from 6 to 16ppt. Optimum salinity of weight gain in O. niloticus was at 16ppt, while 20ppt concentration was the lowest weight gain. In conclusion, the brackish water at 16ppt can be used for rearing O. niloticus without affecting growth rate and reproduction with adequate balanced nutrition.
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.
