“…Government investment in advanced technology and infrastructure with the integrated efforts in water management and agricultural research policy on the use of water in agriculture sectors [3], will also help to reduce the impact of climate change on aquatic fauna in the region. The government can reduce the amount of CO 2 from industries into water bodies by investing in advanced technology and infrastructure.…”

“…The hope for sustainable fish production in Nigeria is dashed as a result of poor water quality and scarcity in nearest future. There is therefore the need to sensitize fishermen on the imminent hazards of persistence water scarcity and poor quality as evidence of climate changes that could affect fish production [3]. On the one hand, water which is vital to the survival of ecosystems, plants and animals that lives in them are being threatened; and as such reduces the species of fish caught, and the quantity and quality of water that is available for the inhabitants [4].…”

The study discusses the impact of climate change on aquatic lives in the Niger Delta region. To realise this, the study basically adopted a library search design of reviewing literatures of climate change impact on aquatic lives in the Niger Delta region. Meteorological data (rainfall, temperature and humidity) were also extracted from literatures to explain the evidence of climate change in the areas. The meteorological data showed that, temperature, rainfall and humidity have changed over the last 10 years. This change translates to climate change because it is at least up to a decade (10-year period), and it showed a 1.5˚C rise in temperature from 2003 to 2013 and an increase of 342.2 mm in the amount of rainfall in Niger Delta. These clearly paint the picture of global warming. Furthermore, in the same period, there was a decrease of 9% in the amount of humidity in the area. Thus, it is very clear that the climate is changing over time within this region. This certainly has some effects on the aquatic Fauna in the region. In fact, for the next 10 years, the aquatic fauna that now inhabit various habitats may no longer be able to adapt to the changes, leading to their extinction and total elimination from the habitats in question. And as such, these aquatic fauna will either modify their body structure and function in order to tolerate the change in climate, migrate to new and comfortable habitat or even stand the risk of becoming extinct. To abate the impact of climate change in the region, introduction of new water management reform and policy implementation, and carbon sequestration amongst others were recommended.

Introduction: Obesity has emerged as a major health problem and risk factor for various disorders worldwide. Obesity has been deﬁned as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation triggered by disproportion in energy intake than expenditure. Obesity is a non-communicable medical disorder that has largely been accepted as a reflection of healthy living and affluence among Nigerians. It is usually defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the histopathological and biochemical effect of Moringa olerifera aqueous leaf extract on obesity induced albino rat. Methodology: A total number of 25 healthy albino rats were used. The group 1 served as negative control group consisting of 5 rats including, they were given water ad libitum and were fed with standard rat chow for 12 weeks. The group 2 consist of 5 rats, received water ad libitum and were administered orally with high-fat diet in the dose of 1ml daily of mixture of melted pig fat and hydrogenated vegetable oil in 3:2 ratio respectively for 12weeks and also fed with a standard rat chow and served as obese positive control group. The group 3 also consist of 5 rats, served as standard control group in which they were fed orally with high fat diet in a dose of 1ml of mixture of melted pig fat and hydrogenated vegetable oil in 3:2 ratio for 6 weeks and were orally administered standard drug orlistat 12mg/kg body weight daily for another 6 weeks. While group 4 and group 5 have 5 rats each received water and were administered orally with melted pig fat and hydrogenated vegetable oil 1ml daily for 6 weeks and standard rat chow after 6 weeks of feeding, moringa oleifera aqueous leaf extract in a dose of 200mg/kgbwt and 400mg/kgbwt respectively, daily for another 6 weeks the dose of extract chosen were based on the result of acute toxicity (LD50) study conducted. Results: The LD50 of M. oleifera is more than 5000mg/kgbwt as all doses below this incurred zero percentage of death among all groups of rats, shows no toxicity or mortality recorded after 24 hours all the animals in both Phase I and Phase II. The biochemical Parameters of Liver shows that there was no statistical significant difference in results of the parameters of all the groups when compared among the groups. Liver section shows hepatic fatty deposition when compared with control group. While A Group1 and B Group 4 Treated 200mg/kg shows no hepatic fatty deposition in hepatocytes and central vein. So also in A Group 1 and B Group 5 Treated 400mg/kg shows normal hepatocytes and central vein. Conclusion: This study shows that Moringa oleifera leaf extract possesses anti-hepatic fatty deposition properties like that of selected standard drugs. At higher acceptable dose of Moringa oleifera demonstrated better anti-obesity properties with the selected standard drugs. Hence, leaf extract of Moringa. oleifera is beneficial in the management of dietary obesity.

“…It is the most widely cultivated species of a monogeric family, this rapidly-growing tree (also known as the horse radish tree, drustick tree, benzolive tree, kelor, marango, mlonge, moonga, mulangay, nebeday, saijhan, sajna or Ben oil tree) was utilized by the ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians; though, it is now widely cultivated and has become naturalized in many locations in the tropics [12]. However, there is fewer information in the literature as regards to the use of bark extracts of M. oleifera as an organic piscicide in aquaculture pond management in the developing world despite containing several piscicidal ingredients [13,14], therefore, this work aimed to ascertain the piscicidal effect of M. oleifera bark aqueous extract on C. gariepinus (African catfish) juvenile.…”
