Hybridization among littoral cichlid species in Lake Tanganyika was inferred in several molecular phylogenetic studies. The phenomenon is generally attributed to the lake level-induced shoreline and habitat changes. These allow for allopatric divergence of geographically fragmented populations alternating with locally restricted secondary contact and introgression between incompletely isolated taxa. In contrast, the deepwater habitat is characterized by weak geographic structure and a high potential for gene flow, which may explain the lower species richness of deepwater than littoral lineages. For the same reason, divergent deepwater lineages should have evolved strong intrinsic reproductive isolation already in the incipient stages of diversification, and, consequently, hybridization among established lineages should have been less frequent than in littoral lineages. We test this hypothesis in the endemic Lake Tanganyika deepwater cichlid tribe Bathybatini by comparing phylogenetic trees of Hemibates and Bathybates species obtained with nuclear multilocus AFLP data with a phylogeny based on mitochondrial sequences.

Accepted 12 March, 2013 Five isoenergetic semi-purified diets were formulated to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein levels on growth and feed utilization of snakehead, Parachanna obscura (4.08 ± 0.07 g). Experimental diets were formulated to contain graded levels of crude protein (CP; 30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 g/100 g of diet). Fish feed on the tested diet in triplicate for 45 days. Seventy fingerlings were stocked per a 225 L cement tank. Growth performances and nutrient utilization parameters of fingerlings fed different diets varied significantly (P < 0.05) and the highest growth performance and nutrient utilization were obtained with fish fed on a 50% CP diet. The relationship between the dietary CP and specific growth rate (SGR) indicated that protein requirements of P.

  • A Review of On-Farm Feed Management Practices for North African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus) in Sub-Saharan Africa
    463 A review of on-farm feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa Thomas Hecht1 Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science Rhodes University, Grahamstown South Africa Hecht, T. 2013. A review of on-farm feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa. In M.R. Hasan and M.B. New, eds. On-farm feeding and feed management in aquaculture. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 583. Rome, FAO. pp. 463–479. ABSTRACT This review considers feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa. Clariid catfish production in the subcontinent is increasing exponentially, particularly in Uganda. Semi-intensive pond culture is still the most prevalent production system, while intensive tank culture is becoming more popular in peri-urban areas in Nigeria. Total production in these two countries now exceeds 178 000 tonnes annually. Catfish are now commonly spawned and their larvae reared in hatcheries for ten to 14 days, after which they are reared in nursery ponds or in tanks. Extensive rearing of larvae, after yolk sac absorption, in ponds is now less often practiced than in the past. Where it is still practiced, successful larval rearing and satisfactory survival rates depend mainly on adequate fertilization schedules. Feed management practices in hatcheries are closely matched with the physiological and endocrinological ontogeny of the fish. For optimal survival and growth, live food (mainly Artemia) is required for the first five days after the start of exogenous feeding, after which the fish can be weaned onto a dry starter feed.

  • FOOD and FEEDING HABITS of BAY AD FISH BAGRUS BAJAD (FORSSKAL, 1775) in El-NOZHA HYDRODROME, ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT
    Egypt. J. Aquat. Bio!. & Fish.. Vol. 7, No.3: 197- 211 (2003) ISSN 1110- 6131 FOOD AND FEEDING HABITS OF BAY AD FISH BAGRUS BAJAD (FORSSKAL, 1775) IN El-NOZHA HYDRODROME, ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT Shnoudy A. Bakhoum and Samir. N. Faltas National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Alexandria. Egypt Key words: Bagrus bajed, food, feeding habits, El-Nozha Hydrodrome ABSTRACT n order to elucidate the food and feeding habits of Bagrus bajed Ifish, stomach contents of 188 specimens with total body length ranging from 22 to 71cm were examined. Samples were collected monthly during the period from July 2000 to December 2001 from the commercial catch of El-Nozha Hydrodrome. The results of relative gut index indicated that B. bajed is carnivore. The range of its food material is wide, including cichiid species (Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis aureus, Sarotherodon galilaeus and Tilapia zillii), mullets ( Mugil cephalus and Liza ramada ), Clarias garlepinus, fish eggs, amphipods (Corophium volutator), shrimps ( Leander serratus) , aquatic insects (chironomid larvae and Coleoptera), vegetable matter and detritus. The maximum feeding intensity was in spring, while the lowest was in winter. Seasonal variation in the diet composition of B bajed revealed that fish prey was the main food item eaten throughout the year except in spring, where it represents the second important food item- after crustaceans. Variation in food species with fish length revealed an increase in the percentage of fish prey in the diet of this species. The diversity in diet of B. bajed, revealed low values in spring increasing in autumn and winter to reach the maximum in summer.

  • Towards a Regional Information Base for Lake Tanganyika Research
    RESEARCH FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FISHERIES ON LAKE GCP/RAF/271/FIN-TD/Ol(En) TANGANYIKA GCP/RAF/271/FIN-TD/01 (En) January 1992 TOWARDS A REGIONAL INFORMATION BASE FOR LAKE TANGANYIKA RESEARCH by J. Eric Reynolds FINNISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Bujumbura, January 1992 The conclusions and recommendations given in this and other reports in the Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika Project series are those considered appropriate at the time of preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the Project. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of FAO or FINNIDA concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area, or concerning the determination of its frontiers or boundaries. PREFACE The Research for the Management of the Fisheries on Lake Tanganyika project (Tanganyika Research) became fully operational in January 1992. It is executed by the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Finnish International Development Agency (FINNIDA). This project aims at the determination of the biological basis for fish production on Lake Tanganyika, in order to permit the formulation of a coherent lake-wide fisheries management policy for the four riparian States (Burundi, Tanzania, Zaïre and Zambia). Particular attention will be also given to the reinforcement of the skills and physical facilities of the fisheries research units in all four beneficiary countries as well as to the buildup of effective coordination mechanisms to ensure full collaboration between the Governments concerned.

    Heredity 80 (1998) 702–714 Received 3 June 1997 Phylogeny of African cichlid fishes as revealed by molecular markers WERNER E. MAYER*, HERBERT TICHY & JAN KLEIN Max-Planck-Institut f¨ur Biologie, Abteilung Immungenetik, Corrensstr. 42, D-72076 T¨ubingen, Germany The species flocks of cichlid fish in the three great East African Lakes, Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika, have arisen in each lake by explosive adaptive radiation. Various questions concerning their phylogeny have not yet been answered. In particular, the identity of the ancestral founder species and the monophyletic origin of the haplochromine cichlids from the East African lakes have not been established conclusively. In the present study, we used the anonymous nuclear DNA marker DXTU1 as a step towards answering these questions. A 280 bp-fragment of the DXTU1 locus was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction from East African lacustrine species, the East African riverine cichlid species Haplochromis bloyeti, H. burtoni and H. sparsidens, and other African cichlids. Sequencing revealed several indels and substitutions that were used as cladistically informative markers to support a phylogenetic tree constructed by the neighbor-joining method. The topology, although not supported by high bootstrap values, corresponds well to the geographical distribution and previous classifica- tion of the cichlids. Markers could be defined that: (i) differentiate East African from West African cichlids; (ii) distinguish the riverine and Lake Victoria/Malawi haplochromines from Lake Tanganyika cichlids; and (iii) indicate the existence of a monophyletic Lake Victoria cichlid superflock which includes haplochromines from satellite lakes and East African rivers. In order to resolve further the relationship of East African riverine and lacustrine species, mtDNA cytochrome b and control region segments were sequenced.
