| dc.description.abstract | We present results of a long-term study aimed to optimize Nile tilapia O. niloticus production in a
recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) in México City. Three experiments were evaluated: 1) fry
production; 2) production of masculinized fries; and 3) assessment of growth under three different
densities (10, 30 and 75 fish/m3). The broodstock produced on average 2400 ± 600 fry every
15 days during six months, with a total production of 28,800 ± 2000. One hundred percent males
were produced in 274-L raceways in an eight-week period. The obtained results in fish production
in the RAS system indicated variations related to density. A daily growth rate of 3.6 g/day was registered
with a density of 10 fish/m3, 0.9 g/day in 30 fish/m3 and 0.4 g/day in 75 fish/m3. This information
could be useful for production purposes in this type of systems. | en_US |
