Item Application of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing to Aquaculture and Fisheries Potentials of Shiroro Lake, Niger State.(Annual School of Science and Science education conference Federal University of Technology Minna, 2006) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ibrahim S.U; Sadiku S.O.E; Halilu A.SThe study examines the application of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing to aquaculture and Fisheries Potentials of Shiroro Lake. By integrating physico-chemical parameters into Geographic Information System database. This also involved identifying and estimating potential areas of aquaculture development. To provide focus for the study. Five sampling sites (stations) were selected within the lake basin. Multispectral hand satellites image was used to detect suitable areas of the lake for aquaculture, and fishery production. The suitability raising was established based on physico-chemical data obtained from previous survey which identified station IV (River Dinya entering point) as the most suitable site for aquaculture followed by station I (Dam Crest) as suitable station V (River Munya entering point) moderately suitable while station II (River Kaduna entering point) and station IIl River Sarkin Pawa entering point) classified as unsuitable based on the scale of the ideal ranges of all the physico-chemical parametersItem Spatial Distribution of Phytoplankton and Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Reservoir Agaie-Lapai Dam, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria(Journal of Biology and Life Science, 2016) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Yakubu M. A.Presence of phytoplankton displays water quality and useablity by aquatic life. Agaie-Lapai Dam located in Niger State (latitude 9⁰ 39N and longitude 6⁰33E) was constructed for irrigation purpose and also to serves as source of livelihood to fishermen living in surroundings. The objective of the present research was conducted to assess the distribution of phytoplankton and physic-chemical assessment of Agaie-Lapai Dam. Reservoir Water. Samples were collected fortnightly and analyzed for phytoplankton and physico-chemical parameters. The dissolved oxygen ranged from 3.8 – 5.15mg/l and temperature from 24.6 – 29.00C. A total of 14 species of 5 taxonomic groups were recorded. Bacillariophyceae was the most abundant group (44%) followed by Chlorophyceae (26%) while the lowest was Dinophyceae (8%). Phytoplankton abundances in the following descending order: Bacillariophyceae>Cyanophyceae>Chlorophyceae>Chrysophyceae>Dinophyceae.The spatial analysis revealed that phytoplankton was not equally distributed in the water that enabled it to function as productive water body. The observed physico-chemical parameters fell within thus it was within the tolerable limits. It is expected that the identified species will enhance fish productivity.Item Identification and Extraction of Bio Diesel from Micro Algae(Continental Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R.O.; Ogaba I.This study was carried out to identify species of algae that can produce bio diesel considering the physico chemical parameters that favour the growth of these algae. Water samples were taken from five (5) different locations to assess the physic-chemical parameters, micro algae productive capacity of the water in terms of their quantity. The most productive out of these stations were sampled for micro algae for extraction of bio diesel. The micro algae identified were Neoclanis oleoabundans, Scenedesmus dimorphus, Dunaliella tertialecta, Chlamidomonas, Mallomna spp, Anabena, Richteriella, Chlorella. The physic-chemical parameters measured were hardness, alkalinity, pH and conductivity and all fell within the tolerable limit. The water body that produce more quantity of bio diesel extracted from the micro algae was 27.92gItem Public Health Implication of Gurara River Izom environment Niger State, Nigeria(Eco-Tourism and Fisheries Development, 2006) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Adama S. B.Water samples were collected from River Gurara around the Gurara Falls and Izom settlement once every month for a period of twelve (12) months (June 2004 May 2005). Microbial studies were carried out on the water samples collected. There were marked variations between different samples, stations and seasons. The microbial studies showed the presence of enteric gram negative, gram positive and pyogeric groups of bacteria. Some species of indicator organisms were recorded. The results obtained showed that the activities of Izom populace has some impact on the water quality