  abstract = {{S}everal ecological services and functions are attributed to macrophytes, which may represent valuable resource for the ecological intensification of tropical fish farming. {H}owever, considering the multiple potential eco-services provided by macrophytes, the choice of the most appropriate species requires multiple criteria to assess these eco-services. {F}ive floating macrophytes ({E}ichhornia crassipes, {L}emna minor, {A}zolla filiculoides, {S}alvinia molesta and {S}alvinia spp.) were selected for this study. {T}he six ecoservices parameters compared among these macrophytes were: productivity (in % of seeded macrophytes), risk of non-productive cycles, nutritional value, impact on water quality, palatability (expressed as the percentage of plant ingested in 4 h) and ease of use. {E}xperiments to determine these indicators were carried out in simple devices (net cages and plastic tanks) partially immerged in earthen ponds. {T}he palatability of fresh macrophytes (whole or chopped) was studied in ponds using {O}sphronemus goramy juveniles. {A}ll indicators were scored from 1 to 5, and the highest score was assigned to the highest performer. {T}hese scores corresponded either to the evaluation of a single parameter (e.g. productivity) or to the average from scores of several parameters (e.g. nutritional score). {M}ultiplier coefficients were applied for nutritional value and palatability. {A}zolla filiculoides showed the best scores for productivity; {L}. minor for nutritional value and palatability, and {E}. crassipes for the lowest risk of non-productive cycles and a positive impact on water quality. {A}fter integrating the scores in a multi-parameter matrix, {A}. filiculoides had the best overall score. {T}he results of this approach to select macrophytes are discussed in light of the eco-services provided by macrophytes which may, in turn, promote the ecological intensification of tropical small-scale aquaculture.},
