The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity

The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity of drilling muds used at ologbo active onshore field, Edo State, Nigeria The effect of composition on the biodegradability and toxicity of two muds commonly used at onshore oil fields at Ologbo, Edo State were examined. Biodegradation of drill muds by two bacterial and fungal isolates; Enterobacter aerogenes, Micrococcus sp., Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. were carried in a shake flask experiment using mineral salts medium at 120 rpm for...

Spatial and circadian variation of aquatic insect communities in three tropical fish ponds (Natiokobadara, Korhogo, Northern Côte d’Ivoire)

We analysed aquatic insect distribution and their circadian variation in tropical fish ponds in a piscicultural farm used for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture near Natiokobadara locality  in the Northern Côte d’Ivoire. Among  ponds  of  this  farm,  three  were  selected:  a  pond  (D4)  without  fish,  a  pond  (A3)  stocking  with  7500 fingerlings and pond (T12) of reproducers containing 680 parents.  In each pond, aquatic insect...
