Effects of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) stocking and artificial feeding on water quality and production in rohu–common carp bi-culture ponds

Previous research showed that stocking1.5 rohu (Labeo rohita) and 0.5 common carp (Cyprinus carpio) m-2 yields the highest production in small holder ponds in Bangladesh.The present studylooked into the e¡ects of additional stocking of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis nilotica) in fed or non-fed ponds...
