Abstract:

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the culture performance of mono-sex and mixed-sex tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in semi-intensive integrated pond system. The experiment was conducted in three earthen ponds for a period of 320 days. In pond-1 (P1), 100 males and in pond-2 (P2), 100 female, while in pond-3 (P3), 50 male and 50 female tilapias were stocked. Fertilization of all the ponds were done with cowdung at the rate of 0.2 g N 100 g-1 wet fish body weight daily. The net fish production was calculated as 1148.0, 994.0 and 842.1 kg ha-1 year-1 in P1, P2 and P3 pond, respectively. Males (?) tilapia caused a significant (P
