Environmental influences on fecundity of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) in selected coastal lagoons of Ghana, West Africa
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the environmental influences on the fecundity of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) in selected coastal lagoons of Ghana, West Africa. The lagoons investigated were Domunli lagoon, Fosu lagoon, Benya lagoon, Sakumono lagoon and Keta lagoon. The investigations were carried out from March to May, 2022. The dataset contains: 1. The morphometric information, gonad weight and fecundity of species from different lagoons. 2. metadata associated with the research

Impact of insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of Sarotherodon melanotheron
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of the insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron in Kakum Estuary on the Central coast of Ghana, West Africa. The dataset contains: 1. The number of fish showing abnormal growth development after exposure to the insecticide; Abnormal growths were assumed when the specimen showed any of the following: pericardial odema, stunting and curved tails. 2. metadata associated with the research

Impact of insecticide (imidacloprid) on the length at first hatch of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron)
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of the insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron collected from the Kakum Estuary on the Central coast of Ghana, West Africa. Lengths of larvae hatched from eggs produced by the fish after exposure to the insecticide were accessed in the laboratory. The dataset contains: 1. The length at the first hatch of blackchin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) after exposure to the insecticide for 24 hours 2. metadata associated with the research

This data reports the type and photochemical characteristics of microplastic found in two fish species (Illisha fish and Sardinella sp) and seawater samples from four stations ( Denu, Tema, Cape Coast and Sekondi) along the coast of Ghana, West Africa. Samples were collected in September 2021. The dataset contains: 1. the types and photochemical characteristics of microplastics 2. metadata associated with the research

Morphometry of blackchin tilapia, sarotherodon melanotheron exposed to different concentrations of insecticide (imidacloprid)
This data was collected as part of an MPhil research aimed at assessing the impact of the insecticide (imidacloprid) on the development of blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron in Kakum Estuary on the Central coast of Ghana, West Africa. The study collected fish specimen from the field and run an exposure test in the laboratory. The dataset contains: 1. The morphometry of fish specimens after exposure to the insecticide for 24 hours 2. The datasets also contain the total length, liver weight, body weight, gonad weight and sex of fish specimens studied 3. metadata associated with the research
