| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the prevailing water quality parameters, plankton communities , total production and economic returns of grey mullet ( Mugil cephalus)fingerlings ,reared at three different stocking densities in monoculture system under Egyptian condition. Fish were stocked at three denities of 1 fish/m (SD1), 2 fish/m (SD2) and 3 fish/m (SD3). Average initial weight of mullet fingerlings was 10±0.20 g. The present study was conducted at 6 earthen ponds each 5000m. The duration of the experiment lasted 8 month. Results showed that there was significant differences (P< 0.05) between (SD1 and SD2) and (SD3) on growth performance, which decreased as stocking densities increased . The highest final mean weight of fish resulted from (SD1) followed by (SD2) and (SD3), however the total fish yield increased with increase of the stocking density but with no increases in profitability compared to the lowest stocking rate 1fish/m. Based on the obtained results and economical evaluation it could be recommended that, the best stoking rate of grey mullet (M.cephalus ) fingerlings during rearing period. was 2 fish /m (SD2) under the experimental condition in the new desert areas. |
