Floating Tilapia Grower (502)

High quality formulated feeds are used to achieve high yields and large sized fish (600-900 g) within a short period of time.  The maximum size at harvest of Nile tilapia reared in ponds that are only fertilized is generally less than 250 g after 5 months of on growing.  Under semi-intensive farming systems, most tilapia farmers in Asia fertilize their ponds and use formulated feeds.
