Sex-ratio and fecundity of catfish, Clarias gariepinus in Opa reservoir, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife
The sex-ratio of Clarias gariepinus in Opa Reservoir was 2:1 (male/female). The fecundity of C. gariepinus in Opa reservoir ranged between 1,567 and 650,625 egg. The fish species had extended spawning period which probably spreads the risk of predation on the eggs. The population of the fish species could be improved by stocking with the female breeders
