They could also be in the gills. Please poke the cysts and see if a small worm comes out. You should also look at the gills and check the kidney for similar cysts. If it is trematodes, I will let you know more about my experience with these; mostly in Rwanda which is not too far from you. We had similar problems in Kenya but were able to manage around it.

Ils peuvent également se présenter sous les branchies. S'il vous plaît fouiller les kystes et de voir si un petit ver sort. Vous devriez aussi regarder les branchies et vérifier le rein pour les kystes semblables. Si elle est trématodes, je vous le ferai savoir plus sur mon expérience avec ces; la plupart du temps au Rwanda qui est pas trop loin de vous. Nous avons eu des problèmes similaires au Kenya mais nous avons pu gérer autour d'elle. Karen L.

Nice evening See below for more details LULIJWA Ronald Aquaculture Scientist National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO) Rwebitaba Zonal Agricultural Research and Development Institute. P. O.

These fish receive a supplementary diet made of formulated floating feed, and there has been no cases of mortality but that is the first case sofar reported. The stocking density is low and fingerlings size is about 5g, originating from the same farm. Thank you Lulijwa Ronald Msc Aquaculture Bsc Fisheries and Aquaculture Chers membres, Pouvait-on connu ces lésions en alevins de tilapia Le cas échéant, ce qui pourrait être la cause possible (fongique ou bactérienne?)
