  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract Protein source is the single most expensive ingredient in feed production. The limitation of this important resource necessitated the need for sourcing for alternative and non-competing protein source especially from  Jatropha curcas  plants. This research thus, investigated the growth performance, survival and body compositions of  Clarias gariepinus  fingerlings (4.30±0.01g) fed five diets containing 40% crude protein and varying inclusion levels of detoxified  Jatropha curcas  meal (DJCM) at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement for fishmeal (FM). The results obtained indicated significant differences (P<0.05) for the growth parameters, survival and biological values evaluated. Diet 1 (0% DJCM and 100%FM) gave the best growth parameters in terms of Mean weight gain (10.53±1.95), Food Conversion Ratio (2.73±0.55), Specific Growth Rate (2.19±0.23) and survival rate (73.33±10.41) followe...

Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract The work analyzed the role of simulators and technical laboratories in influencing curriculum development strategies of West Africa's maritime educational sector. The application of IMO's STCW requirements on simulator based education were also analyzed in juxtaposition with the educational programmes in the higher education maritime programmes of West African institutions. Development knowledge gaps were identified and recommendations made accordingly. The gains of implementing a port simulator training programme for the region's expanding port sector were emphasized. The focus of the work remains creation of officers with shorter sea time exposure during training. Keywords:  Port development; Marine technology; Marine transportation Entrepreneurial education; Ship simulator based training Go to Introduction West Africa's port sector deserve a closer attention owing to recent developments in th...
