Abstract
Aspects of the biology of Mormyrus rume (Cuvier and Valenciennes) in Lekki lagoon were investigated. This included the length-weight relationship, condition factor, food and feeding habits and the fecundity of the fish species. The major fishing methods employed for collecting the 225 specimens were castnetting and setnetting. The total lengths ranged from 15.0 to 24.9 cm while the standard lengths ranged from 13.0 to 23.0 cm. The body weights also ranged from 26.2 to 99.3g. The fish exhibited isometric growth in the lagoon. The mean condition factor obtained was 1.20. The condition factor generally decreased with increase in individual sizes. The major food items were detritus and plant parts. The population of males was significantly higher than the females. The gonadosomatic index showed that M. rume in the Lekki Lagoon uses an average of 7.89% of its body weight in egg production. Fecundity ranged from 741 to 6000 eggs with an average of 2991 eggs per female
Se investigó varios aspectos de la biología de Mormyrus rume (Cuvier y Valenciennes) en la laguna Lekki, que Estos incluyeron la relación longitud-peso, el factor condición, alimento y hábitos alimenticios, y la fecundidad de esta especie de peces. Los métodos principales de pesca empleados para recolectar 225 especímenes fueron por medio de redes (castnetting & setnetting). La longitud total se distribuyó en un ámbito de 15.0 cm a 24.9 cm mientras que la longitud estándar se distribuyó entre 13.0 cm a 23.0 cm. Los pesos corporales se distribuyeron en un ámbito de 26.2 g a 99.3 g. Los peces exhibieron un crecimiento isométrico en la laguna. El factor condición promedio obtenido fue 1.20. El factor condición generalmente decrece con el incremento en el tamaño del individuo. Los principales alimentos fueron detritus y partes de plantas. La población de machos fue significativamente mayor que la de hembras. El índice gonadosomático mostrado por M. rume en la laguna Lekki presenta un promedio de 7,89% del peso corporal en producción de huevos. La fecundidad tiene un ámbito de 741 a 6 000 huevos con un promedio de 2 991 huevos por hembra
