Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of electrolyte on length and weight of Clarias gariepinus in commercial fish ponds in kuje and Gwagwalada. 90 blood samples were collected within the period from the 5th of March to the 10th of April, 2015. The sample was group into three, based on their weight and length. Group one ranging from 10-30cm in length and 180-270g in weight, Group two from 31- 50cm in length and 271-300g in weight, while Group three ranged from 51-60cm and 301-500grams. Each blood sample was taken to and tested for electrolyte. Empirical data of results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test for level of significance between the three groups of fishes. The mean value of sodium is 108.2, 126.91 and 126.87 for group 1, 2 and 3 respectively, the mean value of potassium is 3.78, 4.26 and 3.99 for group 1, 2 and 3 respectively, the mean value of chloride is 84.72, 85.47, and 85.22 for group 1, 2 and 3 respectively, at (p<0.05) level of significance. There was no significant difference between the three groups of fishes for sodium, potassium and chloride as they all fall under their normal range.
