Potential yield (crops/y) of Nile tilapia fed at 75% satiation and harvested at 300 g
Spatial distribution of potential yield (crops/y) of Nile tilapia fed at 75% satiation and harvested at 300g. Yield estimations for Nile tilapia were based on water temperature which in turn were predicted from air temperature. Mean maximum and minimum monthly air temperatures grids were provide by FAO's Agrometeorology group. In order to explore a range of commercial aquaculture possibilities by the use of the growth model, simulations were conducted for Nile tilapia, assuming two different feeding levels and two harvesting weights (300 and 600 g). Feed application rates corresponding to 50% and 75% satiation were assumed to represent commercial aquaculture operations with low and high feeding rates, respectively.
