Investigation on Some Biological Aspects of Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L. 1758) from Khashm El-Girba Fish Market, Sudan: Length Weight Relationship, Condition Factor and Sex Ratio

The present study was carried out to investigate some aspects of the biology of Oreochromis niloticus, it has ecological and economic importance, found in Khashm El-Girba market; here, we describe the length-weight relationships, condition factors and sex ratio of O. niloticus. A total of 525 specimens were collected from August to November 2016. This study indicated that; the regression of length against weight was computed from the relationship W= a Lb; growth coefficient (b) value 2.880 ±0.430 less than 3, which indicate have negative allometric growth. The condition factors (K) is 3.866 ± 0.027; While the sex ratio was (M: F) 1:0.98.
