Effect of Three Diets on Growth and Survival Rates of African Catfish Heterobranchus bidorsalis Larvae Yao Laurent Alla1*, Ble Melecony Célestin1, Atse Boua Célestin1, Kone Tidiani2 1 Centre de Recherches Océanologiques, BPV 18 Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire 2 Laboratoire d’Hydrobiologie, UFR Biosciences, Université de Cocody Abidjan, 22 BP 582 Abidjan 22, Côte d’Ivoire (Received 23.2.10, Accepted 14.4.10) Key words: Heterobranchus bidorsalis, growth, survival, Artemia salina, beef brain, formulated food Abstract Investigations are underway in the Centre de Recherches Océanologiques d’Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) to find whether the catfish (Heterobranchus bidorsalis) could be an interesting aquaculture species. Within this framework a 28-day aquarium culture feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of three diets (Artemia salina nauplii, beef brain enriched with vitamins, and a compound food) on the growth and survival rates in 2-day post hatch H. bidorsalis. The feeding experiments started after the yolk sac of the larvae was absorbed (initial mean weight = 2.03±0.38 mg). Larvae fed Artemia nauplii had a higher growth rate (final mean weight = 708.60±411.61 mg] than those fed beef brain (381.81±118.88 mg) or compound food (102.72±48.09 mg). Conversely, the beef brain diet yielded a better survival rate (70.47±9.48%) than the Artemia nauplii (38.72±7.74%) or the compound diet (5.37±2.24%).

Background. Ornamental freshwater fish releases constitute a remarkable proportion of the 100 worst invasive species worldwide. Early detection and knowledge of likely introduction vectors and pathways of potentially invasive fishes into sensitive habitats are key for their proper management, hence rapid and correct identification of their occurrence is crucial.

Zoology & Biological Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria-Nigeria *Correspondence: Tel.: +2348069675754, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study was designed to examine radiographically the morphological anomalies in artificially spawned 24-week- old Heterobranchus longifilis. A total of 22 morphological deformities observed from an F1 population of 4,871 were classified. Based on anatomical positions, most of the anomalies (49.99%) manifested in the bodies as stunted growth with a weight range of 240-358g, standard length (SL) of 18.7-29.1cm and stump body trait with a weight range of 445-810g, SL of 22.9-35.9cm. Anomalies of the vertebral column accounted for 27.27% with a weight range of 410-945g, SL of 27.4-36.8cm. Fin aberrations including agenesis were seen in 22.73% with a weight range of 548-840g, SL of 34.1-39.2cm. Radiographic examination revealed anomalies such as hypoplasia and hyperplasia of fins, supernumeracry and agenesis of fins, fin cleft, and fusion of fins, scoliosis and kyphosis.

Abstract The population structure and genetic diversities of Clarias gariepinus from the cultured population at Chi Farm (Ajanla) and wild population at Asejire Reservoir (Asejire) were analysed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and Microsatellite DNA markers. Using a CTAB protocol, genomic DNA was extracted from the caudal fins of 20 samples of live specimen collected from each population. Seven RAPD primers and seven pairs of microsatellite DNA primers were used to amplify different loci on the extracted genomic DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction and the resultant DNA fragments were analysed on agarose gel. The RAPD primers amplified a total of 474 loci with 697 bands in all samples for the seven primers studied.

  • African Sharptooth Catfish Clarias Gariepinus
    African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus 1 Taxonomy Species: Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Family: Clariidae Order: Siluriformes Class: Actinopterygii African sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus is a typical air-breathing catfish with a scaleless, bony elongated body with long dorsal and anal fins, and a helmet like head (Figure 1). Colour varies dorsally from dark to light brown and is often mottled with shades of olive and grey while the underside is a pale cream to white (Skelton 2001). It can grow very large with a maximum reported length of 170 cm (IGFA 2001) and weight of 60 kg (Robbins et al. 1991). Figure 1. Lateral view of Clarias gariepinus (Source: FAO 2012). The genus Clarias was reviewed in the 1980s, which resulted in several widespread species being synonymized (Clarias capensis of southern Africa, C. mossambicus of central Africa and C. lazera of west and north Africa) under the name Clarias gariepinus (Teugels 1986). 2 Natural distribution and habitat The native range of C. gariepinus covers most of the African continent, with the exception of Maghreb, Upper and Lower Guinea, and the Cape provinces of South Africa (Picker & Griffiths 2011) (Figure 2). According to Skelton (2001) it is probably the most widely distributed fish in Africa. Jubb (1967) describes its natural distribution as occurring as far south as the Orange River system in the west and the Umtamvuna River in the east of South Africa. Page | 1 C. gariepinus is widely tolerant of many different habitats, even the upper reaches of estuaries, but is considered to be a freshwater species. It favours floodplains, slow flowing rivers, lakes and dams (Skelton 2001).
