Influence of daylight and incubation interval on water column respiration in tropical fish ponds.

Abstract: Water column respiration (WCR) was measured in dark BOD bottles for 2, 4 and 8 h intervals during 22 h periods in two 1000 m2 […]

On the role of urea in pond fertilization

Abstract: Two experiments were conducted to better understand the role of urea in pond fertilization. In Experiment 1, urea dissolved in pond water and incubated in […]

Tilapia Yield Improvement Through Maintenance of Minimal Oxygen Concentrations in Experimental Grow-Out Ponds in Honduras

Abstract: Tilapia yields and water quality were compared in 1000-m2 grow-out ponds that were unaerated, or aerated beginning at 10 or 30% of oxygen saturation. Tilapia […]

Instantaneous mortalities and multivariate models: applications to tilapia culture in saline water

Abstract: The “per cent mortalities” commonly used by aquaculturists do not allow separation of the different components of fish mortality between stocking and harvesting in aquaculture […]

Production of Oreochromis niloticus fry for hormonal sex reversal in relation to water temperature.

Abstract: Recently hatched tilapia fry 9 to 11 mm total length (TL) are preferred for hormonal sex reversal because they are most likely to be sexually […]

An economic analysis of fish production in a subsistence agricultural economy: The case of Rwanda

Abstract: A survey of 55 fish farmers in Rwanda provided data to analyse the economics of fish production in a subsistence agricultural economy. Survey results demonstrated […]

Effects of urea application, aeration, and drying on total carbon concentrations in pond bottom soils

Abstract: Aerated ponds did not accumulate as much carbon in bottom soils as control ponds. Application of urea to manured ponds did not accelerate carbon loss […]

Comparison of two techniques for determining community respiration in tropical fish ponds

Abstract: Two techniques for determining community respiration in organically fertilized tilapia grow-out ponds were compared: (1) whole pond respiration (WPR) from changes in nocturnal dissolved oxygen […]

Model for predicting dissolved oxygen levels in stratified ponds using reduced data inputs

Abstract: Previous attempts at the prediction of dissolved oxygen (D.O.) levels in ponds used for aquaculture have often relied on the assumption of homogeneous pond water […]
