“…The growth performance estimated for the fish species in the lake will allow for comparison of growth performance index among fish species in other parts of Nigeria when the estimates are available. Enin et al, (1995) suggested that the growth performance index can be used to calculate L∞ and K of related species when either of the parameter is available. The growth parameters obtained for the lake are similar and this shows similar growth pattern for the fish species in the lake.…”

The growth parameters and age for the fish species from the lake (O. niloticus, S. galilaeus and B. bayad) were computed through interpretation of marks found on their Opercula bones which were then fitted into Vonbertallanfy growth model. Their asymptotic length (L∞) ranged from 175mm-520nm. The growth performance index Ф' ranged from 3.6622-4.9420 and K value from 0.10-0.35. O. niloticus L∞, K and Ф' values ranged from 175mm-192.5mm, 0.15-0.25, 3.6622-3.9668 and were found to live up to 7 + years in the lake. The values of S. galilaeus ranged from 200mm-240mm, 0.12-0.17 and 3.8211-3.8222 and living up to 5 + while B. bayad had a range of 500mm-520mm, 0.10-0.35, 4.4320-4.9420 and lives up to 6+ in the lake. All the growth parameters for the fish species were fitted into the Vonbertallanfy growth model. L t =L∞ (i-ek (t-t o)

“…Oh et al, 1999;López-Martínez et al, 2005;Etim and Sankare, 1998;Cha et al, 2002;Enin et al, 1996). Thus, growth models which do not incorporate seasonal oscillation fail to conceive an essential picture of the growth process (Pauly, 1990(Pauly, , 1992, particularly in species distributed in temperate or subtropical areas .…”

“…Shrimps are the most important shell-fish/ crustacean resources, including the White shrimp (Nematopalaecom hastaus), brackishwater prawn (Macrobrachium vollenhonenii) and the pink shrimp (Panaeus notialis) (Dublin-Green and Tobor, 1992;Ajayi and Talabi, 1984). The white shrimp, an estuarine species, represents about 81% of total shrimp landings (Enin et al, 1996). This makes it the major source of crayfish in Nigeria, but it is not included in shrimper's catches.…”

The changes that have taken place in Nigerian fisheries are reviewed. Artisanal fishery has continued to dominate the fisheries, contributing over 85% of total fish production. The inland water and coastal seas are fully exploited and the increase in fishery production is not likely. Aquaculture potentials remain untapped as much as deep-sea fisheries. The combined potential of the fisheries resources-freshwater, marine and aquaculture can meet over 90% of the nation's demand for fish. Opportunities for investments, therefore, exist in the various subsectors, especially in the areas of storage, processing and preservation for the capture fishery and fish seed multiplication for aquaculture.
