The identity of Schilbe intermedius in Jebba Lake, Nigeria
This study attempts to ascertain the identity of Schilbe intermedius (Family: Schilbeidae) in Jebba Lake using quantitative (mophometric and meristic) and qualitative (colour and shape) parameters that makes identification easier. One hundred (100) specimens were collected and used for the study. There was relationship between body weight and length of fish (a=0.039, b=2.332, r=5.96). The parameters are similar to description of other authors. There is also absence of adipose fin found in the species, which is due to the geographical location.
