Benefits of Culturing Tilapia in Recirculating Systems

چکیده
There are many species of tilapia, but only a few are widely cultured around the world. In the United States the most commonly cultured species of tilapia are the Nile (nilotica), Blue (aurea), Mozambique (mossambicus), Hornorum (hornorum), and hybrids such as the Taiwanese and Florida red. Choosing a species to culture depends largely on customer preference, legal status, growth rate and cold tolerance.

متن کاملEstimation of ammonia excretion rates during a period of red tilapia, Oreochromis sp. Culture, considering biomass increase in a water recirculating system
A completely randomized experimental design was conducted to estimate ammonia excretion rate by red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) during different stages of its growth in recirculating water system units typically designed to meet the experiment purposes. Eight weight groups each containing 75individuals of 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 120, 180 and 200g average weight were considered as treatments in duplic...

متن کاملAquaponics: integrating fish feeding rates and ion waste production for strawberry hydroponics
Aquaponics is the science of integrating intensive fish aquaculture with plant production in recirculating water systems. Although ion waste production by f ish cannot satisfy all plant requirements, less is known about the relationship between total feed provided for f ish and the production of milliequivalents (mEq) of different macronutrients for plants, especially for nutrient flow hydropon...
متن کاملHematology and plasma chemistry reference intervals for cultured tilapia (Oreochromis hybrid).
Tilapia are a commonly aquacultured fish yet little is known about their normal physiology and response to disease. In this study we determined the results of complete hematologic (n=40) and plasma biochemical profiles (n=63) in production tilapia (Oreochromis hybrids). The fish were raised in recirculating systems with a high stocking density (120 g/L), and were in the middle of a 15-month pro...
