Province, were selected for the investigation of management practices
and yields of marble goby, Oxyeleotris marmoratus, in integrated
culture with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The research
took place from February to May, 2007. The observed production of O.
marmoratus in integrated aquaculture ponds indicated a wide range
of management practices. The yields of Oxyeleotris marmoratus were
between 22.1 to 316 kg ha-1 (average 81 ±78 kg ha-1).
The farmers tended to prefer Oxyeleotris marmoratus not only as
a by-product, but also as the main product from their ponds. Most farmers
realized that Oxyeleotris marmoratus predate Nile tilapia fingerlings
from the natural spawning of mature Nile tilapia in the ponds. With respect
to consumed prey, the frequency of occurrence of prawns was 73.3%, whilst
that of small fish was 43.3%. In terms of prey biomass, prawns were also
the most abundant food item, giving the relative abundance of 56.0%. A
preliminary trial on predation pressure was conducted to confirm the role
of Nile tilapia fingerling as live feed for Oxyeleotris marmoratus
in integrated aquaculture ponds and it was found that the daily predation
pressure was between 1.90 to 2.46 fish day-1.]]>APHA,198517th Edn.,Pages: 1268Pages: 1268Bardach, J.E., J.H. Ryther and W.O.
