چکیده
Lipid composition of Heterotis niloticus, Brycenus nurse, Gnathonemus cyprinoides and Sarotherodon galilaeus, which vary in scale thickness, were studied. Heterotis niloticus (very thick scales) had the lowest lipid content (13%), while G. cyprinoids (light scales) had the highest lipid content (26%). The common neutral lipids were cholesterol, free fatty acids and cholesterol esters, while diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl glycerol and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were the most predominant phospholipids.

Observations on the Composition, Physiological Condition and Fisheries in Erinle Lake, Osun State, Nigeria
The level of fish production in Nigeria is far less than the current fish demand. The study, therefore, on fish composition and fishing activities in Erinle Lake is meant to suggest means of bridging the gap between fish supply and demand in the country. Fish samples were obtained from gill-net, cast net and traps. Ten families of fish comprising 19 species were identified, dominated by Cichlid...
متن کاملCondition Factor, Gonadosomatic Index and Sex Ratio of the Family Mormyridae from a Small Lake in Ilorin, Nigeria
Condition factor, gonadosomatic index, sex ratio and length weight relationship of Mormyrus rume, Mormyrus hasselquisti, Gnothonemus cyprinoides, Gnathonemus senegalensis and Petrocephalus bane ansorgei (Mormyridae) from Asa Lake, Ilorin, Nigeria were studied. The results showed that the condition factor range were 0.57-1.12, 0.64-1.22, 0.46-0.98, 0.66-1.18 and 0.86-1.28 in G. senegalensis, G. ...
متن کاملReproductive strategies of the Cichlids in a small reservoir in Ilorin, Nigeria
The reproductive strategies of Cichlids: Hemichromis fasciatus, Oreochromis niloticus, Sarotherodon galilaeus and Tilapia zillii was studied from June, 2007 to December, 2008. The variability in egg –size (i.e. diameter) were measured using the micrometer eye-piece in a binocular microscope. Fecundity was estimated by direct enumeration and related to the fish species population. The sex ratio ...

This paper provides information on the diets of Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon galilaeus in Ero reservoir. Fish species were procured from fishermen every fortnight using gill nets, cast nets, traps, hooks and lines. Specimens were chilled with iced blocks at the point of collection and transported to the laboratory. 494 fish specimens were examined and their stomach contents analyzed. ...

An investigation into the food and feeding ecology of the cichlid, Sarotherodon galilaeus multifasciatus in a tropical meteoritic lake in Ghana was undertaken. Stomachs of the fishes, at two length classes, representing adults and juveniles, were examined and the food items identified. The juveniles of Sarotherodon galilaeus multifasciatus feed mainly on insect and insect larvae and relatively ...
