Composition, distribution, and diversity of benthic Macroinvertebrate from Creeks around Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria

The distribution and diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate fauna in Pondicherry mangroves, India

BACKGROUND Species distribution, abundance and diversity of mangrove benthic macroinvertebrate fauna and the relationships to environmental conditions are important parts of understanding the structure and function of mangrove ecosystems. In this study seasonal variation in the distribution of macrobenthos and related environmental parameters were explored at four mangrove stations along the Po...

Physico-Chemical Parameters and Heavy Metal Contents of Water from the Mangrove Swamps of Lagos Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria

A study was conducted on physico-chemical parameters and heavy metal contents of water from the mangrove swamps of Lagos lagoon, Nigeria. The study was aimed at assessing its suitability for fish production and as well as its safety for drinking purpose in man. In all eleven (11) physical and chemical parameters and six (6) heavy metals were investigated for water quality assessment of the lago...

Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from seafoods in Lagos Lagoon Nigeria

In this study, a total of 90 seafood samples; croaker fish (Pseudotolithus senegalensis), shrimps (Penaeus notialis) and blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) collected from landing sites along the Lagos Lagoon in Nigeria were examined for the prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus using both biochemical and molecular methods. Biochemical identification of the isolates was confirmed by Polymerase Chai...

Benthic Macroinvertebrate/ Water Quality

The Ecology contribution to address this question is to determine possible physicochemical impacts on 1) pond water quality and biological integrity, and 2) avulsed pit pond water quality and biological integrity in the historical pit location and receiving waters. These questions will be addressed by all study partners together in a more comprehensive fashion after the interim phase of reporting.
