A review of topography in fish culture in Nigeria part four is aimed at providing more information
to the fish culturist basic principles to design and build fishponds, reservoirs and small dams and use existing
topographical maps. Whenever a line is not horizontal, it has a slope. The slope can be uphill or downhill. Its
sloppiness depends on the difference in height between its points. The slope of the ground affects the
measurement of distance. Ground slope is also very important is the design of fish farms, since it can reduce
the construction cost. Build bottom slopes on canals to allow effective drainage. Build slope in the dykes for
pond and dams . It is important the orientation vary according to the angle of slope so that there is a minimum
amount of earthwork. It is always best to provide a means of diverting excess water. Ponds on a slope, Layout
of ponds, Measurement of vertical angle and slope, Conversion of slope units in degrees or percentages,
Measurement and calculation of slope, Clinometer, Clisimeter, Optical Clinometer and Plump line are aspects
reviewed in this part.
Key words: Conversion of slope units, layout of ponds, pond slope, slope calculation, slope measurement instruments, vertical angles and slope measurement,
