The mean ratiosChromidotilapia guentheri (Sauvage) (2.18), Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner) (3.46)Tilapia mariae (Boulenger) (9.27) portrayed herbivorous adaptation whereas ratiosPapyrocranus afer (Gunther) (0.22), Parachanna obscura (Gunther) (0.70), Ctenopoma(Gunther) (0.94), Hemichromis fasciatus (Peters) (0.85), 8rycimus longipinnis (Gunther) (1depicted carnivorous adaptation. 8rycinus nurse (Ruppel) (1.41) and Malapterurus(Gunther) (1.62) fitted between carnivores (0.22-1.00) and herbivores (2.18-9.27).Page Range
