Abstract

Bio-ecology of Ctenopoma kingsleyae Günther in the Kogon and Tinguilinta rivers in the Republic of Guinea was studied through growth type and diet. Sampling was carried out from the series of experimental fisheries from October to December 2013. The experimental fisheries were conducted by gillnets of 10 to 40 mm mesh size. The Length-Weight relationship allowed the determination of the growth type. For diet, the mixed feeding index (MFI) was used. The results have shown that the growth of Ctenopoma kingsleyae in the Kogon and Tinguilinta rivers is positive allometry. In addition, the diet of this fish species is invertivorous.
