Potential mechanism of sound production in Oreochromis niloticus (Cichlidae).

Parasites of native Cichlidae populations and invasive Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) in tributary of Amazonas River (Brazil) Parasitos de populações de Cichlidae nativos e invasora Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) em tributário do Rio Amazonas (Brasil)

This study provides the first investigation on acquisition of parasites in invasive O. niloticus by parasite species of native Cichlidae from the Igarapé Fortaleza basin, Northern Brazil. There were examined 576 specimens of 16 species of native cichlids and invasive O. niloticus collected in the main channel and the floodplain area of this tributary of Amazon River. The invasive O. niloticus w...

مروری بر سیکلیدماهیان (Actinopterygii: Cichlidae) آب‌های داخلی ایران به همراه اولین گزارش از حضور تیلاپیای نیل Oreochromis niloticus

مطالعه­ ی حاضر با هدف مروری بر وضعیت و پراکنش اعضای خانواده سیکلیدماهیان (Cichlidae) در آب­های داخلی ایران، به همراه اولین گزارش از حضور تیلاپیای نیل Oreochromis niloticus صورت گرفت. پس از نمونه ­برداری­ های میدانی، بررسی نمونه ­های موزه­ای و مرور مطالعات صورت گرفته بر روی اعضای این خانواده در ایران، حضور شش گونه در چهار جنس شامل  Amatitlania  nigrofasciata(حوضه آبریز نمک)،  Coptodon zillii (حو...

The Use of Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Markers in Sex Discrimination in Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Pisces: Cichlidae)

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were successfully used in discrimination of sexes in Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) using linear discriminant function analysis. The results provide support for the view that major genetical sex determining factors exist in tilapia.

Behaviours Associated with Acoustic Communication in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

BACKGROUND Sound production is widespread among fishes and accompanies many social interactions. The literature reports twenty-nine cichlid species known to produce sounds during aggressive and courtship displays, but the precise range in behavioural contexts is unclear. This study aims to describe the various Oreochromis niloticus behaviours that are associated with sound production in order t...
