Abstract:

Intensive tilapia co-culture is the commercial production of various species of tilapia in conjunction with one or more other marketable species. Tilapia are attractive as a co-cultured fish because of their potential to improve water quality, . especially in penaeid shrimp ponds, by consuming plankton and detritus and by altering pathogenic bacterial populations while increasing marketable production.

Following introductory chapters covering ecological aspects of co-culture, tilapia feeding habits, historical use, and new models, Tilapia in Intensive Co-culture is then divided into co-culture in freshwater and marine environments. Co-culture core information is presented on Vibrio control, high-rate aquaculture processes, aquaponics, tilapia nutrient profile, and tilapia niche economics and marketing in the United States, and with carp, catfish, freshwater and marine shrimp in the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia.

Peter W. Perschbacher is retired Associate Professor of Aquaculture and Fisheries at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, USA.

Robert R. Stickney is Professor Emeritus Oceanography and former Sea Grant Director at Texas A & M University in College Station, USA. --Book Jacket.
