The drilling mud evaluated is widely and consistently applied in exploratory operations and discarded haphazardly in the myriad of water systems, which characterise the Niger Delta basin. Pronounced mortal damage occurred in crabs exposed to as low as 2% concentration by volume of the drilling mud. Histo-pathological consequences of the tested mud on the crabs included irregular tissue shape, macrophages, inflammatory cells and basiophilic spots, etc. Uptake of barium, a carcinogenic component of the drilling mud by the crabs and implications for human consumers are also discussed.

Data on body weight (BW) of 45 squabs were taken from day of hatch to 18 days (at intervals of 3 days) from eleven (11) households. The mean body weight at hatching was 12.81 + 0.65g, while it was 219.82 + 8g at 18 days; males were significantly heavier than females at all ages. The average weight gains (AWG) per day from 0 to 3 and 15 to 18 days were 8.91 + 0.87g and 8.13 + 0.67g, respectively. The highest rates of growth were observed between the third and ninth days post-hatching. This study has shown that by the 18 th day post hatching, a squab could attain a weight 17 times its weight at hatching. Therefore, raising these birds in large numbers will augment the animal protein requirement in the country.
