Tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron is naturally adapted to both fresh and brackish environments. In order to improve its farming potential, this study evaluated the growth, survival and reproduc tive parameters of individuals from three lakes of southern Benin according to their sex and age at experimental fishing. During fry rearing and breeding, fish were fed with commercial feed granulated. The chlorophyll a concentration and the abundance of plankton were determined by molecular absorption spectrometry and under a light microscope respectively. Physico -chemical parameters were within acceptable limits for good survival and growth of S. melanotheron. Together with chlorophyll a, three phytoplankton species and five zooplankton species were also available in the rearing tanks. At the end of the experiment (90 days post nursery), most of the growth parameters did not vary significantly according to the waterway of origin and the sex. However, the a ge at experimental fishing influenced significantly most of the growth parameters. The individuals from Lake Nokoué and Lake Toho were characterized by higher body weight, total length, standard length, weight gain, average weight gain, daily weight gain, nutritive quotient, survival rate, net biomass, biomass per square meter while Grand-Popo Lagoon individuals were characterized by higher ccondition factor and a weak ponderal and linear specific growth rates. Overall, reproductive parameters were higher i n females than males. The majority of males were with empty testicles, while females with ova were expelled by manual pressure. S. melanotheron individuals from the considered lakes can be recommended for selective breeding program in fresh and brackish wa ters.

“…The blackchin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron belonging to the family Cichlidae is the most popular fish food which considered to be one of the most important fish for aquaculture (Ouattara et al, 2005) [34] . This fish species hold great promise in fish farming in Africa due to its wide geographical spread, high growth rate and it resistant to stress (Amoussou et al, 2016) [7] . It's very common in swamps lakes, rivers and lagoon in Côte d'Ivoire and it's the main fish fisherman catches (Adou et al, 2017a) [1] .…”

In this study the ecto and endoparasites infecting Sarotherodon melanotheron were investigated in Ebrie Lagoon between February 2019 and November 2019. A total of 108 randomly sampled Sarotherodon melanotheron was procured from fishermen and examined for parasites using standard parasitological methods. The parasites such as Monogenean Cichlidogyrus halinus, C. halli, C. acerbus and Scutogyrus minus), Myxosporea (Myxobolus beninensis, M. diamensis, M. nokouensis and M. sarotherodoni), Copepod (Ergasilus latus and E. sp), Acanthocephalan (Acanthogyrus tilapiae), Nematode (Eustrongylides sp) and the Trematoda (Clinostomum tilapiae and Euclinostomum heterostomum) were recorded. Gill and intestine were respectively the more and the least infected organ by parasites. The intensity of Monogenean, Copepod and Acanthocephalan were positively increased with host body size. In Contrast, the intensity of Myxosporean, Nematode and Trematode did not increase with host standard length. Monogenean and Copepod were more concentrated in male hosts and Myxosporean in female fish. However, no influence of host sex on parasitism level was observed for population of Acanthocephalan, Nematode and Trematode. This could enable the use of appropriate methods to fight against these pathogens, especially in intensive fish farming.

The Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus is a fast growing fish and has a great importance for fisheries, aquaculture, and screen aquarium in Côte d’Ivoire. Parasitic infections constitute significant economic loss in fish production. The work based on Epidemiology of gill Monogenean parasites of O. niloticus from the Agneby River between August to December 2020, for the first time, was aimed to characterize the physicochemical parameters of this River, to inventory the gill Monogenean species in Nile tilapia, to analyze the parasitism as a function study areas and to highlight the parasite species’ distribution on the gill. A total of 102 specimens of fishes was sampled and examined for parasites. Gill helminthofauna of this fish consisted of Cichlidogyrus cirratus, C. tilapiae, C. halli and Scutogyrus longicornis. Fishes of the Agneby River at Agboville are more infested than the other ones due to environmental conditions. The examination of the two sides of the fish revealed that parasites species have the same affinity for the both sides of the fish. In contrast, at the level of the gill arch, these parasites preferred median gill arches (arches II and III).
