Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the fish fauna composition, abundance and distribution of Forcados river estuary. The monthly fish samples were collected for 24 months between April, 2016 and March, 2018, by using dragnet of stretched mesh sizes 6 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm, gill net and hand net through the services of motorised local artisanal fishers. A total of twelve thousand seven hundred and eighty fishes belonging to 18 families, 27 genera and 34 species were collected. Artisanal fishers should be educated on the importance of sustainable fishing practice to encourage the conservation of fishes in the estuary.
