Abstract:
Length-weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (k) of the black chin tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron (Rüppel, 1852) from Forcados River estuary Nigeria was investigated. The fish were collected monthly from fishermen for a period of 24 months (between April 2012 and March 2014). 699 specimens of the fish species were collected.

Abstract:
The baseline study profiled Black-chin Tilapia (Sarotherodon. melanotheron), a fish farm pest species in Bataan, Philippines, in terms of yield (processing and fillet), proximate composition (moisture, ash, crude fat, and crude protein), heavy metal load (cadmium [Cd], lead [Pb], arsenic [As], and mercury [Hg]), and microbial count (aerobic plate, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus counts)....

Abstract: Alterations in blood variables of Sarotherodon melanotheron transmitted immediately from brackish water (salinity 13.71‰) to fresh water (salinity 0.12‰) were examined to evaluate the consequence of abrupt alterations in the environment on fish blood parameters. The results acquired revealed that significant reduction (p < 0.05) in mean values of Haemoglobin (Hb) from 7.37±1.22 to 4.30±0.82dl-1;... More
