Bioefficiency of Clarias gariepinus Liver Rhodanese and Physicochemical Parameters of Soil from Cassava Effluent Contaminated Odo-Oba River, Ogbomosho, Oyo State, Nigeria

Abstract This study was conducted to assess the effect of water quality of the Ogun River on the haematological indices of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus. Samples of water and Clarias gariepinus were collected from Ogun River (Station I, Opeji and Station II, Lafenwa) to determine and compare effects of possible differences in water quality on haematological parameters of Clarias gariepinus. The results demonstrate that higher index values were recorded at station II than Station I for almost all the physicochemical parameters and only sulphate values from Stations I and II were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Abstract Most rivers and reservoirs in the world are prone to pollution because of indiscriminate disposal of domestic, agricultural and industrial wastes into the water bodies. In this study, we investigated the ecotoxicological potential this could pose in fish species collected from major reservoirs and rivers in Ilorin, north central, Nigeria. Water samples were collected and the physicochemical parameters were examined from five different sites; Unilorin reservoir, Asa reservoir, Apodu reservoir, Asa river (Unity) and Asa river (Harmony). We determined serum biochemical (AST, ALT, ALP, serum ALB), histopathological (gill, lungs), serum antioxidant enzyme responses (SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GST) which serves as a biomarker for evaluating oxidative stress while micronucleus and comet assays were used to detect level of DNA damage in Tilapia zillii and Clarias gariepinus. The physicochemical parameters and heavy metal analysed (Pb, Mn, Cu, Ni, N, P, Fe, Cl, and Ca) in the five different water bodies were below the permissible limits of WHO and USEPA except the DO, which was very low in the two rivers, indicating hypoxia. Our results showed significant increase in biochemical and hematological profiles, histopathological lesions in the gill and lungs, inductions of MN, NA and DNA single strand break in Tilapia zillii and Clarias gariepinus collected from Asa rivers compared to the Unilorin, Apodun and Asa reservoirs. This may be attributed to indiscriminate discharge of effluents from nearby industries, agricultural and domestic wastes into the rivers.

The most significant pollutants are the heavy metals in the aquatic network due to their toxicity, accumulation, and bio-magnification. In an attempt to characterize the physical-chemical and demonstrate the potential water impact of the heavy metal content of wastes in two lakes in Sharkia province, Egypt, this study was developed to determine their toxicity and the potential waste impacts in biochemistry and histology of fish muscle. Samples of water and fish muscles were collected and analyzed for heavy metals using atomic absorption of two different fish species (Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias gariepinus) along two canals in Sharkia province in Egypt during the four seasons in 2018. The water samples were also analyzed for the physicochemical parameters. The impact of heavy metal on the enzymatic antioxidant (superoxide dismutase and catalase) as well as the reduced glutathione content, besides the oxidative stress marker presented by lipid peroxidation levels in fish muscles, were evaluated. Results showed the largest amount of chloride (Cl-) and iron (Fe) in the Sharkia water sample, while Faquas water sample had the highest level of HCO3 and iron (Fe). The manganese concentration in the fish muscle was the highest in Sharkia water and the highest level of Fe was detected in the fish muscles collected from Faquas area. These high levels of some of the physicochemical parameters and heavy metals in the two lakes with two different wastes as seen in this study may be a source of water pollution. The highest accumulation of metals in the muscle of the two fish species, suggesting risk for human consumption. There were seasonal variations in the level of LPO in muscle tissue of two types of fishes with a reverse relationship with antioxidant parameters. This accumulation varied seasonal and spatial as well as according to the species of fish. Increasing the level of heavy metals effect on the biochemistry and histology of fish.

1 RESUME La comparaison de la croissance de Clarias gariepinus et de Clarias ngamensis dans un système semi-intensif basé sur le poids et la taille lors de la reproduction artificielle à la ferme Mwema à Lubumbashi. L’étude a portée sur un lot homogène de 100 alevins dont 50 de Clarias gariepinus ayant un poids initial de 30g et 22cm de longueur corporelle, en suite 50 de Clarias ngamensis dont le poids initial était de 30g et 20cm de longueur corporelle. Au bout de 5 mois d’étude, nous avions obtenu un poids moyen de 82g et 29cm pour Clarias gariepinus et 60g et 25cm pour Clarias ngamensis. En faisant recours à la méthode d’échantillonnage, aux paramètres physico-chimiques de l’eau, aux paramètres mesures et a la reproduction induite, les résultats obtenus montrent qu’il y a différence significative entre le poids moyen de Clarias et de la taille. Il ressort que la plaque vomérienne que possède le Clarias gariepinus a une influence sur la valorisation des aliments mis à sa disposition par rapport au Clarias ngamensis élevé dans l’étang. SUMMARY The comparison of the growth of Clarias gariepinus and Clarias ngamensis in a semiintensive system based on weight and size during artificial propagation on the Mwema farm in Lubumbashi. The study was carried out on a homogeneous batch of 100 fry including 50 Clarias gariepinus with an initial weight of 30g and 22cm of body length, followed by Clarias ngamensis whose initial weight was 30g and 20cm of body length. After 5 months of study, we obtained an average weight of 82g and 29cm for Clarias gariepinus and 60g and 25cm for Clarias ngamensis. Using the sampling method, the physicochemical parameters of the water, the measured parameters and the induced reproduction, the results obtained show that there is a significant difference between the average weight of Clarias and the size . It appears that the vomereal plate that Clarias gariepinus possesses has an influence on the valorization of the food put at its disposal compared to the Clarias ngamensis raised in the pond.

Dermestes maculatus is a major pest of stored fish in Nigeria, fish is preserved with highly persistent synthetic chemicals. There have been an increasing effort at developing plant-based toxicants that are environmentally friendly. Therefore, this study was conducted to screen the leaf extract of Azadirachta indica for phytochemical constituents. The efficacy of the methanolic leaf extract of the plant against D. maculatus was also evaluated. The leaves of A. indica were obtained, processed and taken to laboratory for methanolic extraction. Phytochemical screening was carried out to identify saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, glycosides, triterpenes and carbohydrates using standard procedure. Both clean and infested samples of smoke-dried Clarias gariepinus were purchased from Sabon Gari Market, Zaria. The infested samples were used as initial source of D. maculatus larvae. Range finding test was carried out prior to the bioassay. During the bioassay, clean un-infested fish samples were weighed and introduced into kilner jars and respective dosages of 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.6g and 0.8g of extract were added. Another set of fish samples without the extract were maintained as control. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design with three replicates. Fifteen larvae of D. maculatus were introduced into both treated and control containers and covered. Mortality was recorded after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Data obtained revealed an increase in mortality with increasing dose and time. Mortality ranged from 1.67 to 11.00. Therefore, leaf extract of A. indica should be incorporated in the development of larvicide against D. maculatus.