and public health status of River GuraraItem Toxicity and Histopathological Effect of Cypermethrin on Juveniles of Clarias gariepinus(British Journal of Applied Science & Technology, 2014) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Asuwaju F. P.; Obande R. A.; Agbelege O. O.Aim: To study the toxicity and histopathological effects of Cypermethrin on the gill and liver tissues of the Clarias gariepinus. Place of the Study: It was carried out at the toxicology section of the of Water Resources, Aquaculture and Fisheries Technology Department, School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology of the Federal university, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Methodology: The fish were exposed to six (6) acute concentrations (0.025mg/l, 0.050mg/l, 0.075mg/l, 0.100mg/l, 0.125mg/l and 0.000mg/l) for 96 hours. The histopathology of the gills and liver were determined and the LC50 was determined. Results: The 96 hours LC50 of the toxicant to the test fish was 0.060mg/L. The most common gill changes at all doses of cypermethrin in solution were destruction of gill lamella, epithelial hyperplasia and epithelial hypertrophy. Hepatic lesions in the liver tissues of fish exposed to Cypermethrin in solution were characterized by degeneration ofhepatocyte, vascuolization of cell cytoplasm, fatty degeneration and hypertrophy of hepatocytes. Histological comparison of tissues indicated that most damage occurred in the gill rather than in the liver. Conclusion: Juveniles of Clarias gariepinus exposed to various concentration of Cypermethrin showed that this synthetic pyrethroid was highly toxic to the Clarias gariepinus fingerlings with lethal concentration (LC50) of 0.060mg/l. Evidences of toxicity manifested significantly in the damages caused to the gills and liver studied. The severity of these damages to some selected organs in the body of the fish is proportional to the concentration of the pesticides.Item Toxicity of Parkia biglobosa pod extract on Clarias gariepinus juveniles(International Journal of Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2012) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Avbarefe E. P.; Asuwaju F. P.The toxicity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Parkia biglobosa pods (95, 85, 75, 65 and 55 mg/l) on Clarias gariepinus was investigated under laboratory condition over a 96 h exposure period. Fish exposed to both extracts exhibited clinical signs including eventual death but was not observed in the control fish. Weight change in fish was observed as well as the effect of the plant on the water parameters. However, clinical signs and death were more in fish exposed to the ethanolic extract. It was concluded that aqueous and ethanol extracts of P. biglobosa pods are toxic to C. geriepinus juveniles with the ethanol extract being more toxic, which shows that apart from the bark of P. biglobosa, the pods has piscicidal property and can be put into use in the control and management of fish ponds to eradicate predators by farmers.Item The Growth Response of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Fingerlings fed Tadpole Meal Replacing Fish Meal(Nigerian Journal of Fisheries and Aquaculture, 2019) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ndako M. Z.; Bake G. G.; Gana A. B.This study evaluates the growth performance of clarias gariepinus fingerlines fed tadpole meal partially replacing fish. five iso-nitrogenous ( crude protein 42%) diets were prepared and designated as TP1 (0% controlled), TP2 (10%), TP(30%) TP(45%) TP(60%) of tadpole meal as replacement of fish meal. the diets were fed to fingerlings of clarias gariepinus for 56 days. Fish were stocked into 5 glass aquarium tanks at 20 fish par glass aquarium (0.6m x 0.3m x 0.3m).Item Zooplankton Abundance and Diversity of River Kaduna and College of Agriculture and Animal Sciences Dam (CAAS) Kaduna, Nigeria(Nigerian Journal of Fishries and Aquaculture, 2017) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Habibu S.The study was carried out to assess zooplankton and diversity and abundance of River Kaduna and College of Agriculture and Animal Sciences Dam (CAAS) Kaduna. Water samples were collected ones a month for the period of twelve months. Water samples were collected from four sampling stations each for Kaduna River and CAAS Dam. Samples were then taken to the lap for analyses and identification of organisms. The abundance of Zooplankton on College of Animal Sciences is from 26 families and total specie is 318, specie abundance for Dam during the the wet season was 147 and 192 in the dry season. For the River's abundance of zooplankton specie was 28 from 6 families and total species was 352 species abundance of river during the wet season was 140 dry season total specie in the river is 187.Item Relationship between fish species abundance and physico-chemical parameters of Tagwai Lake, Minna, Nigeria.