobiri River, Nigeria
    r 233 Preliminary studies on the food and feeding habits of Synodontis membraneceus from Ogobiri River, Nigeria Allison, M. E. / Youdubagha, S. E. Abstract Thefood andfeeding habits of Synodontis membraneceus of Ogobiri River of Bayelsa State, Nigeria was studied using 44 male and 51 female specimens that were boughtfrom fishers in the study area measuring between 5 and 25 em total length. The Numerical and the Frequency of Occurrence method of analysis were used. For the males, thefood items by the numerical method were copepods (168), insects, (118), Cladocera (69), and unidentified items (32). In thefemale specimens, thefood items were Cladocera (286), Insect (216) Copepod (100) and unidentified organisms/materials (65). In the Frequency of Occurrence method for the males, Copepod was still the highest with a total of (48), Cladocera (44), Insects (29) and unidentified (I 6). For thefemales, Cladoera (48), Insects were (30) followed by Copepods (35) and unidentified (J9). The Percentage composition offood items by the Numerical method was Cladocera (45.5%), Insects (34.5%), Copepod (12.5%), and unidentified items (7.0%) while the Percentage Frequency of Occurrence was, Cla• docera (30.5%), Insects (30.9%), Copepod (29.6%), and unidentified items (9.0%). Keywords:Numerical method,frequency of occurrence, S. membraneceus, Ogobiri River. Introduction ish is a very important source of food for humans (FAO, 2010). Information about the food habits of fishes is on defin• ing predator-prey relationship (Saa et al., 1997) and the creation of trophic models as a tool to understanding complete Fecosystem (Lopez-Perata and Arcila, 2002; Bachok et al., 2004).

Temperature tolerance and trophic dynamics were studied for three species (L. angustifrons, L. microlepis and L. mariae). Subsequently, several individuals of these three species were shipped to Heart of the Hills Research Station (HOHRS) in Ingram, Texas in 1975 (Rutledge and Lyons 1976 [cited by Schofield (2011) but not accessed for this report]). Also in 1975, Nile perch (L. niloticus) were transferred from Lake Turkana, Kenya, to HOHRS. All fishes were held in indoor, closed-circulating systems (Rutledge and Lyons 1976).” “From 1978 to 1985, Lates spp. was released into various Texas reservoirs (Howells and Garrett 1992 [cited by Schofield (2011) but not accessed for this report]). Almost 70,000 Lates spp. larvae were stocked into Victor Braunig (Bexar Co.), Coleto Creek (Goliad Co.) and Fairfield (Freestone Co.) reservoirs between 1978 and 1984.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.
