Impact of seasonal variation on the nutrient content of some commercially important fish species from Lake Kainji, Nigeria
Six (6) Samples of commercially important freshwater fishes: Clarias anguillaris, Lates niloticus, Hemisynodontis membranaceus, Oreochromis niloticus, Citharinus cithrrus and Momyrus rume from Lake Kainji, Nigeria were analyzed during the dry and wet seasons to assess the variation in nutrient and mineral contents using standard procedures in wet weight basis. Result showed high nutrient content in both dry and wet samples. Mineral content were generally low except for Na and Ca among all the samples. Pb and Cd were not detected. Statistical analysis (P>0.05) showed no significant difference between dry and wet samples.
