Sylvanus anene Nwafili,

Abstract: Oreochromis nilotics is an important aquaculture species worldwide. Members of the tilapiine family hybridize easily in nature. The present study was conducted to examine the morphometric and meristic characteristics of Oreochromis niloticus from New Calabar River and a putative hybrid called Wesafu found in Epe Laggon. The study was based on the hypothesis that the tilapia hybrid will possess traits which will be intermediate to those of O. niloticus. A total of 24 morphometric measurements and 8 meristic cou… Show more
