All the diets were iso-nitrogenous. One hundred andfifty (150) C. gariepinus juveniles (33 g ~ 35 g) were randomly distributedto five treatments with three replicates each and 5% of their body weightfor 12 weeks.

Fish samples were taken to the Microbiology laboratory, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta Ogun State for milt microbial analyses, and amplicon were taken to International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan for molecular characterization. Bio-edit was use for importing and mining nucleotide sequences into gene bank. The results revealed that the following bacterial organisms were present in the milt of Clarias gariepinus: Aeromonas caviae, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia rubidaea, Pseudomonas mosselii, Acinetobacter soli and Klebsiella variicola. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tools revealed the percentage similarity ranging from 86- 97.04% and their accession numbers. These bacteria indicated high levels of faecal contamination in the environment. In conclusion, bacteria were found in the milt of cultured catfish and are capable of being pathogenic to humans and may increase the vertical transfer to fry during breeding and rearing stage.

Studies were conductedon the viscera somatic index based on the organ weight and the bodyweight of the fish and the food item consumed by Parachanna obscura andClarias agboyiensis between May to October, 2019 to infer on the filletquality and gut content of P. obscura and C. agboyiensis in the water bodyrespectively. A summary of food items that constituted the diet of Clariasagboyiensis are Baccillariophyta, fish, fat droplets, dinoflagellate, insectand Chlorophyta which constituted the most important food items bothoccurring in all stomachs containing food. The fishes has more muscle thanthe viscera organs which indicate that the weight of the fish before dressingout is higher than the weight of the fish after dressing out. This is suggestiveof a good quality of food fish. There was a significant correlation betweenbody weight and total length of specimens found in this study. Increasesin total length resulted in corresponding increases in body weight. Theresult for the condition factor showed was below the expected or standardvalue (K = 1) which shows this species was not in favorable environmentalcondition. It is therefore necessary to allow phytoplanktons grow well inwater body to increase availability of food items to Parachanna obscuraand Clarias agboyiensis.

Fish consumption is world's prime source of high-quality protein; and about 14–16 percent of the animal protein consumed worldwide. This article also emphasizes therapeutic uses of fish oil in healing of wounds, hyperpigmentation, dermatitis, and in cardiovascular risks. Fish oil usage is good for skin-related diseases and for photoageing, cancer, dermatitis, wound healing, and melanogenesis. Fish oil polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are highly beneficial in cardiovascular problems and dermatitis.
