  With a view to assess the suitability of mono-sex Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture using downstream flow from hills by observing their growth, survival and production in watershed pond, an experiment was carried out in a commercial aquaculture farm Mrittika Fisheries, Odolia, Hathazary, Chittagong. The duration of {each} culture period was 4 months. Stocking densities of the three culture ponds were same as, 10 individuals/m2. All the fish were of same age group having mean body weight about 1.2 gm. A commercial pellet feeds were used at the rate of 20% of body weight during first 15 days and then the feeding rate was reduced to 18%, 15%, 12%, 10%, 8%, 6%, and 5%, receptively with 15 days interval and the measured survival rate of fish was 84.33%, 77%, 72.33%, 69%, 66.33%, 65%, 63.67%, and 62.67% receptively in 15 days interval.
