Abstract

Undernourishment linked to a lack of animal protein is rife in Africa. Fish consumption appears to be the solution to this problem. However, fish products are becoming increasingly scarce due to the depletion of fish farming resources in maritime and continental waters. Hence the need to intensify fish farming. This requires mastery of the reproduction of the fish to be domesticated. After dissecting the fish, their sex and stage of sexual maturity were determined. An anatomical study showed that the Pomadasys jubelini testis consists of 2 lobes and presents 5 stages of sexual maturity. They become spermiant at stage 4, making stage 4 males ideal broodstock for fish farming.
