Abstract

Hybrid Tilapia averaging 56.91 g were stocked into 4 m(3) cages standing in ponds at two different stocking rates (10 and 18/m(3)). Fish were fed 3 months. Final weight of groups were found: 215.85+/-4.74 g and 159.11+/-9.57 g respectively. Significant difference was found between final weights of two stocking rates (P<0.01).
