Abstract:Studies on fish biology are important because they help determine the best management strategy to use in order to conserve fish species in their natural habitat. Thus, some aspects of the Biology of Sarotherodon melanotheron and Tilapia guineensis in the Mahin Lagoon were covered in this study. For the study, 121 fish samples were collected. The sex ratio of S. melanotheron (1:1.64) and T. guineensis (1:1.36) showed no significant deviation from the expected 1:1. Fecundity ranged from 243 to 1223 in S. melanot… Show more
