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

Abstract

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
