The 7th Balkan Conference on Operational Research, Constanta, Romanya, 25 - 28 Mayıs 2005, ss.25-28, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
This study was conducted for 90 days to investigate the growth rate and weight gain ofoverwintered Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultured in completely extensive conditions infloating cages placed in Seyhan Dam Lake, Adana (Lat 36o 59' N – Long 35o 19' E). Individualswith a mean weight of 61.92±11.80 g were stocked at 20 fish m-3 in cages. According to thefinal results, tilapia showed a weight gain of 50.09±0.52 g., (from 61.92±11.80 g to112.01±0.77 g.) reaching to 17.07±0.41 cm average length (mean ± standard deviation; n=40)by the third month. At the end of the culture period the daily weight gain (0.556±0.005 g perfish day-1) and the specific growth rate (0.654±0.27%) were calculated.
