ABSTRACT Anatomical studies of Acalypha wilkesiana were carried out using standard epidermal procedure. Upper surface (Adexial) and lower surface (Abaxial), showed the following features which includes; Anisocytic stomata, undulate anticlinal wall pattern and the epidermal call shapes is irregular to polygonal. The trichome is absent on both adaxial and abaxial. The stomata distribution is hypostomatic…
ABSTRACTS Analysis for bio-accumulation factor to know the absorption rate of certain trace metals from sediment to shell of Littorina littorea in Ayedeghe Beach. Sediment sample showed the sequence: Mg (27.07mg/kg) > Zn (10.99mg/kg) > Pb (3.21mg/kg) > (3.01mg/kg) > Cr (ND); the value for shell sample were Zn (2.3mg/kg) > Pb (0.78mg/kg) > Mg…
ABSTRACT This study was aimed at estimating the heavy metal composition of water form Qua Iboe River. The sample was collected from the study area and standard analytical method were used in carrying out the analysis.

ABSTRACT Heavy metals bioaccumulation in vertebrae and tissue flesh of Atlantic mackerel (Scombia scombrus) were investigate with standard analytical procedures. The vertebral bone recorded Lead (Pb) (0.016 ± 0.002), Cadmium (Cd) (<0.001 ± 0.000), Nickel (Ni) (0.035 ± 0.002), Chromium (Cr) (0.05 ± 0.002), and Zinc (Zn) (0.153 ± 0.002). The tissue flesh revealed for…
ABSTRACTS The length-weight relationship and condition factor Mormyrus rume from Itak Nyanyangha landing site along Cross River, Itu Akwa Ibom State, was conducted on the month of (September 2019). A total of thirty eight (38) fish samples were bought. The length-weight relationship and condition factor (K) were determined using the equation W= alb and K…
ABSTRACT Antimitotic effect of water yam leaves extract using ethanol and aqueous as extractants at different concentration on post-harvest pathogenic fungi woe investigated. Pathogenicity test revealed that fusarium oxysponim, Rhizopus stotonifer, Bacillus subtilis, and Aspergillums niger were the causal organism of deteriorations in the white yam tuber. Ethanol was more effective than aqueous extract in…

To achieve the objective of this study, the study made used of survey research design. Taro Yamane formular was used to determine the sample size of 30 from the population…
ABSTRACT This study was aim at determining the proximate composition of Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit. The sample was collected from a local market (Urua Ator) in Ikot Ekpene L.G.A., and standard analytical methods were used to analyze the samples. The result of the study revealed the following; Moisture (20.52±0.05%), Ash (15.20±0.07%), crude fibre (20.95±0.15%), crude fat…
ABSTRACT The proximate analysis of Tetrapluera tetraptera was carried out using standard procedure and the result of the analysis revealed the following, moisture 83.75±2.12, ash 12.75±2.12, crude protein 12.25±1.77, crude fibre 20.28±0.78, crude fat 5.57±0.65, carbohydrate 48.61±1.40, caloric value 29.53±5.24. the above result indicate that Tetrapluera tetraptera fruit is a good source of nutrient and…
ABSTRACT The proximate analysis of Mucuna pruriens was analysed using the method of AOAC (1980). The caloric value was calculated from crude protein, crude fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate, moisture and ash content. The result shows that mucuna pruriens contain moisture 12.31±0.85, ash 31.09±0.127, crude fibre 11.69±0.092, crude fat 18.09±0.120, crude protein 2.20±0.040, carbohydrate 65.10±0.020. This…
