Abstract: Seasonal numerical abundance and determination of size distribution
of B. docmac in Lake Akata was conducted between May, 2008 and April,
2009. The result revealed that B. docmac was most numerous (14.7%) in
November and also well represented in December (14.4%) and February (17.9%)
but had low percentage abundance in June (9.7%) and July (7.3%). Details of
species abundance show that B. docmac constituted 13.2%. B. docmac
are fairly common throughout the year. The monthly mean sizes of B. docmac
showed that the highest monthly mean standard length (31.00±3.00 cm) and mean
weight (475.0±8.6 g) were obtained in the month of October, respectively.
