Abstract Objectives Three medicinal plants: Zingiber officinale rhizome, Allium sativum bulb, and Moringa oleifera seeds, were evaluated for progeny inhibition in fish beetle, Dermestes maculatus, and incidence of bacteria and fungi in smoked-dried Clarias gariepinus. Materials and Methods Cleaned C. gariepinus were separately soaked in extracts of these selected plants (50 g/1000 ml) for 60 min before smoke-drying in a mud kiln at 105°C and later divided into lots. Sensory evaluation was conducted on uninfested fishes in lot A while fishes in lot B was artificially infested with five pairs of newly emerged adult D. maculatus for 10 days. Number of emerged larva, adult insects, and incidence of microorganisms before and following 90 days in storage after infestation were used as indices of potency of the extracts. Results Results obtained showed that all the treated uninfested smoked-dried C. gariepinus retained high scores for taste, texture, aroma, and appearance within the first 5 weeks of storage after smoking when compared with the control. This implied that the tested extracts had no negative effect in terms of sensory attributes on the treated fish during storage and can therefore be used for fish preservation. Meanwhile, A. sativum among all the selected extracts had the least number of larvae (17.67 ± 1.45), adult (21.00 ± 1.53), fungi (9.00 × 102 ± 0.53 sfu/ml) and bacteria counts (11.33 ×102 ± 0.33 cfu/ml) following 90 days in storage after infestation. Conclusion Allium sativum among the tested extracts proved to be most effective and could be recommended for control of D. maculatus and microorganisms in smoked C. gariepinus.

Initial Source

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.

Immersion Period

The paper aims to study the best immersion period and concentration of the plant extracts under study (water-leaf and Aloe vera gel) that can efficiently remove egg adhesiveness of Clarias gariepinus. Data generated were subjected to Multivariate Analysis of Variance Test, Tukey multiple range tests was used as a follow up procedure. Third order Polynomial regression analysis was then used to determine the best concentration and immersion period that neutralizes adhesiveness in eggs of C. gariepinus. The experiment was carried out at The Teaching and Research Fish Farm, Federal University of Technology, Akure, between October 2018 to December 2018. One male and one female C. gariepinus brood stock weighing 1.0 kg and 1.3 kg, respectively were used for the experiment. Three different concentrations (1, 3, and 5)% of the plant extracts were used. 2 g of urea diluted in 4 g NaCl/L of water was used as reference de-adhesion agent, while water without urea solution nor plant extracts was used as control. The fish eggs were rinsed with the solutions at different durations of 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Each concentration and rinsing time was recorded in duplicates. Results of the study showed that there were no significant differences (p=0.05) in the non-adhesive egg hatching of eggs immersed in Aloe vera gel and Urea solution. Number of non-adhesive egg and hatching increased in waterleaf extract which was significantly different (P=0.05) from eggs immersed in Aloe vera gel and water but not significantly different from urea solution. Therefore this study shows that waterleaf extract at 1% concentration and 1 minute immersion period can efficiently remove egg adhesiveness and increase hatching in C. gariepinus.

Studies were conducted under ambient condition to assess the efficacy of Clerodendrum capitatum (Willd) Schumachet. Thonn. (Lamiales: Verbenaceae) against larvae infestation and adult emergence of Dermestes maculatus De Geer, 1774 (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) on smoked dried catfish Claria gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) (Siluriformes: Clariidae). The leaf powder was admixed at 2.5 g, 3.0 g, 4.0 g and 5.0 g/15 g to disinfected smoke-dried catfish Clarias gariepinus separately in a 125 mL plastic container. Ten newly emerged (0-72 h) larvae of D. maculatus were introduced into each of the plastic containers. Efficacy of Clerodendrum capitatum was assessed based on percentage larval mortality, adult emergence reduction and weight loss. Results showed that the plant powder cause significantly (p < 0.05) larval mortality compared to the untreated fish at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h post infestation. Percentage reduction of adult emergence was not significant (p > 0.05) in treated fish samples compared to untreated sample. While fish sample protected with powder of Clerodendrum capitatum, exhibit significant (p < 0.05) low weight loss as against weight loss observed in untreated fish. The efficacy of Clerodendrum capitatum is inversely proportional to increase in dosage rate. This study clearly demonstrated the larvicidal potential of Clerodendrum capitatum powder in offering effective protection against infestation and damage by D. maculatus and recommended for utilization in integrated post-harvest management strategies of smoke-dried fish.

