    Objectif : Le but de cette Ă©tude est de dĂ©terminer les paramètres de reproduction de l’espèce de Bivalve Cardium costatum dĂ©barquĂ©e au port de pĂŞche d’Abidjan par les chalutiers en vue d’apporter des donnĂ©es importantes dans les stratĂ©gies de conservation et de gestion durable des stocks. MĂ©thodologie et rĂ©sultats : Au total 8640 individus ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©chantillonnĂ©s mensuellement de novembre 2012 Ă  octobre 2014. Les mensurations, les dissections, les prĂ©lèvements de gonades et les analyses histologiques ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es au laboratoire. La sex-ratio, la taille de première maturitĂ© sexuelle et la pĂ©riode de reproduction ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©terminĂ©es. Le suivi mensuel de l’indice de condition et de l’indice gonadique rĂ©vèle que la gamĂ©togĂ©nèse a lieu de janvier Ă  fĂ©vrier et de juillet Ă  octobre. Le repos sexuel est observĂ© pendant les mois de mars Ă  juin et de novembre Ă  dĂ©cembre. La sex-ratio prĂ©sente une dominance des femelles par rapport aux mâles avec un rapport femelles et mâles de 1,68 soit 62,74% de femelles et 37,26% de mâles. La diffĂ©rence entre les mâles et les femelles est significative (X2 = 9,58 ; ddl = 8) au seuil de 5%. La taille de première maturitĂ© sexuelle est de 57,89 mm chez la femelle et de 66,24 mm chez le mâle. Conlusion et application des rĂ©sultats : Cette espèce prĂ©sente deux pĂ©riodes de ponte dans l’annĂ©e. Ces rĂ©sultats pourraient aider les politiques Ă  actualiser les donnĂ©es pour une meilleure planification de la gestion durable des ressources maritimes et initier la conchyliculture.   Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the reproduction parameters of the species of Bivalve Cardium costatum landed at the fishing port of Abidjan by trawlers in order to provide important data in conservation strategies and sustainable management of stocks. Methodology and results: A total of 8640 individuals were sampled monthly from November 2012 to October 2014. Measurements, dissections, gonad samples and histological analyzes were carried out in the laboratory. Sex ratio, size at first sexual maturity and reproductive period were determined. Monthly monitoring of condition index and gonadal index reveals that gametogenesis takes place from January to February and from July to October. Sexual rest is observed during the months of March to June and November to December. The sex ratio shows a dominance of females compared to males with a female to male ratio of 1.68 either 62.74% females or 37.26% males. The difference between males and females is significant (X2 = 9.58; df = 8) at the 5% threshold. The size at first sexual maturity is 57.89 mm in females and 66.24 mm in males. Conclusion and application of results: This species has two laying periods during the year. These results could help politicians update data for better planning for the sustainable management of maritime resources and initiate shellfish farming

    Pseudotolithus elongatus est un poisson rĂ©gulièrement rencontrĂ© dans les dĂ©barquements de la pĂŞche artisanale et commerciale pratiquĂ©e en lagune EbriĂ©. Cependant, en CĂ´te d’Ivoire aucune Ă©tude n’a encore Ă©tĂ© menĂ©e sur cette espèce bien qu’elle ait une valeur commerciale Ă©levĂ©e et qu’elle soit beaucoup prisĂ©e par la population. Du fait de l'intĂ©rĂŞt commercial que prĂ©sente P. elongatus, l'Ă©tude de sa reproduction est nĂ©cessaire si l'on souhaite assurer la pĂ©rennitĂ© de l’espèce et satisfaire le consommateur. L’étude de la morphologie et de l’histologie des gonades a Ă©tĂ© basĂ©e sur la taille, la forme, la coloration la prĂ©sence ou l’absence d’ovocytes mĂ»rs, le diamètre des ovocytes et l’observation histologique. Les rĂ©sultats obtenus ont rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© six stades de maturation des gonades avec une gamĂ©togenèse continue observĂ©e chez cette espèce. L’ensemble de ces informations contribueront Ă  pĂ©renniser l’espèce par une gestion rationnelle du stock.   English title: Morphological and histological characteristics of the gonads of pseudotolithus elongatus (Bowdich, 1825), from EbriĂ© lagoon, CĂ´te d’Ivoire Pseudotolithus elongatus is a fish regularly met in the landings of the artisanal and commercial fishing on Ebrie lagoon. However, in Ivory Coast no study has been conducted on this species although it has a high commercial value and it is very appreciated by the people. Because of the commercial interest of P. elongatus studying its reproduction is necessary if one wishes to improve operations in order to ensure the sustainability of the species and satisfy the consumer. The studies of gonads morphology and histology of Pseudotolithus elongatus was based on the size, shape, staining of the gonads, the presence or absence of ripe oocytes, the diameter of the oocytes and the histological observation. The results obtained indicate six stages of gonad maturation with continuous gametogenesis observed in this species. All of this information will contribute to perpetuate this species through rational management of the stock. &nbsp

    The study of reproduction of Pseudotolithus elongatus in the Ebrie lagoon was investigated between July 2013 and June 2015 on a whole of individuals of 550 specimens. the total length ranges from 14.5 to 42.7 cm. The monthly evolution of the gonado-somatic index (GSI), the liver-somatic index (LSI), the condition factor (K), the Sex-ratio, the fecundity, the diameter of eggs revealed that this species spawns throughout the year but the main breeding period was in raining season. Sex-ratio observed was in favour of females (1: 1. 14; X2 = 2.26; p > 0.05). The percentage of mature specimens by sexes was calculated for each size class. Total length at first maturity was 21.06 cm for females and 20.21cm for males. The ripe ovaries contained 39883-814757 eggs. The relative fecundity was 216-1979 eggs per g of body weight of females. And the mean diameter of eggs is 336 ±138 microns

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the reproduction parameters of the species of Bivalve Cardium costatum landed at the fishing port of Abidjan by trawlers in order to provide important data in conservation strategies and sustainable management of stocks. Methodology and results: Cockles caught by bottom trawls from November 2012 to October 2014 in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of CĂ´te d’Ivoire were collected at the fishing port of Abidjan every two weeks. Measurements, dissections, gonad samples and histological analyzes were carried out in the laboratory. Sex ratio, size at first sexual maturity and reproductive period were determined. A total of 8640 individuals were sampled monthly. Monthly monitoring of condition index and gonadal index reveals that gametogenesis takes place from January to February and from July to October. Sexual rest is observed during the months of March to June and November to December.

    The reproductive biology of Heterotis niloticus has been studied from monthly samples taken from artisanal fishing on the Agneby river during the period june 2013 to May 2015. The whole sample consisted of 498 specimens of which 269 females and 229 males were examined. Sex-ratio observed was in favour of females (1: 1.17; X2 = 3.21; p > 0.05). The monthly evolution of the gonado-somatic index (GSI), the liver-somatic index (LSI), the condition factor (K) and maturation stages suggests that this fish has two periods of reproduction. The two periods were respectively from june to august and from november to december. The standard length at first sexual maturity was 490.6 mm for females and 436.3 mm for males. The absolute fecundity was ranged from 5424 to 25591 oocytes in females of 595 mm to 780 mm standard length. The relative fecundity was 3752± 1491 oocytes/kg of female
