247Clarias gariepinus. (Viveen et al., 1986) was usedin the identification of the fish specimens. Thespecimens were later killed, gutted anddecapitated. The carcasses were cut into smallpieces, washed thoroughly with water andimmersed in 20% saline solution for 10 minutes inaccordance with the methods specified by Horn(1974). The immersion in salt solution was toreduce the water activity (A w ) in the specimensand retard microbial development. They weresubsequently smoked over a smoking kiln for 48hours at 87 0 C, packed into small polythene bagsand kept in the Research Laboratory of EnuguState University of Science and Technology,Enugu.Collection of D. maculatus: D. maculatus wereobtained from 10kg of heavily infested dried C.gariepinus purchased from fish sellers at Enugumain market, Enugu, Nigeria. The larval and adultstages of this pest were disengaged from thetissues and placed in 21 clean reagent bottles(500ml) with perforated covers. In the laboratory,the pests were placed in another set of 21 cleanreagent bottles (50ml) whose open ends werecovered with mosquito-mesh nets.Infestation of C. gariepinus with D.maculatus: The study was designed to havesmoked pieces of C. gariepinus (0.50 kg)subjected to four treatment groups (A, B, C and D)of pest infestation. Group A represented thecontrol with no pest infestation, while groups B, Cand D represented low (LI), medium (MI) and high(HI) infestations of both the adult and larvalstages of D. maculatus. Both the control (A) andthe pest infested treatments (B, C and D) werereplicated thrice to give a total of 21experimental replicates.Smoked pieces of C. gariepinus (10.50 kg)were measured out with a chemical balance andrandomly placed in 21 clean reagent bottles (500ml) at 0.50 kg of fish per bottle. Fish samplescontained in 3 bottles under group B were infestedwith 5 adult D. maculatus while the remaining 3bottles (under the same group) were infested with5 larval pests. This level of infestation wasregarded as low infestation (LI). Fish samplesunder group C were infested with 10 adult pests (3bottles) and 10 larval pests (3 bottles) and thiswas also regarded as medium infestation (MI).Fish samples in group D were infested with 15adult pests (3 bottles) and 15 larval pests (3bottles) regarded as high infestation (HI). Group Afish samples (3 bottles) were uninfested andserved as the control. Each group of bottles withinfested fish samples was appropriately labelledaccording to treatment and left for investigationfor 56 days.Fish samples from each bottle weredisengaged from larval and adult pests every 2weeks (14 days), weighed and analysed chemicallyfor crude protein (AOAC, 1995), free fatty acid(Marinetti,1967) and pH using a pH meter.Chemical Analysis: Fat contents of fish sampleswere extracted by Bligh and Dyer (1959) method.The fatty acids were determined by gas-lipidchromatography (GLC) through esterification byrefluxing in 4% sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) andmethylation with methyl-hydroxide (MeOH) for 16hat 79 0 C (Marinetti, 1967). Complete esterificationwas confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC)on silica gel G plates using a solution of petroleumether, diethyl ether, and acetic acid (90:10:1) assolvent system.Total nitrogen was measured by microkjeldahlmethod and the crude protein contentdetermined by multiplying by 6.25 (AOAC, 1995).The pH was determined with a pH meterimmersed in a suspension of finely ground fishsamples. All the data obtained were subjected toanalysis of variance to determine the levels ofsignificance (Steel and Torrie, 1990).RESULTSThe crude protein (CP) content of C. gariepinusexposed to larvae of D. maculatus decreasedconsistently from a pre-infestation protein value of78.52% to a least value of 45.23 % (Table 1). Thisresult varied with smoked fish sample exposed toadult pest and whose crude protein contentdecreased from 78.52 % to 38.10 % within 8weeks (56 days) experimental period. The least CPcontent was found in the control experiment after8 weeks (56 days). This was compared to the leastCP value (45.23 %) for high larval infestation (HI)and 53.61 % for medium larval infestation (MI)(Table 1). There was no significant difference F(4,8) = 1.36 (P > 0.5) in the CP content betweenvarious levels of larval infestation. However, therewas a significant difference F (4, 8) = 9.84 (P
