Abstract excerpt
The Cichlid fish Sarotherodon melanotheron is typically found in West and Central African estuaries and lagoons. It represents a good candidate for promoting tilapia farming in brackish waters. Understanding the genetic diversity in its populations from the hydrographical basins of Southern Benin is primordial before designing selective breeding programs. For this purpose, 202 samples collected from four rivers...
