Effect of different stocking densities on growth performance and profitability of Oreochromis niloticus fry reared in hapa-in-pond system
A one month trial of sex reversal treatment of O. niloticus fry of varying stocking densities was performed in hapas-in-pond to determine the growth performance characteristics and profitability. Larvae were selected, collected, weighed and stocked inside a 10.0 m2 hapas in a 0.2 ha pond with stocking densities of 10000 (A), 15000 (B) and 20000 (C). Each stocking were made in triplicate. Fry were...

Gill arch occupation models of parasite communities of Barbus martorelli (Teleostean: Cyprinidae)
Changes in Barbus martorelli gill arch occupation models by its parasite component community were investigated for nine months. The work revealed three different categories of models. The first category follows the combined action of the respiratory water current and the colonized surface of each gill arch. The second category based on the mode of infestation of Monopisthocotylean larvae while the third...
