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

Abstract

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
