Stocking density is a major consideration for anyone starting out in aquaponics. as so many people have asked about the best density for crop production, dr. nate storey has given us an introduction to stocking density and some great advice that applies to starting, maintaining and managing a healthy and productive aquaponics system.. Production of fish ranged from 3.43 to 3.52 kg/m-1 and was inversely related with stocking density. the present study demonstrated that 106 fish/m3 was the best stocking density in terms of growth, food conversion ratio, survival and production for tilapia culture in the aquaponic system.. Production of fish ranged from 3.43 to 3.52 kg/m3 and was inversely related with stocking density. the present study demonstrated that 106 fish/m3 was the best stocking density in terms of growth,....
Check over 10 popular fish used in aquaponics systems. 4. stocking densities. stocking densities mean the fish amount you have kept in your system. you can not keep more than a specific amount of fish in the aquaponics system. otherwise, fish can even die due to low dissolved oxygen, high nitrite level or simply kill each other because of territorial behavior. some fish like tilapia breed rapidly and can overstock a system..
