EVOLUTION DES PARAMETRES ZOOTECHNIQUES DE LA CARPE ARGENTEE (HYPOPHTHALMICHTHYS MOLITRIX) ELEVEE SOUS CLIMAT SEMI-ARIDE A LA STATION DE PISCICULTURE DEROUA, MAROC.
Le taux de croissance de la carpe argentĂ©e (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) reproduite artificiellement Ă la Station de Pisciculture de la Deroua (Maroc) depuis le dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1990 varie en fonction des tempĂ©ratures (saisons) et du mode dâĂ©levage (monoculture ou polyculture). Le coefficient de condition, toujours supĂ©rieur Ă 1, montre que cette espĂšce sâest bien adaptĂ©e à  son habitat qui lui a offert les conditions physico-chimiques et biologiques optimales pour sa croissance.Les paramĂštres de croissance (poids et taille) de la carpe argentĂ©e en monoculture suivis de Janvier 2013 Ă Mars 2014 montrent des valeurs plus importantes que celles trouvĂ©es en polyculture (Carpe ArgentĂ©e + Carpe Herbivore + Carpe Commune) ou (Carpe ArgentĂ©e + Carpe Herbivore) avec un ralentissement ponctuel de la croissance au printemps 2013. Son taux de croissance reste nettement infĂ©rieur Ă celui de la carpe herbivore et de la carpe commune malgrĂ© la reprise du poids Ă partir du mois dâaoĂ»t tributaire Ă lâimportante production du milieu. Ce constat est dĂ», dâune part, au manque de nourriture adĂ©quate pour la carpe argentĂ©e (phytoplancton) qui montre des densitĂ©s trĂšs faibles et, dâautre part, au dĂ©veloppement excessif de Chara vulgaris et Ceratophyllum submersum qui puisent les Ă©lĂ©ments minĂ©raux (N et P) nĂ©cessaires au dĂ©veloppement du phytoplancton. Ainsi, nous recommandons que dans un cas pareil et sous un climat semi-aride, lâapport dâune nourriture supplĂ©mentaire aux carpes argentĂ©es est souhaitable.Mots clĂ©s : Etangs, tempĂ©rature, mode dâĂ©levage, poids, taille, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Deroua, semi-aride, Climat, Maroc
Fry Survival Rate as a Predictive Marker of Optimal Production of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Valenciennes 1844): A Biostatistical Study in Deroua Fish Farm, Morocco
Several indicators show that the world population is rapidly increasing with prospects of reaching close
to 10 billion people in 2050. Optimal production of fish is a
tentative goal to ensure human feeding and resources sustainability. The present study was performed on eggs of the
silver carp, collected during the breeding season of consecutive years with different environmental temperature
profiles at the Deroua Fisheries Station to evaluate the
seasonal and inter-seasonal changes of eggs quality in
order to promote a predictive marker for optimal production of silver carp. The viability of the obtained eggs was
detected using ANOVA followed by the Tukey test to
analyze fertilization rate, embryos survival rate, and fry
survival rate. Data analysis showed no significant difference in the fertilization and survival rate of the embryos
during the two breeding seasons, and therefore these can
not be used as an adequate criterion to predict the viability
of the fry of silver carp. Although the survival rate of the
fry did not change during the first season, it changed significantly during the second when there was an increase in
the environmental temperature. This factor could be
responsible for the disturbance of the femalesâ oogenesis
and consequently the degradation of the eggsâ quality. The
results showed that the fry survival rate could be used as a
parameter to predict the yield of silver carp production
rather than the success of fertilization and the survival of
embryos. This paper discusses the importance and scope of
this approach
EFFET DE LA VARIATION DE LA TEMPERATURE DE LâEAU SUR LA CROISSANCE DU BLACK BASS (STATION DE PISCICULTURE DE LA DEROUA, FKIH BEN SALAH, MAROC).
Ce travail consiste Ă Ă©valuer lâeffet de la tempĂ©rature sur la croissance du Black Bass (Micropterus salmoides) qui est un poisson dâeau tiĂšde. Il a Ă©tĂ© menĂ© au niveau de lâĂ©closerie de la station de pisciculture de la Deroua (Province Fkih Ben Salah) sur une pĂ©riode de deux mois (dĂ©cembre et Janvier). Six bacs dâun volume de 1,5 m3 reçoivent chacun cinq Black bass ayant un poids individuel variant de 64 g Ă 185 g. Deux gammes de tempĂ©rature des eaux sont choisies, la premiĂšre entre 16°C et 18°C et la deuxiĂšme entre 21°C et 24°C fixĂ©e Ă lâaide dâune chaudiĂšre Ă©lectrique.  Les rĂ©sultats ont montrĂ© que :La variation de la tempĂ©rature a un effet hautement significatif sur la croissance du Black bass (α= 0,003). En effet, une augmentation de 3°C double la croissance journaliĂšre moyenne de cette espĂšce carnassiĂšre. Ainsi,  le taux de croissance journalier moyen Ă une tempĂ©rature de 16-18°C est de 0,935 g/j alors quâil  sâĂ©lĂšve Ă 2.11 g/j lorsque la tempĂ©rature oscille entre 21 et 24°C.La durĂ©e de consommation de la mĂȘme quantitĂ© de poissons fourrages par le Black bass Ă la gamme de tempĂ©rature de 16-18°C est plus importante quâĂ une tempĂ©rature comprise entre 21 et 24°C.Le Black bass consomme une quantitĂ© moyenne de 5,1% par jour de son poids frais Ă une tempĂ©rature de 16-18°C alors que cette quantitĂ© atteint 8,7% du poids frais Ă une tempĂ©rature comprise entre 21 et 24°C.Mots clĂ©s : Black Bass, tempĂ©rature, croissance, Deroua, Maroc
Sulfurization of bimetallic (Co and Fe) oxide and alloy decorated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes as efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting
The advancement in electrocatalysis, particularly in the development of efficient catalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER), is crucial for sustainable energy generation through processes like overall water splitting. A notable bifunctional electrocatalyst, CoFe2O4/Co7Fe3, has been engineered to facilitate both OER and HER concurrently, aiming to reduce overpotentials. In the pursuit of further enhancing catalytic efficiency, a morphological transformation has been achieved by introducing a sulphur source and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into the catalyst system, resulting in SâCoFe2O4/Co7Fe3/MWCNTs. This modification has significantly improved the activity for both OER and HER. An onset overpotential of 250 mV@10 mAcmâ2 for the OER and 270 mV@50 mAcmâ2 for the HER, indicating efficient catalytic activity at relatively low overpotentials. SâCoFe2O4/Co7Fe3/MWCNTs display an outstanding long-term stability in alkaline electrolytes, with minimal Tafel slopes of 77 mV/dec for the OER and 70 mV/dec for the HER, suggesting sustained catalytic performance over extended periods. Furthermore, when employed as both the cathode and anode in the context of complete water splitting, SâCoFe2O4/Co7Fe3/MWCNTs demonstrate an impressive cell voltage of 1.52 V at a current density of 10 mA cmâ2 in a 1 M KOH solution, showcasing its viability for practical applications. Given its cost-effectiveness and superior activity, SâCoFe2O4/Co7Fe3MWCNTs hold significant promise for widespread applications in overall water splitting electrocatalysis, contributing to the advancement of cleaner and sustainable fuel generation technologies
