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?)