(Fisheries Society of Nigeria, 2020) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Tsadu S. M.; Chukwuemeka V. IThe study was carried out to investigate the temporal variations, in terms of physico-chemical parameters as well as the fish species abundance in Tagwai Lake, Minna, Nigeria and establish a relationship between both parameters using Canonical correspondence analysis ,from January 2013 to December, 2014. The results of the physico-chemical parameters investigated revealed that the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) ranged from 6.60±0.75 (mg/l) to 12.7±0.66 (mg/l), in 2013 and 6.00±0.31 (mg/l) to 11.20±1.35 (mg/l) in 2014. The BOD ranged from 2.40±0.24 (mg/l) to 7.00±1.52 (mg/l) in 2013; and from 3.28±0.41 (mg/l) to 5.60±1.02 (mg/l) in 2014. The DO values in the rainy season months were significantly different (p >0.05) from those of the dry season months. A total of ten (10) species of fishes belonging to seven families were identified namely, Clariidae (Clarias gariepinus), Claroteidae (Chrysicthys auratus), Bagridae (Auchenoglanis occidentalis), Characidae (Alestes dentex), Mormyridae (Mormyrus hasselquistii) and Cichlidae (Sarotherodon galiliaeus, Tilipia zillii and Tilapia aurea, Hemichromis fasciatus, and Clupeidae (Odaxothrissa mento). Correlation between fish species and physico-chemical parameters revealed strong correlation of Tilapia galileae and Mormyrus hasselquistii with phosphate. Hemichromis fasciatus correlated strongly with nitrate, BOD and DO. Auchenoglanis occidentalis and Clarias gariepinus weakly correlated with pH. This indicate the influence of physico-chemical parameter on the domestication and productivity of the lakeItem Physiological Responses of the Heterobranchus Bidorsalis (Male) X Clarias Gariepinus (Female) Hybrid (Heteroclarias) Fingerlings to Different Temperature Levels under Laboratory Conditions(World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2015) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ayanwale Adesola Victoria; Iliya Auta Yohanna; Mohammed A. Z.; Lamai S. L.; Tsadu S. M.A twelve weeks experiment was carried out on Heteroclarias freshwater hybrid fish fingerlings under laboratory conditions to study the effects of different temperature levels, 26.91 (control), 28.00, 30.00, 32.00°C respectively and their physiological responses to oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and opercular respiratory beats were evaluated. The oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and opercular respiratory beats were determined weekly based on standard procedures. The findings revealed that the oxygen consumption of Heteroclarias hybrid fingerlings significantly (p<0.05) increased with increase in temperature. The ammonia excretion were not significantly different (p>0.05) in all the temperature levels. The opercular respiratory beats per minutes showed similar trend in weeks 1,2,4 and 8 but indicated significantly higher (p<0.05) opercular respiratory beats (range= 117.10±2.26 at 30oC to 142.75±3.04 opercular beat at 32oC in week 8) at highest tested temperature levels. However, there was a decreasing trend in the opercular respiratory beats per minute of the controlled fingerlings. Generally, the opercular respiratory beats per minute decreased with increase in fish size. The findings of this study confirmed that increase in water temperature affects the physiology of Heteroclarias hybrid and hence for effective rearing and for profit making, it is essential for the hybrid to be cultured in the temperature range between 26.91°C (control) to 28.00°CItem Influence Of Water Aeration Levels on the Opercular Respiratory Beats and Selected Water Quality Parameters of Heteroclarias Fingerlings under Laboratory Conditions in Minna, Nigeria(Tropical Freshwater Biology, 2019) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ayanwale Adesola Victoria; Iliya Auta Yohanna; Keke UniqueA twelve (12) week experiment was carried out to determine the influence of water aeration on the Opercular Respiratory Beats (ORB) and selected water quality parameters of 1,800 Heteroclarias fingerlings of average weight of 1.40 g under laboratory conditions. One hundred and fifty fingerlings were allotted in a complete randomized design into water aeration levels: 0.00(control), 6.00, 12.00 and 24.00 hours respectively as treatments and replicated