  Abstract:

  This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary replacement of

  maize with sweet potato peel in the diet of Clarias gariepinus juveniles.

  The levels of the SPP inclusion in the experimental diets were 0%, 25%,

  50%, 75% and 100%. All the diets were iso-nitrogenous. One hundred and

  fifty (150) C. gariepinus juveniles (33 g ~ 35... More

  Abstract:

  Restoration ecologists recognize the need for restoring ecosystem services

  in sustainable ways that meet societal needs. In the UK, Ireland, Australia,

  and some US states the goal is restoring native oyster reefs. In other

  states, failures at restoration due to poor water quality and predation have

  focused restoration activities on techniques that work, restoring intertidal

  reefs and generating living shorelines... More
