This study was conducted to determine the Length-weight relationship, Condition factor and Feeding habit of two
commercial fish species Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis and Brycinus macrolepidotus in Ikere Gorge. A total of 561 samples
(276 Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis and 285 Brycinus macrolepidotus) were caught from experimental gill net between
October 2015 to November 2016 across five fishing site. Sex ratio show significant different p <0.05 across all location
in favor of females in Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis. Male dominancy was recorded for Brycinus macrolepidotus in most
fishing site with chi square value of 18.33. Growth pattern for Hyperopisus bebe occidentalis showed positive allometric
in three of the sampling locations (Oyo junction, Apata and Spillway) with b value >3 and poor environ.. View more»
