Over a six-month trial, growth performance of juvenile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, raised
under biofloc cultivation, was recorded. Five treatments with three replicates and 237 …

This study evaluated the effect of biofloc technology (BFT) application on water quality and
production performance of red tilapia Oreochromis sp. at different stocking densities. Three …

Silver perch fingerlings (range mean weights, 109.3–115.4 g) were stocked at densities of
12, 25, 50, 100 or 200 fish/m3 in cages (1 m3) in an aerated, 0.32-ha earthen pond, with four …

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of stocking density (125 or 200 fish m− 3)
on the growth performance of three strains of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus: the non …

Aquaponics is a fish-plant recirculating system where nutrients received from the fish culture
are absorbed by the plants for growth. The technology is relatively new for fish culture in …

The efficiency of two biofilter media (polypropylene plastic chips and polyethylene blocks)
was tested for 172 days in relation to ammonia removal, water quality, waste accumulation …

In aquaculture, controls of size (length and weight) and production of fish are two important
tasks to meet the market demands, and increasing the stocking density is a way of dealing …

This study investigated the effects of different stocking densities on growth and serum
