Résumé

 The aim of this study was to determine and compare the proximate composition of Oreochromis niloticus and hybrid Tilapia, from Oyan Lake. Parameters proximate composition which includes protein, lipid, ash and moisture content were estimated. The average moisture content for O.niloticus was in range of 81.11 to 81.67% and 80.01 to 80.17% for hybrid Tilapia. %. Results revealed that there was a significant difference in the mean protein values of O.niloticus and hybrid tilapia with the females of the two fish species were observed to have significantly higher (p <0,05) crude protein content than their male counterparts. The fat content values were low but significantly different (p<0.05) between the hybrid Tilapia and O.niloticus. Ash content ranged from 1.24 to1.48% for the O. niloticus and 1.30 to 1.24% for the hybrid Tilapia.
