High stocking density is used in aquaculture to optimize farming. However, such strategies can stress territorial fish by increasing aggression, thus harming the fish welfare and productive performance. Here, we tested the effect of long-term tactile body stimulation (TS) on alleviating the impact...

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different stocking populations of tilapia nilotica fish in their aquaculture on some maintenance behavior, performance, economic values, and hormonal concentration levels. On this research, 300 tilapia nilotica fish were distributed into...

The study was carried out to assess the effect of stocking density on the growth and survival of GIF Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for a period of 90 days from June to August 2016 in the Perumpallam reservoir, Erode District, Tamil Nadu. Uniform size tilapia fingerlings with an average weight of...

Aim: To standardize the stocking density of GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to optimize survival, growth, biomass production and maximum economic gain in pond cage culture system. Methodology: Study was conducted in triplicate for 180 days in fish cages installed in cemented...

Intensification of tilapia production can cause negative implications on performance and welfare of fishes. Thus, it is essential to determine a correct density for optimal production. This study aimed to evaluate performance and animal welfare of juvenile Nile tilapia with an initial weight...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of stocking densities with respect to growth performance, body composition, hormonal and hematological responses of Genetically Improved Farm Tilapia (GIFT) in cages for 6 months. GIFT juveniles with an average weight of 37.11 ± 1.48 g (mean ± SE)...

The determination of an optimum stocking density should be obtained according to a complex assessment, in which growth performance, water quality, animal welfare, and production costs need to be considered. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate different stocking densities of...

Two onsite tests were carried out to determine the effects of varying dietary protein to energy (P:E) ratio in intensive culture of Nile tilapia in two different places at two stocking densities. In both field trials, three diets were used namely commercial (CM) diet, control (CO) diet containing...

Determining a suitable stocking density of fish for an ambient condition is very important for economic benefit in cage aquaculture, which is not yet tested for many species in Sylhet district of Bangladesh. Therefore, current research was conducted in order to explore the effect of various ...

The effect of tank background colour and stocking density on growth rates and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry (0.32 g) were investigated. The fish were reared in aquarium with blue, black and clear backgrounds at two stocking densities of 2 fish L^-1 and 4 fish L^-1. The outside...