thrice. The ORB and water quality parameters were determined weekly based on standard procedures .Water quality parameters investigated were not influenced by water aeration except the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentration in the control that was significantly (p<0.05) reduced. The respiratory beats (ranged from 51.60±5.94 to 53.17±3.77operculum beats per minutes) of fishes aerated within the investigated range of 6.00 – 24.00 hours were not significantly (P>0.05) different at the end of the 12th week. At the 2nd, 8th and 10th weeks, respiratory beats of the Heteroclarias fingerlings were not significantly (P>0.05) different among the treatments. However, in the 1st and 7th weeks respiratory beats were significantly (P<0.05) higher among the fishes not aerated (131.63±8.35operculum beats per minute) and those aerated (76.33±10.75 operculum beats per minute) for 6.00 hours. The ORB decreased with increase in fish size from week 1 to the end of the study. The research also showed that water aeration had no influence on the water quality parameters except DO of the controlled fingerlings. Water aeration had influence on ORB only at the 1st and 7th weeks of the experiment but no significant influence was recorded during the greater period of investigation. As a recommendation, fish farmers are advised to monitor the dissolved oxygen concentration daily in their ponds to ascertain when aeration is necessary. Findings of this research also remove the fears of maintenance cost of using Air pump.Item Influence of Temperature and Ph on Critical Water Quality Parameters of Laboratory-Reared Culture Media of the Economically Important Heteroclarias Fish Fingerlings(NSUK Journal of Science & Technology, 2016) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ayanwale A. V.; Tsadu S. M.; Lamai S. L.; Patrick O. S.; Abdulhakeem A.The attainment of species-specific conducive water quality environment is crucial to optimum production of fishes in captivity. This need therefore, informed the study of relationships between temperature, pH, and physicochemical parameters of Heteroclarias fingerlings under laboratory conditions. The fingerlings were raised at water temperature regime (Ambient (26.91oC), 28.00, 30.00 and 32.00oC); and pH of 5.00, 7.00 (i.e. ambient), 9.00 and 11.00. The water quality parameters (Dissolved Oxygen (DO); Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD); Ammonia; and Conductivity), of fish culture media were monitored weekly for three months. The results indicated that water temperature had no significant (P>0.05) effect on Ammonia concentration (range = 0.15 – 0.17mg/l) and pH condition (range = 6.78 at 26.91oC, to 6.95 at 28.00oC) of the culture media. Water temperature significantly (P<0.05) reduced DO from 6.16±0.91mg/l at 26.91oC, to < 5.00mg/l at temperatures above 28.00oC; but no significant difference in BOD at all temperatures levels. Conductivity increased significantly with rising temperature above the ambient condition (range = 251.02±59.73μS/cm at 26.91oC to 352.89±79.09μS/cm at 28.00oC). pH had no significant effects on the parameters at pH conditions tested; temperature, DO, BOD, and Ammonia. With the exception of significant difference in conductivity (P<0.05) of rearing media of Heteroclarias (range = 304.42±47.20μS/cm at pH 7.00, to 380.94±38.40 μS/cm at pH 9.00). pH 11.00 could not support survival of the fingerlings. The findings of this study have provided useful information for effective water quality management in artificial culturing of the fish Heteroclarias.Item Haematological effect of acute concentration of cypermethrin on juveniles of clarias gariepinus(International Journal of Engineering Science Invention, 2013) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Asuwaju F. P.; Obande R. A.; Agbelege O. O.The experiment was conducted to evaluate the acute toxic of cypermethrin, a synthetic pyrethroids on juveniles of Clarias gariepinus. The effect was assessed based on the comparism results of haematology, examinations of control and experimental group exposed to five nominal concentration of cypavest, 10EC Pesticide Preparation (active substance 100mg/l) of cypermethrin in a static non- renewal bioassay for 96hours. Examination of haematology significantly showed higher value (P < 0.001; 0.01) of white blood cell (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), packed cell volume (PCV), monophilis and heterophilis; a significant reduction (P < 0.001, 0.01) in Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Lymphocyte was obtained as compared to the control.cypermethrin is therefore toxic to juveniles of Clarias