Abstract

This study examines the food and feeding habits of Hydrocynus species in River Mayo Ranewo, Ardo-Kola Local Government Area, Taraba State, Nigeria. Hydrocynus, commonly referred to as tigerfish, is a predatory freshwater species of notable ecological and economic value. The research investigates dietary composition, length–weight relationship, and condition factor to better understand the species’ ecological role. Seventy-five specimens were obtained from local fishermen and analyzed in the laboratory. Stomach content analysis revealed seasonal dietary variation, with Tilapia and catfish as predominant prey items, supplemented by decayed fish and fish bones. The length–weight relationship showed a strong positive correlation (R² = 0.99997), indicating isometric growth, while the condition factor (K ≈ 1.20) suggested a healthy population. The results indicate that tigerfish adjust their feeding strategies according to prey availability and environmental conditions. These findings contribute valuable information for sustainable fisheries management and conservation planning, supporting both ecological stability and the economic viability of inland fisheries in Taraba State.

Abstract

Intestinal helminthic infections (IHIs) remain a major public health concern, particularly among school-aged children in resource-limited settings. This study examines the occurrence, risk factors, and socio-demographic determinants of IHIs among primary school children in Yorro and Zing Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Taraba State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 500 randomly selected pupils, and stool samples were analyzed using standard parasitological techniques. The overall prevalence of intestinal helminths was 75.7%, with Yorro LGA recording a higher rate (78.8%) than Zing LGA (72.7%). No statistically significant difference was observed between boys (76.4%) and girls (74.8%) (p > 0.05). The high prevalence underscores the urgent need for strengthened public health measures, including regular mass deworming, improved sanitation facilities, access to safe drinking water, and targeted health education for schoolchildren, parents, and teachers to reduce transmission and reinfection rates.