Insectes Ravageurs

Dans de nombreux pays en voie de développement, 80% des captures de poissons sont fumés ou séchés afin de limiter les dégâts. Les insectes constituent un problème récurrent du poisson fumé stocké causant des grandes pertes économiques. Le but de l’étude réalisée dans quatre campements (Djeela, Nemeyong I, Malene I, Ndengué) de la boucle nord de la Réserve de Biosphère du Dja (RBD), était de déterminer la diversité des insectes ravageurs des poissons fumés stockés et leurs dégâts. Dans chaque campement, 25 outils de stockage des poissons fumés ont été inspectés, puis caractérisés et les espèces de poissons fumés identifiées. Lors de cette prospection, des collections de 8 espèces de poissons fumés ont été ramenées et mises en observation au laboratoire. Les insectes émergés des collections ont été dénombrés et identifiés et les dégâts évalués. Il ressort de cette étude que 31 espèces ichtyologiques appartenant à 12 familles sont fumées. Les Cichlidae (35,4%), les Clariidae (20,1%) et les Cyprinidae (10,3%) sont les familles les plus représentées. Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus, Clariallabes manyangae sont les espèces les plus fumées. Les claies sont les outils de stockage les plus utilisés (46,66%). Excepté C. gariepinus infesté à 80%, les autres collections sont toutes infestées. Dermestes maculatus, Necrobia rufipes (Coléoptères) et Calliphora sp (Diptères) sont les insectes ravageurs des poissons fumés stockés. D. maculatus est le Coléoptère le plus préjudiciable aux stocks de poissons fumés avec 786 individus (99,49%) et 173,8 g de farine de forage. Les Insectes sont les principaux ravageurs des poissons fumés dans la RBD. C. gariepinus, C. manyangae et M. moorii sont les poissons fumés les plus attaquées. Les claies sont les outils de stockage les plus répandues.Mots clés : poissons fumés, structure de stockage, insectes ravageurs, dégâts, Réserve de Biosphère du Dja. English Title: Insect pests of smoked fishes during storage and damages done in the north loop of the Dja Biosphere Reserve (East-Cameroon) In many developing countries, 80% of fish catches are smoked or dried to limit losses. Insects are a recurring problem of stored smoked fishes causing great economic losses. The purpose of the study carried out in four camps (Djeela, Nemeyong I, Malene I, Ndengué) of the north loop of the Dja Biosphere Reserve (DBR), was to determine the diversity of insect pests of stored smoked fishes and their damages. In each camp, 25 smoked fish storage tools were inspected, then characterized, and the smoked fish species identified. During this survey, collections of 8 species of smoked fishes were brought back and put under observation in the laboratory. The insects emerged from the collections were enumerated and identified and the damage assessed. This study shows that 31 fish species belonging to 12 families are smoked. Cichlids (35.4%), Clariidae (20.1%) and Cyprinidae (10.3%) are the most common families. Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus, Clariallabes manyangae are the most smoked species. Racks are the most used storage tools (46.66%). With the exception of C. gariepinus infested at 80%, the other collections are all infested. Dermestes maculatus, Necrobia rufipes (Coleopterans) andCalliphora sp (Dipterans) are the insect pests of the stored smocked fishes. D. maculatus is the more prejudicial Coleopteran to the storage of smoked fishes with 786 individuals (99.49%) and 173.8 g of drilling flour. Insects are the main pests of smocked fishes in the DBR. C. gariepinus, C. manyangae and M. moorii are the most attacked species. Racks are the most common storage tools.Keywords: Smoked fish, storage structure, insect pests, damages, Dja Biosphere Reserve.
