Haematogram of the tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Cichlidae, Teleostei) and application of a putative phenoloxidase for differentiating between neutrophilic granulocytes and monocytes - English, French
URL: http://www.nrc.ca/cisti/journals/cjz/z97-202.html

To date, little is known about the haematology of the tilapiaOreochromis niloticus, which is one of the most important species in freshwater aquaculture worldwide. We present a haematogram of O. niloticus obtained by means of panoptical staining and cytochemical procedures such as demonstration of acid phosphatase, peroxidase, oxidase, esterase, and the CD14 receptor. Emphasis was placed on the differentiation between neutrophils and monocytes, which in the past has been difficult to accomplish for many fish species.

Oreochromis niloticus (L.) was introduced to Lake Victoria in 1950s where it remained relatively uncommon until 1965, when the number began to increase dramatically. It is now the third commercially important fish after the Nile Perch, Lates niloticus (L.) and dagaa, Rastrineobola argentea (Pellegrin).

Oreochromis karongae (above) is one of the four endemic tilapias of Lake Malawi. This species is found in the northern part of the lake, where the African name for black breeding males is "Manindi." As a group, this and the other endemic Malawi tilapias are recognized within the subgenus Oreochromis (Oreochromis) by a suite of characters including, among others, the following.
