Description:
Fish genetics research conducted in two research centers and other institutions in Côte d’Ivoire is presented.
Most of this research so far conducted focused on population genetics. In addition to electrophoresis
characterization, morphometric and meristic characteristics were used to evaluate and describe fish population
in Côte d’Ivoire. Recent genetic research tools, such as microsatellites, restriction fragment length polymorphism
of mitochondrial DNA techniques have been used. Research activities dealt mainly with tilapias (Sarotherodon
melanotheron, Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus) and Siluriformes (Clarias gariepinus, C. anguillaris,
Heterobranchus longifilis, H. bidorsalis and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) which were mostly used for their potential
for aquaculture. One of the research centers, the Fish Station, attached to the Centre National de Recherche
Agronomique-Bouaké regional office, is participating in the International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture
Project.
