The effect of stocking density and copper sulfate exposure on the oxygen consumption of tilapia nilotica fingerlings
The effects of stocking density and exposure to copper sulfate on the oxygen consumption of Tilapia nilotica fingerlings were investigated using a static assay system. Fingerlings with a mean weight of 4.47 grams were stocked at 0.880 gram/cm/1/fish and 0.228 gram/cm/1/fish. Fingerlings were exposed...

| Summary: | The effects of stocking density and exposure to copper sulfate on the oxygen consumption of Tilapia nilotica fingerlings were investigated using a static assay system. Fingerlings with a mean weight of 4.47 grams were stocked at 0.880 gram/cm/1/fish and 0.228 gram/cm/1/fish. Fingerlings were exposed to copper sulfate concentrations of 30 mg/1 and 60 mg/1 during the testing period.Results of the study showed that exposure to increasing concentrations of copper sulfate increased significantly (p 0.05) the oxygen consumption of the fingerlings. The interaction of stocking density and copper sulfate concentration did not have a significant (p 0.05) effect on the rate of oxygen consumption of the fingerlings. |