gariepinus.Item Feeding Habits and Food Preferences of Auchenoglanis Occidentalalis from Tagwai Lake, Minna, Nigeria(International Journal of Applied Biological Research, 2019) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Tsadu S. M.; Chukwuemeka V. I.The temporal variation in the food, feeding habits and food preference of Auchenoglanis occidentalis from Tagwai Lake, Minna, Nigeria were investigated from January 2013 to December 2014 using the frequency of occurrence method. In 2013, seven different food items were found in the diet namely; insect parts, plant materials, parts fish parts, protozoans, phytoplankton, sand particles and crustaceans. The same trend was observed in 2014. Insect materials were fed upon the most irrespective of year and season of sampling. When a comparison was done for both years using a T-test, the result revealed that insect parts valued about 24.00±2.00 in 2013 which was the highest value recorded while parts of fish had the highest frequency of occurrence in 2014 (22.50±3.50). The frequency of occurrence of protozoan for 2013 was 8.00±2.00 while that of 2014 was 11.00±2.00. From both years it is seen that although Auchenoglanis occidentalis from Tagwai Lake Minna is an omnivore, which fed on both plant and animal materials, it had tendency to feed more on animal materials.Item Composition and Dynamics of Some Nutrient and Physic-Chemical Parameter in Lower Course of Gwagwalada River in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria(American Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2014) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R. O.; Mbanaso C. A.Aims: Jabi dam, Lower Usuma dam and Gwagwalada river in the Federal Capital Territory were studied for a period of twelve months (January 2007–December 2007) to determine their nutrient composition and dynamics. Methodology: Samples were collected from these water bodies on monthly basis. The concentration of some nutrient parameters such as Phosphate-phosphorus (PO4-P), Nitrate-Nitrogen (NO4-N), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) were assessed. The results obtained were statistically analysed to show any relationship amongst them. Results: The mean values for NO4-N, Ca and K were not significantly different (P>0.05) between the three water bodies. While the mean value for PO4-P were significantly different (P<0.05), with Jabi dam having the highest mean value of 11.61mg/l, followed by Gwagwalada river, 9.96mg/l and Lower Usuma dam had least mean value of 2.46mg/l. Jabi dam, Lower Usuma dam and Gwagwalada river had mean TDS of 95.0mg/l, 88.5mg/l and 104.5mg/l respectively, Gwagwalada river being significantly different (P<0.05) from Jabi and Lower Usuma dams. Similarly, Jabi dam, Lower Usuma dam andGwagwalada river had mean Sodium values of 2.42mg/l, 2.85mg/l and 3.73mg/l respectively, Gwagwalada river being also significantly different (P<0.05) from Jabi and Lower Usuma dams. PO4-P and NO4-N showed no significant (P>0.05) monthly variations in the three water bodies. However, TDS, Ca, K, and Na showed significant (P<0.05) difference in monthly variations in the three water bodies. TDS, Ca, K, and Na had all their wet season mean values higher than their dry season mean values in all the three water bodies studied, while PO4-P and NO4-N had their wet season mean values lower than the dry season mean values in the three water bodies. Conclusion: The study revealed that the nutrient parameters measured were slightly lower than the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended values for aquatic life.Item Comparative Study of Sun Drying and Solar Tent Drying of Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis(Pakistan Journal of Nutrition, 2009) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ojutiku R.O.; Mohammed M.L.An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of two drying processing methods on the nutritional qualities of Hyperopisus bebe. The two methods used were solar tent dryer and traditional sun drying methods. The experimental fish were dried for 120 h (5 days). The results of proximate analysis showed significant difference (p<0.05) between the two techniques. Organoleptic evaluation showed no physical damage, no discolouration in the treatments and both had firm texture though fishes under traditional sun drying were infected by insects.Item Assessment of the Spatio-temporal environmental parameters of surface water in Gurara reservoir, Kaduna state, Nigeria(International Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies, 2019) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Iliya Auta Yohanna; Ojutiku