MARINE TILAPIA

Culture of Seawater Tilapia as Potential Marine Food Fish

This project was conducted to evaluate the performance of hybrid tilapia in seawater conditions. The objectives of this project are:

To incubate the fertilized egg of spawned brooders freshwater under different salinity.
To determine the growth performance of juvenile hybrid tilapia under different salinity.
To determine the breeding performance of hybrid tilapia under different salinity.

The eggs were incubated in artificial incubator under different salinity (0, 15, 25 and 30 ppt). There were 30 eggs in incubator system each. The volume of yolksac was determined everyday. The juvenile of hybrid tilapia were culture under different salinity (0, 15, 25 and 30 ppt). 30 of juvenile were cultured in each salinity conditions. Length and weight were recorded every week. A total of 3 pairs of hybrid tilapia brooder were cultured into breeding tank with different salinity (0 and 30 ppt). The observations were conducted everyweek.
