摘要

The West-African neighbouring Gambia and Saloum estuaries function in different ways, the first being normal (saltier waters in the lower river, salinity range 0-38) and the second being inverse (saltier waters in the upper river. salinity range 36-90). The common cichlid species Sarotherodon melanotheron was collected in both systems over 16 months (June 2001 to September 2002) at five locations. We quantified reproductive traits from macroscopic examination of the gonads, oocyte counts and measurements, and growth from interpretation and measurements of an otolith sub-sample. There was a clear seasonal cycle of reproduction in the estuaries with a peak at the beginning of the wet season (May-July). Size at maturation was smaller in the more saline environment, the Saloum, for both females (170 mm in Gambia and 131 mm in Saloum) and males (162 and 113 mm respectively). The relative fecundity was lower and the oocyte size was bigger in the freshwater location of the Gambia river. Growth, estimated by counting the annual opaque zones on whole otoliths, was reduced in the hypersaline environment of the Saloum (L-infinity = 198 mm, K = 0.26). Differences are less obvious between the growth in the Gambia (L-infinity = 238 mm, K = 0.21) and that in the Saloum with a salinity of less than 60 (L-infinity = 244 mm, K = 0.22). All these observations suggest that S. melanotheron is able to withstand saltier environments by limiting its growth, reducing the size-at-maturity, and changing its fecundity, but the most profound changes are only visible in hypersaline conditions.
