Fish Abundance And Distribution Of Three Water Bodies
The Fish Abundance And Distribution Of Three Water Bodies Project Material
Abstract
Fish abundance and distribution of three water bodies namely Onah lake, Anwai river and River Niger at cable point was studied. Fish specimens were collected using gill nets, traps, and hook and line between July-December, 2013. One thousand four hundred and eighty seven fish specimens were collected and brought to the laboratory at Delta state university for further identification using identification key. The family Mochokidae was the most abundant with 441 individuals from the three sampling stations followed by Cichlidae with 374 individuals. The least represented families were Notopteridae and Dasyatidae with 3 individuals each. On the species level, Oreochromis niloticus had the highest number with 118 individuals followed by Synondontis occeilifer with 104 individuals, while the least representation were Hemichromis bimaculatus and Aechenoglanis biscutatus with 1 individuals each. The rich assemblage of fish species collected indicates that these water bodies have the potential for fish production if properly managed. It is hoped that the information gathered will be useful for future planning and management of the fisheries resources of Onah lake, Anwai river and River Niger at Cable point.
Airms and Objectives
The general aim of this study is to ascertain the abundance and distribution of fish three water bodies. Hence the specific objectives include:
- Identify the species composition of fishes caught in the three water stations.
- Identify the distribution of fish caught by families.
- Checklist the Fish Families with Species/Genus.
