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 with the prohlem of land shortage. In this study, tilapia fry were stocked at the densities of 0,1, 0,2, 0.4, 0,8, 1.6 and 3,2 fry 1~' for an experimental period of 10 weeks. The size, size variation, percentage sun'ival and production were found to he significantly affected hy stocking density, hut not for condition factor. The simple linear regression model, after the logarithmic transformation, was appropriate for the relationship hetween size and experimental period. The percentage survivals at al! stocking densities were high ( > 95%). especially at the stocking density of 0,4 fry 1"' and less (100%). At the higher densities, percentage survival and experimental periods were anti-logistically related. At the end of the experiment, there was a negative relationship hetween the logarithms of size and the logarithms of stocking density, but a positive relationship between the logarithms of production and the logarithms of stocking density.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
