ABSTRACT
Background: In the present study, length-frequency distribution, length-weight relationship (LWR) and Condition (K) factor were determined of Mugil bananensis. Objective: The objective of this study was to provide baseline data on length-weight relationship and condition factor for M. bananensis from Saloum Estuary. Methods: Specimens used for this study were caught during experimental fishing carried out quarterly from September 2014 to June 2016 in Saloum Estuary, Senegal. The weight and length of individuals were measured using an electronic scale and an ichthyometer respectively. Results: The total length obtained ranged from 12.1 to 29.5 cm with a mean of 22.4±2.02 cm. The length-frequency distribution was unimodal with a size mode equal to 21 cm. The allometric coefficient (b=2.878) was significantly (p < 0.05) different from 3, indicating negative allometric growth for M. bananensis. The condition factor (K) was higher than one (>1), which showed that this species was in good conditions in Saloum Estuary’s waters. Seasonal changes in the condition factor (K) slightly decreased from the hot season (1.15±0.73) to the cold season (1.03±0.378). Conclusion: The findings of this study are significant and can serve as vital input parameters for future evaluations and fisheries management strategies concerning M. bananensis in the Saloum Estuary.
