Abstract

In order to know the ecological variation of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in northern Colombia, 392 individuals were collected from two coastal lagoons, one dam, two marshes, and three fish farms. The canonical discriminant analysis size-free (CDA-SF) of 21 morphometric measurements between 10 anatomical landmarks revealed discrimination among naturalized and domesticated populations. The CDA-SF also revealed morphometric variation within each group. Three ecomorphotypes were determined, each one for a type of system (freshwater, estuarine, alkaline). These results are attributed to environmental conditions (salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and morphoedaphic conditions) and kind of foodstuff consumed by every population in each water body, and kind of habitat (wild or confined).
