  In this study, the growth performance and survival rate of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to different feeding frequencies were evaluated in cage culture. Juveniles with mean initial weight of 35.99 ± 0.23g were stocked in 1 m3 net cages and assigned to a duplicate of 50 fish in a completely randomized design in six treatments. T1 were fed 3% of their body weight divided into four equal meals per day for the first three months and then allowed to feed two times a day for the next three months; T2 and T3 were fed 3% of their body weight divided equally at frequency of four and two feedings/day, respectively, throughout the experiment. Feed was given once a day (without dividing) for T4 and once every other day (without dividing) for T5 throughout the experiment. All treatments were fed pelleted diet except the control groups in which fish were.. View More»