R. O.; Arimoro F. O.; Mohammed A. Z.; Musa B. B.Water is one of the main concerns in developing countries. In order to deal with this problem, an assessment of the spatio-temporal environmental parameters of surface water of Gurara Reservoir in Kaduna State was studied for twelve months from (March 2017-February, 2018). The physico-chemical parameters were determined monthly using standard methods. They includes water and air temperature, pH, Dissolved oxygen (DO), biological Oxygen demand (BOD), Nitrate (No3-N), phosphorus (Po4-P), Total Hardness (TH), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Total dissolved Solid (TDS) and depth. All results were analyzed using descriptive analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Principal component analysis (PCA) was use to correlate the physico-chemical variables among the stations and months. All the parameters fluctuate between the stations. These was mostly noted within the seasons and most of the values increase as a results of influx of municipal waste, runoff from agricultural fields, herbicides and pesticides, deforestation and other chemicals. Although most of the environmental variable values recorded were within the standard permissible limits set by Nigeria Industrial Standard (NIS, 2007) and (WHO, 2014), few stations within the reservoir are inclined toward eutrophication, therefore, the conservation and management of this water body is very much required.Item Influence of Temperature on Survivorship and Growth Performance of Heteroclarias Fingerlings under Laboratory Conditions(Advance in Agriculture and Biology, 2014) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Ayanwale Adesola Victoria; Lamai Solomon Lambuda; Tsadu S. M; Falusi F. M; Baba B. MThe need for a beter understanding of the environmental factors that influence productivity of artificial culture of Heteroclarias fish species informed this study. To this end, the effects of different temperature levels, ranging from 27.00 - 32.00°C, on the survival and growth of the fish species was monitored over a period of 12 weeks, under laboratory conditions; following standard procedures. The results showed that temperature had no significant (P>0.05) effects on total and standard lengths (range = 8.16±0.28cm at 30.000C, to 8.68±0.40cm at 26.91°C; and 7.30±0.23 at 28.00/32.000C to7.63±0.67 at 26.910C, respectively). Body weight (BW), on the other hand, reduced significantly (P<0.05) with increasing water temperature (range = 190.55±31.50g at 26.91°C, to 154.37°C±15.25g at 32.00°C). Likewise, the indices of weight gain namely, Final Body Weight Gain and Percentage Weight Gain reduced significantly with increasing temperature. However, the mortality of the fishes was not significantly different (P>0.05) among the temperature-treatment groups. The findings of this study should aid the fine-tuning of field management protocols of Heterclarias artificial culture for optimum productivity.Item Assessment of Physico-Chemical Parameters of River Sabon Dagah, Minna, Niger State(Biological and Environmental Sciences Journal for the Tropics, 2024-04) Kolo Reuben Jiya; Amesa V. S.; Babalola O. J.; Adeniyi N. O.The study on the assessment of the physico-chemical parameters of Sabon Dagah River Minna, Niger State, was carried out from May to September, 2019 with the aim of determining the physical and chemical parameters of Sabon Dagah River and also to identify the fish that may be present in the river. Four sampling stations were selected, namely: Upstream (Station 1), before the bridge (Station 2), after the bridge (Station 3) and downstream (Station 4). The physico-chemical parameters were determined using standard methods, procedures and techniques. The results obtained showed the results of the measured parameters water temperature (26.35±0.20°C to 28.33±0.08°C), pH (6.52±0.05 to 9.08±0.10), conductivity (118.0±1.32 μs/cm to 195.75±0.76 μs/cm), total alkalinity (3.65±0.25 mg/L to 25.5±0.42 mg/L), total hardness (64.5±1.18 mg/L to 34.9±2.31 mg/L), chloride (8.32±0.28 mg/L to 11.21±0.32 mg/L), calcium (6.30±0.75 mg/L to 22.15±0.65 mg/L), CO2 (0.75±0.04 mg/L to 3.41±0.31 mg/L), total dissolved solids (51.84±1.18 mg/L to 125.28±0.46). The assessment of River Sabon Dagah's water quality revealed variations among sampling stations and months. While some parameters met WHO standards, others, like dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand, indicated potential pollution sources such as agricultural runoff and industrial discharges. Conservation efforts and pollution control measures are vital to safeguard the river's health and freshwater resources in the region.
