Effect of Stocking Density on the Growth Performance of Sex-Reversed Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fingerlings Fed Unhatched Chicken Egg Diet

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of stocking density on the growth performance of sex-reversed Nile tilapia fingerlings; Oreochromis niloticus fed unhatched chicken egg diet. The male and female tilapias having an average weight of 500 g were paired up in two fiber glass tanks and hand-fed commercially available floating feed (45% protein) two times daily to satiation. Natural spawning of fish was allowed. The fries were treated with 17- -methyltestosterone for 21 days. The fingerlings were stocked at three stocking densities (32 fish m , 63 fish m and 95 fish m ) in nine (9) circular fiber glass tanks, each with 33 3
