dc.description.abstractThe Ahémé Lake and its channels make up the saline area in Benin and do not facilitate the breeding of freshwater fish. The cross between the parents of Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon melanatheron allowed us to obtain hybrids that grow in brackish water. It is a totally randomized device with four treatments and two repetitions. The larvae were brought back and fed to satiety for 6 weeks. The growth rates of the OS hybrids were 0.38 g/day, while those of the SO hybrids were 0.33 g/day. OS hybrids are an excellent candidate for fish farming in a brackish environment.
