Overview of Length-Weight Relationship, Condition Factor and Size at First Maturity of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.) in Different Water Bodies of Ethiopia: A Review

Abstract: Length-weight relationship, condition factor and size at first maturity of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.) in different water bodies of Ethiopia have indicated that nearly isometric (b≈3) growth pattern. The Fulton condition factor (K) of O. niloticus was higher in Lake Chamo (2.35) and in Baro River (2.05) than in Gilgel Gibe Reservoir (1.87) and in Lake Langano (1.77). However, it was lowest in Lake Beseka (0.05). Size at first maturity (L50) of O. niloticus was high (42.0 cm TL) for both sexes in La… Show more

“…This phenomenon is locally known as "tubo belerang" and might cause the lake categorized as a poor-nutrient lake, as reported by Edyanto (2006). Tesfahun (2018) stated the size at first maturity of O. niloticus was correlated with availability of food, feeding rate, gonad development, spawning period, water quality parameters can determine the growth rate and the condition of fish and therefore, proper management of this fish stock for sustainable fishery is critical. Lagler et al (1977) stated that external factors like temperature and water current and internal factors such as type of species, age, size, and physiological characteristics, are positively related to the reproduction capacity.…”

“…Size at first maturity is commonly evaluated for wild populations as a point of biological reference to ensure that a sufficient number of juveniles reaches maturity (Roa et al, 1999) because only fishing the individuals which have reached maturity is one of the basic rules that should be followed to ensure sustainability (Ilkyaz et al, 2018). It has been utilized in various exploited animals, such as crustaceans (Peixoto et al, 2018), fish populations (Tesfahun, 2018), and mollusks (Galimany et al, 2015), to protect juveniles, let them grow into adults, and spawn at least once before being caught. Proper estimation of size at first maturity is very useful for fish stock management (Karna & Panda, 2011).…”

“…Aspek biologi yaitu pola pertumbuhan, parameter populasi dan Lm merupakan dasar dalam pengelolaan sumberdaya ikan yang berkelanjutan (Gomez-Marquez et al, 2008). Nilai Lm ikan nila di Waduk Jatiluhur hampir sama dengan ikan nila di Waduk Ziway dan Fincha yaitu 18,8 dan 24,5 (Tesfahun, 2018) namun lebih besar jika dibandingkan dengan Danau Abu-zabal, Mesir yaitu 10,5 dan 11,5 cm untuk ikan betina dan jantan (Shalloof dan Salama, 2008). Penetapan ukuran ikan boleh ditangkap lebih besar dari nilai L m dapat meningkatkan produksi perikanan dan biomassa ikan nila di Danau Victoria (Njiru et al, 2008).…”
