Effects of stocking densities on tilapia seed production under high salinity biofloc system

Abstract Provision of suitable technique for saline tilapia seed is required since demand these species increased continuously. Most rely on sourcing freshwater fingerling and further acclimatized in brackishwater ponds. The study aimed to evaluate the effects various fry densities production parameters under high salinity-biofloc system. Three being tested cultured biofloc technology (BFT) at salinity level above 20 ppt, such as: A (BFT 2.5 L − ), B 5.0 C 7.5 ) one treatment as control, D (Non-BFT ). experimental set-up was completely random design triplicated replications. Animals test were fed two times a day 32% crude protein content it lasted three weeks. Results from experiment shown that performed best term biomass (18.00±3.61g), survival (98.00±2.00%), SGR (20.72±0.20% d FCR (1.72±0.38) CF (1.59±0.17). An increasing stocking density up will reduced rate, final individual weight FCR. It can be concluded BFT conditions healthy even reared higher salinity.
