    • 1.4                  RESEARCH QUESTIONS
      As a guide to finding solution to the research problem the research posed the following research questions.
      1.                 What are the effect of using toxic substance in fishing activities?
      2.                 Does environment changes have any impact on in-land  fisheries management?
      3.                 What type of management system does local fishermen proffered most?
      4.                 How does drought and dam construction effect  fish stocking?
      5.                 What time of the year does over concentration of fishermen occurs in water bodies?
      6.                 Is there any policy or programme regulating fishing activities?
      7.                 Why does over-exploitation occur in Nigerian fishery industries?
      1.5                  HYPOTHESIS FORMULAITON
      The following hypothesis forms the frame work for carrying out the study.
      H0:    Using toxic substance during fishing does not effect fish propagation
      H1:    Using toxic substance during fishing  effect fish propagation
      H0:    Traditional management of system is not the best and general acceptable
      management system in local community in fisheries management
      H1:    Traditional management of system is  the best and general acceptable
      management system in local community in fisheries management
      1.6                  SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
      It should be recognized that the fundamental issue as regards to fisheries management in  most cases is the allocation of scarce (natural) resource to alternate ends. For example in the case of water bodies which contains major in-land fisheries as population pressure and other stress increase the natural resources become increasingly scare and become valuable.  However because in many cases invitational management do not exist (or inadequate ) for the allocation of resource free and open access to increasingly valuable resources result inevitably in the degradation.
      As a result of this, this study become very important especially today that all hands are on deck to develop Nigerian economy. this study will be of immense benefit to both public sector organization and organized private sector in the fishery industries in addition the study will determine the factor limiting fish production in this sector of economy (fishing industries).  It is expected that the findings will help to rediscover the past abundant fish production in in-land water bodies in Nigeria.    
      1.7                  SCOPE OF THE STUDY
      The scope of this study is very wide if  it has to be carried out in all inland fisheries resource of Nigeria.  The study is limited based on the fact that there is no tome and material resources to see to the whole nation
