Salinity tolerance of the tilapias Oreochromis aureus, O. niloticus and an O. mossambicus X O. niloticus hybrid

Studies ontogenetic changes in salinity tolerance in tilapias spawned and reared in freshwater using the indices of median lethal salinity, mean survival time and median survival time. Discusses implications of findings for brackish - and seawater culture of tilapias.Salinity tolerance, Hybrids, Tilapia Oreochromis aureus, Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis mossambicus

Experimental rearing of Nile tilapia fry (Oreochromis niloticus) for saltwater culture

Represents a preliminary evaluation of the utility of various approaches of early salinity exposure for saltwater culture of tilapias. Studies the reproductive performance of Nile tilapia under laboratory conditions at various salinities; salinity tolerance of progeny; survivorship of fertilized eggs, spawned in freshwater but removed from the mouth of the parent female and artificially incubated at various salinities.Rearing, Experimental culture, Tilapia culture, Salinity tolerance, Salinity effects Oreochromis niloticus
