Fisheries resources and developmental potentials of Usuma River in Gwagwalada, Abuja
A study on fisheries resources and developmental potentials of Usuma River in Gwagwalada, Ahuja was carried out between August and December, 2012 using standard methods and procedures. A total of sixteen (16) fish species belonging to nine (9) families were identified. The fish family Cichlidae was the most dominant by number representing 19.2% of the total catch. This was followed by the family Bagridae (17.5%) and family Cyprinidae (17.5%). There were more females than males which are an indication that with good monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) the production potential of the river will be high.
