Sensory Evaluation Of Spiced Catfish Using Brine, Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric As Preservatives And Value-added Enhancers In Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria
The sensory quality of smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) treated with different natural preservatives was studied. Catfish chunks were cured with; Salt (T1), Ginger (T2), Garlic (T3), Turmeric (T4), Ginger and garlic (T5), Ginger and turmeric (T6) and Garlic and turmeric (T7) at different levels (10, 20, and 20 g) and evaluated. The study comprises seven (7)... Continue here

Effectiveness Of Salt, Ginger, Garlic And Turmeric As Preservatives On The Microbial Quality Of Smoked African Catfish (clarias Gariepinus) In Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria
Effectiveness of salt, ginger, garlic and turmeric as preservatives on the microbial quality of smoked C. gariepinus was investigated after treatments and storage for two months, with a view to extending its shelf life as well as consumer acceptance. 105 kg of fresh C. gariepinus was distributed at 15 kg per treatment, and cured with T1 (Salt), T2 (Ginger), T3...

Spatial And Temporal Dynamics Of The Primary Productivity Of The Lower River Niger At Agenebode, Edo State, Nigeria
Biotic systems rely on continuous energy inputs, mostly from sunlight through primary production, to maintain their structure and order. There is a paucity of information on the primary productivity of the Lower River Niger (LRN), hence, this study investigates the variation in the primary production of LRN across time and space. LRN was stratified into three... Continue here

Composition Of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (hermetia Illucens): A Comparative Study Across Three Different Rearing Substrates And Two Different Drying Methods
The development of the aquaculture sector in Nigeria has been slowed by the growing cost of feed ingredients, particularly fish meal. It is becoming more and more common to produce Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) as insect meal and a sustainable substitute for conventional animal feed sources. However, there is limited information on the best... Continue here

Microbial Assessment Of Clarias Gariepinus Fillets Fed Defatted And Non-defatted Sundried Black Soldier Fly Larvae Meal
Aquaculture production in Nigeria is hindered by the dependence on fishmeal as the main protein source in fish feed. Consequently, there is a need to explore alternative protein sources that is cost-effective, sustainable and pose no risk to consumers. This study evaluated the microbial loads and isolates in Clarias gariepinus fillets fed defatted (DF) and... Continue here

Effect Of Commercial Probiotics On Growth Performance, Carcass Quality And Haematological Profile Of Clarias Gariepinus (burchell, 1822) Juveniles Cultured In Concrete Tanks
Two thousand (2000) Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (5.25 g) were obtained from a reputable fish farm in Lagos and were transported to the grow-out section of the Aquaculture Department, Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Badore, Lagos. Four concrete tanks (2 m x 6 m x 1 m) were thoroughly washed with saline water; two of the concrete tanks... Continue here

Effect Of Packaging On The Proximate Composition Of Stored Citrus Essential Oil-preserved Smoked Clupeids (e. Fimbriata And S. Maderensis)
