Abstract:
The growth of Brycinus longipinnis caught at Aghien Lagoon was studied between June 2014 and May 2015 through growth type, condition factor and growth parameters according to the Von Bertalanffy model. Sampling was conducted using experimental fisheries. Growth type was determined from the length-weight relationship and growth parameters according to the Von Bertalanffy model from the FiSAT software. The growth was of negative allometric type (b = 2.59). The Brycinus longipinnis population grows faster towards the asymptotic length ((L∞ = 92.40 mm SL) with a growth coefficient K of 0.36 year-1. It is also a long-lived fish species with maximum longevity (tmax) of 8.32 years.
