Fifty‐six days feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of Cirina butyrospermi caterpillar meal (CBM) as protein source in replacement of fish meal (FM) for Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. Six hundred African catfish (initial mean weight = 2.42 ± 0.01 g) were fed with four approximate isonitrogenous (48.97% crude protein), isolipidic (15.85% crude lipid) and isocaloric (21.10 kJg−1) formulated diets, in which CBM progressively replaced FM at 0 (D1), 50 (D2), 75 (D3), 100% (D4) levels. At the end of the trial period, the best growth performance and nutritional utilization were observed in the group of fish fed with D2 and was not significantly different from those fed with D1 (the control diet). The survival rates, which ranged from 85.33% to 90.33%, were not significantly different among fish from the four diet treatments. The proximate whole‐body composition of C. gariepinus fingerlings fed the different diets showed similar moisture and protein contents. However, in contrary to ash which decreased, whole‐body lipid increased significantly when fish fed with diet containing CBM inclusion superior or equal to 75% (D3 and D4). The higher gross profit was obtained with D2 (16.73$), while the lowest was observed with D4 (10.16$). This study demonstrates that 50% of fish meal can successfully be replaced with CBM in C. gariepinus fingerlings diet without a negative impact on growth or feed utilization. This will yield a cheaper feeding for profitable production of African catfish fingerlings.
I. COMPAORE et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 10(5): 2138-2150, 2016 2139 Comparative study of growth performance of a domesticated strain of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) and a wild strain of Clarias anguillaris (Linnaeus, 1758) ABSTRACTBoth species (Clarias gariepinus and C. anguillaris) subgenus Clarias (catfish) were identified among the fish fauna of Burkina Faso. Analysis of their structuring reported the prevalence of C. anguillaris. But for now, the latter species has not yet been the subject of domestication. The aim of this study is to assess the zootechnical performance of this species compared with domesticated strain of C. gariepinus. The study was conducted on 3 families of each species. Each family is obtained by crossing a male and a female. The fry, obtained through artificial reproduction, are divided into six (6) 50 liter aquariums, kept in closed circuit at 1 g individual mean weight. Two densities (2 to 4 fish / liter) were used in replicas. The fish are raised for 30 days. The results showed that in C. gariepinus the mean individual weight ranged between 35.37 and 42.18 g and the total length between 173.5 and 187.55 mm; feed conversion rate of 0.70 and 0.82; the survival rate of 47.87 to 66.62%. In C. anguillaris individual mean weight is between 11.68 and 29.13 g and the total length between 128.4 and 159.2 mm; the feed conversion ratio of 0.71 and 1.28 while the survival rate has fluctuated between 53 and 68.87%. These preliminary results show that C. anguillaris could have growth performance similar to those of C. gariepinus and could therefore be used in aquaculture.
Cette étude a concerné les pêcheries des localité de Sidi-Kompenga et de Sirba situées à l’Est du Burkina Faso et a eu pour objectif de faire l’état des lieux de la faune ichtyologique. L’échantillonnage s’est déroulé durant les périodes de crue et d’étiage. Des pêches expérimentales combinant plusieurs engins de pêche ont été menées sur six stations. Quatre paramètres physico-chimiques ont été mesurés : la température, le pH, la conductivité et la transparence. La richesse taxinomique ainsi que les indices de diversité de Shannon, d’équitabilité de Pielou et de Simpson ont été déterminés. Les températures moyennes étaient comprises entre 27,8 et 31,2 °C et entre 28,6 et 30,9 °C respectivement au niveau de Sidi-Kompenga et de la Sirba. Quant aux pH moyens, ils étaient compris entre 7,3 et 8,3 et entre 7,04 et 8,24 respectivement au niveau de SidiKompenga et de la Sirba. Quant à la faune ichtyologique, on a dénombré 29 espèces regroupées en 22 genres et 11 familles au niveau de Sidi-kompenga et 28 espèces regroupées en 23 genres et 11 familes au niveau de Sirba. Les indices de Shannon H’, d’équitabilité de Pielou et de Simpson calculés ont été respectivement 2,67 ; 0,79 et 0,90 à Sidikompenga et 2,66 ; 0,80 et 0,91 à Sirba. Les familles des Alestidea et des Mormyridea ont été les plus diversifiées avec chacune 6 espèces dont Sarotherodon galilaeus, Oreochromis niloticus et Coptodon zillii ont été les 3 espèces les plus courantes dans les captures. Les résultats montrent que les deux pêcheries présentent une population piscicole diversité.
Dans les écosystèmes aquatiques, la prédation des microalgues contribue à contrôler leur prolifération, susceptible de dégrader la qualité de l’eau. Cette étude détermine le rôle de Heterotis niloticus dans le biocontrôle de la qualité de l’eau. Les microalgues ont été collectées de novembre 2020 à janvier 2021 dans le lac de barrage de Samendeni au Burkina Faso. La longueur standard (Ls) de 100 individus de Heterotis niloticus a été mesurée et les bols alimentaires de 35 d’entre eux ont été échantillonnés. Dans le plan d’eau, 14 genres de phytoplanctons et 24 genres de périphytons ont été identifiés, avec des concentrations respectives de 616,67 à 38233,33 cellules/ml et 0,19 à 38,48 cellules/cm2 . L’analyse des bols alimentaires a permis d’identifier 25 genres de microalgues avec des concentrations de 24350,65 à 1485389,61 cellules/ml. Parmi ces microalgues, 20 genres ont été recensés dans le plan d’eau. Elles constituent selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé, des bioagresseurs de la qualité de l’eau. La comparaison des biomasses algales consommées par les individus des classes 260≤Ls1≤575 mm et 575≤Ls2≤950 mm, n’a pas montré de différence significative (p=0,12). Heterotis niloticus a un large spectre d’action sur les microalgues et contribue à contrôler leur prolifération dans les retenues d’eau à multiples usages. English title: Study of the grazing and filtering of the algal microflora by Heterotis niloticus (Cuvier, 1829) and biocontrol of the water quality of the hydro-agricultural dam lake of Samendeni in Burkina Faso In aquatic ecosystems, predation of microalgae helps to control their proliferation that could jeopardize the water quality. This study aimed at determining the role of Heterotis niloticus in the biocontrol of water quality. The microalgae were collected from November 2020 to January 2021 in the Samendeni dam lake. The standard length (Ls) of 100 individuals of H. niloticus was measured and the food bowl of 35 of them were sampled. In the water body, 14 genera of phytoplankton and 24 genera of periphyton were identified, with respective concentrations of 616.67 to 38,233.33 cells/ml and 0.19 to 38.48 cells/cm2 . The food bowl of Heterotis niloticus made it possible to identify 25 genera of microalgae with concentrations between 24,350.65 and 1,485,389.61 cells/ml. Among these microalgae, 20 genera have been identified in the watershed. These microalgae are, according to the World Health Organization, bioaggressors of water quality. The comparison of the diet according to the classes 260≤Ls1≤575 mm and 575≤Ls2≤950 mm, showed that there is no significant difference (p-value=0.12) between algal biomasses consumed by the individuals. Heterotis niloticus has a broad spectrum of action on microalgae and therefore can contribute to limit their proliferation in multipurpose water reservoirs.
