Tank Culture Of Tilapia

James E. Rakocy

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: September 1989

Tank culture of tilapia is a good alternative to pond or cage culture if sufficient water or land is not available and the economics are favorable. Tilapia grow well at high densities in the confinement of tanks when good water quality is maintained. This is accomplished by aeration and frequent or continuous water exchange to renew dissolved oxygen (DO) supplies and remove wastes. Culture systems that discard water after use are called flowthrough systems while those that filter and recycle water are referred to as recirculating systems.

Key Words: USDA • SRAC • Tilapia • Tank Culture
