Abstract

Growth and production of all male Tilapia nilotica and male hybrid, T. nilotica x T. hornorum, stocked at 1 Fish/m2, were compared in 0.1 ha earthen ponds. Fish were fed a 23% protein pellet 5 days a week. After 90 days the average net production for T. nilotica was 1.197 kg/ha, not different (P > 0.05) From the 1,143 kg/ha of the hybrid. The average final weight of the T. nilotica was 133.7 g similar (P > 0.05) to the 131.1g of the hybrid.
