Komolafe, O.O. and Arawomo, G.A.O. (1999) The reproduction of Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus) in Opa reservoir, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. In: 13th Annual Conference of the Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON) , 3-8 November 1996 , New Bussa, Nigeria.
Abstract
Oreochromis niloticus is one of the commercial fish species in Opa reservoir. It bred throughout the period of study in the reservoir. The fish species is a maternal mouth brooder with the female specimens carrying eggs and alevins in their mouths. The sex ratio of O. niloticus was 1:1 and the maximum fecundity recorded was 1810 eggs. The fecundity increased as the fish length increased. The relatively high fecundity of the fish species in the reservoir is an indication of the suitability of the small reservoir in contributing to fish production
