Reproductive biology of
The reproductive activities of a small Cichlid Chromidotilapia guntheri
were investigated from July 2003 to March 2005 in four coastal rivers (Ehania,
Eholié, Noé and Soumié), in the southeast of Côte d’Ivoire. Trends in gonadosomatic
indices and reproductive stages of development suggested that C. guntheri
is a multiple (fractional) spawner and breeds all year round with little
fluctuation in spawning intensity. However, spawning activities were more intensive in
August and September. The estimated mean standard length at first maturity did not differ
significantly between rivers. It was, in the overall population, 85.53 mm SL for males and
100.13 mm SL for females. In general, the sex ratio differed from 1:1 with the
predominance of the males in rivers, standard length classes, seasons and the entire
population. Absolute fecundity (F) varied from a minimum of 70 to a maximum of 470 eggs.
The range of variation in the relative fecundity was from 3066 to 9135 eggs per kilogram
of fish in the total population. Fecundity did not differ extensively between rivers. The
absolute fecundity relations to fish standard length (SL) and eviscerated weight (We) were
best described in the whole population by the following equations: F = 0.00069 ×
SL2.72 and F = 2.54 × We1.15, respectively. Moreover, there was no
relationship between absolute fecundity and oocyte diameter
