Evaluation of the impact of Agricultural by-products on the Integrated Production of Merchantable Tilapia Oreochromis Niloticus (Linné, 1758) and rice (Oryza Glaberrima, Steud, 1853) in Bonoufla, Côte d'Ivoire
The trials involved 60,132 GBEBI rice (Oryza glaberrima) seedlings and 4,703 tilapia juveniles with an average weight of 38 ±9.16 g fed with two complementary diets: (AC), (ASF) and a natural food (AN). Stocking density was 1.5 fish/m2. Nine ponds were used, 3 of which were randomly allocated to each feeding treatment to assess fish growth and rice production. Daily rations of 3% of the reared fish biomass were distributed in two meals (9 am and 3 pm). Rice seedlings were transplanted at a spacing of 25 cm x 20 cm.
