    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 d’élevage (monoculture ou polyculture). Le coefficient de condition, toujours supĂ©rieur Ă  1, montre que cette espĂšce s’est 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 d’aoĂ»t tributaire Ă  l’importante production du milieu. Ce constat est dĂ», d’une part, au manque de nourriture adĂ©quate pour la carpe argentĂ©e (phytoplancton) qui montre des densitĂ©s trĂšs faibles et, d’autre 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, l’apport d’une nourriture supplĂ©mentaire aux carpes argentĂ©es est souhaitable.Mots clĂ©s : Etangs, tempĂ©rature, mode d’élevage, 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 females’ oogenesis and consequently the degradation of the eggs’ 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 L’EAU SUR LA CROISSANCE DU BLACK BASS (STATION DE PISCICULTURE DE LA DEROUA, FKIH BEN SALAH, MAROC).

    Ce travail consiste Ă  Ă©valuer l’effet de la tempĂ©rature sur la croissance du Black Bass (Micropterus salmoides) qui est un poisson d’eau tiĂšde. Il a Ă©tĂ© menĂ© au niveau de  l’écloserie  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 d’un 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  l’aide d’une 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 qu’il  s’élĂšve 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 qu’à 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 S–CoFe2O4/Co7Fe3/MWCNTs. This modification has significantly improved the activity for both OER and HER. An onset overpotential of 250 mV@10 mAcm−2 for the OER and 270 mV@50 mAcm−2 for the HER, indicating efficient catalytic activity at relatively low overpotentials. S–CoFe2O4/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, S–CoFe2O4/Co7Fe3/MWCNTs demonstrate an impressive cell voltage of 1.52 V at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in a 1 M KOH solution, showcasing its viability for practical applications. Given its cost-effectiveness and superior activity, S–CoFe2O4/Co7Fe3MWCNTs hold significant promise for widespread applications in overall water splitting electrocatalysis, contributing to the advancement of cleaner and sustainable fuel generation technologies
