Abstract
Densities of 9 tilapia (hybrid Oreochromis mossambicus x O. urolepis h ornorum)/m(3) gave the highest production among five densities(1, 3, 6 , 9, and 12 fish/m(3)) rested in a pulsed-flow culture system. Culture of fish in irrigation ditches may have great potential for integratin g fish farming with irrigated agriculture. Each 1,000 meters of ditch could potentially produce up to 1,400 kg of tilapia during a 112-d gro wing season.
