The length–length and length–weight relationships and condition factor for Macrobrachium vollenhovenii are described using samples collected from the rivers of Côte d’Ivoire. The maximum carapace lengths (CLs) registered for males and females were 63.00 and 53.60 mm, respectively. All relationships between body length and CL and weight and CL were found to be highly significant, with r2 > 0.76 (P < 0.001). In the length–length relation, the allometry coefficient (b) ranged from 0.75 to 1.46 and varied according to the considered length and groups. The value of b of the length–weight relationship varied from 2.55 to 3.30. Although the three allometry types were observed, overall, M. vollenhovenii exhibited negative allometry. The condition factor (K) did not significantly vary among males and females. The K value decreased from the eastern to western Côte d’Ivoire. The present study presents, for the first time, results on the allometric growth and condition factors of M. vollenhovenii from the rivers of Côte d’Ivoire. Further, a biological database is established for use by fishery managers and in further research on the ecology, reproductive biology and aquaculture potentialities of this species.

Le lac de barrage Solomougou, créé en 1973 à des fins agricoles, est exploité de nos jours pour les activités halieutiques. La présente étude y a été conduite en vue d’étudier sa diversité ichtyologique. Les captures des pêcheurs ont été analysées de janvier à décembre 2019. Les paramètres étudiés sont la richesse spécifique, les abondances spécifique et relative, le pourcentage d’occurrence ainsi que les indices de diversité spécifique de Shannon et Weaver et d’équitabilité de Piélou. Ainsi, 12950 spécimens répartis en quatorze familles, vingt-cinq genres et trente-sept espèces ont été répertoriés. Les trois familles comptant le plus d’espèces sont les Cichlidae (10 espèces), suivis des Mormyridae (6 espèces) et des Cyprinidae (5 espèces). Cependant, dans les captures totales, les Cichlidae (41,87%) sont toujours les plus nombreux, suivis des Alestidae (14,47%) et des Mochokidae (12,84%), chacune de ces deux dernières familles étant représentées par deux espèces. Enfin, en termes d’abondance relative spécifique, Brycinus imberi (14,41%), Synodontis schall (12,76%) et Oreochromis niloticus (11,62%) sont les plus représentatives. Relativement aux valeurs de fréquence d’occurrence, la pêcherie compte quatorze espèces accidentelles, une accessoire et vingt-deux constantes. Les valeurs de l’indice de diversité spécifique de Shannon et de l’indice d’équitabilité sont respectivement 3,9159 et 0,7517.Mots clés : Espèces de poissons, abondance, distribution, lac de barrage Solomougou, Côte d'Ivoire. English title: Ichtyological fauna of the Solomougou dam lake (Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire) The Solomougou dam lake, created in 1973 for crop irrigation, is nowadays used for fishing activities. This study was conducted in order to understand the ichthyological diversity in this fishery. So, fishermen’s catches have been analyzed from January to December 2019 in order to identify fish species and to calculate their specific and relative abundances, their occurrence’s frequency as well as Shannon diversity index and Piélou equitability index. Thus, 12950 specimens including fourteen families, twenty-five genera and thirty-seven species have been recorded. The three families with the most species are Cichlidae (10 species), followed by Mormyridae (6 species) and Cyprinidae (5 species). However, taking into account the relative abundances of families in the total catches, Cichlidae (41.87%) are always the most numerous, followed by Alestidae (14.47%) and Mochokidae (12.84%), each of these last two families being represented by only two species. Finally, in terms of specific relative abundance, the three most dominant species are Brycinus imberi (14.41%), Synodontis schall (12.76%) and Oreochromis niloticus (11.62%). With regard to the occurrence’s frequency values, fourteen accidental species, one accessory and twenty-two constants have been identified. Shannon diversity index and Piélou equitability index are 3.9159 and 0.7517, respectively.Keywords: Fish species, abundance, distribution, Solomougou Dam Lake, Côte d'Ivoire.

AbstractAfrica’s freshwater ecosystems are impacted by many threats due to climate change and several anthropogenic activities. In Côte d’Ivoire, the economy relies mostly on agriculture, which covers around 64% of the land surface. The study aimed to investigate Côte d’Ivoire fishermen’s perception of climate change, its drivers and other anthropogenic activities impacting freshwater fish biodiversity. The fish species locally threatened in the Ivorian freshwater ecosystems were also investigated. Face to face interviews and a structured questionnaire were used. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, means, and standard deviation, minimum and maximum. The multinomial logit regression was also applied to test factors that influence fishermen’s awareness and perception of climate change and their perception of change in fish abundance. The results show that around 72.7% of fishermen were aware of climate change. Decreases of precipitation (87.9%) and increases of temperature (76.1%) were observed by fishermen. Also, a significant decrease in fish quantity was observed by respondents. Climate change and anthropogenic activities such as gold mining, water withdrawal, use of small-mesh fishing nets, overfishing, industrial waste pollution, pesticides use for agricultural purposes along watersheds, obnoxious fishing practices and population growth, were highlighted as the main reasons for this decline. Species such as Lates niloticus, Heterotis niloticus, Parachanna obscura, Malapterurus electricus, Sarotherodon galilaeus, Tilapia zillii, Polpyterus endlicheri and Labeo coubie were listed by fishermen as locally threatened within Ivorian freshwater ecosystems. Actions and policies are needed to be taken by local authorities to ensure the sustainability of fisheries resources. The information obtained from this study constitutes a prerequisite for developing and implementing studies or policies aimed at mitigating and combating the negative effect of climate change and anthropogenic activities on the Ivorian freshwater ecosystem.
