	SYMPOSIUM ON RIVER AND FLOODPLAIN FISHERIES IN AFRICA/SYMPOSIUM SUR LA PECHE EN RIVIERES ET EN PLAINES D'INONDATION EN ...

		In general it is possible to state that in Lokoja the Centropomidae was the most abundant fish family, while in Jebba it was the Characidae.
		Thus the effects of the closure of the dam on Lokoja fishery are not expected to be as severe as in the case of Jebba and Pategi and it would appear that decrease in fish yields in this area is partly as a result of reduced fishing effort rather than availability of fishable stock.
