Assessment of Fish Biodiversity in Oni River, Ogun State, Nigeria
For the purpose of sustainable exploitation of the fishery resources of Oni River, Ogun State, Nigeria, the fish biodiversity assessment was carried out. This was conducted by enumerating and identifying fish species composition, measuring the fish length, fish weight, assessing the fish abundance and biomass, determining the length-weight relationships and the length-frequency of the fishes. A...
متن کاملCorrelation of gamma emitting radionuclides and radiological health hazards indices around Lancaster dam
Background: All human beings and living organisms are exposed to natural radiations on daily basis, which is mainly due to the activity concentration of primordial radionuclides 232Th, 238U and their products of decay together with the natural radionuclide 40K present in the earth’s crust. Materials and Methods: A total of 59 soil samples were collected around the banks and surroundings of the ...
متن کاملComparison of Indoor and Outdoor Dose Rates from Environmental Gamma Radiation in Kurdistan Province
Background & Aims: Studying about background radiation is important because human beings are continuously exposed to these radiations which leave energy in tissues and the transferred energy leads to undesirable biologic effects. The level of background radiation differs in indoor and outdoor places. Since, people spend more time indoors, in this research environmental gamma dose rate for indoo...
متن کاملEpidemiological evaluation of onchocerciasis along Ogun River System, southwest Nigeria.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Epidemiological studies were carried out to assess the prevalence and community microfilarial load (CMFL) of onchocerciasis after repeated annual treatment with ivermectin along Ogun river System, southwest Nigeria. METHOD Skin snips were taken from consented participants in 11 selected communities along the River system. The microfilarial load of the community was esti...
متن کاملIsodose mapping and its radiological implications in Lagos state, Nigeria
Background: The annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) due to ionizing radiation in a coaster area in Nigerian has been determined using Geiger-Muller counter. Materials and Methods: isolevels in the study area were represented by using the kriging interpolation technique on ArcGIS 10.1 software. Duncan multiple range test was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Res...
