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 waterbodies 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
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Fisheries resources are on the reduction in Nigeria due to over
exploitation and inadequate management of her coastal waters (Lawson
and Olusanya, 2010). For sustainability of these resources, an adequate
knowledge of species composition, relative abundance of her water
bodies must be understood and actively pursued (Lawson and Olusanya,
2010).
Different species in a given area is the fundamental unit in
which to assess the homogeneity of an environment and community used in
conservation studies to determine the sensitivity of the ecosystems
and their resident species while rare species is relative to other
species in a given community and are usually describe for a single
tropic level (Lawson and Olusanya, 2010).
Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural aquatic resources in
Marine, Estuarine and Freshwater environments. The freshwater
components are within extensive river systems, lakes, flood plans and
reservoirs scattered over the entire land surface area of over 4,212,
500ha (Ita, 1993) as cited by (Obasohan and Oransaye, 2006). Nigeria
also has (8) coastal states namely; Ogun State, Lagos State, Ondo
State, Delta State, Bayelsa State, Akwa-Ibom State and Cross River
state.
The fish fauna of the Nigerian freshwater system has been the
focus of research for quite sometimes. Some of the researcher are
Welman (1984); Banks et al., (1965); Akinyemi (19850; Idodo-umeh (1987)
and Ita (1987). These studies concentrated more on rivers, with less
attention on the lakes and wet lands yet they produced a variety of
reports on the Nigerian Freshwater.
