Description:
Tilapia is one of the most important cultured fish in the world. World production of tilapia is highly increased in
recent decades. Tilapias can live in different aquatic ecosystems due to their reproductive strategies. On the other
hand, the gap between seed supplies and farmers' demand is one of the most serious limitations for tilapia
culturists. Notice about different effective agents on tilapia reproduction aspects might be useful for increasing
of production and better management of tilapia hatcheries. Studies about tilapia were started in Iran from
November 2008 for the first time. Some reproductive normative of cultured tilapia in brackishwater were
defined. In the present study, sex ratio, stocking density, photoperiod, water salinty and replacement period of
female brooders of the Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus were investigated. Studied reproduction indices
showed sex ratio 1:1 (F:M), stocking density 5/m3, photoperiod 12:12 (L:D), 8ppm water salinity and 10 days
replacement of brooders were suitable.
