Abstract

Production of fish biomass in pond culture systems is regulated by three parameters: stock density, mortality, and growth in individual weight (Backiel and LeCren 1967, 1978; Chapman 1971). These parameters are related through mechanisms of biotic interactions and their physico-chemical environments (Fry 1947, 1971; Kerr 1980; Werner 1980), as previously shown in this document. For many cultured fish species, pond mangement for maximization of biomass production and standing stocks remains limited by knowledge of the ecological principles of the systems. The mechanisms relating stocking density, mortality, and growth are therefore key considerations of this study.
