The effects of two fish species mullet, Mugil cephalus, and tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in polyculture with white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, on system performances: A comparative study

A comparative study was carried out to compare the effect of caging mullet and tilapia in a shrimp polyculture system. In six shrimp tanks (three tanks for each fish species), either mullet, Mugil cephalus (CCT-SM), or tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (CCT-ST), was stocked in cages. In three other tanks, mullets were allowed to roam freely in shrimp tanks (D-SM). White shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (0.50 g), was cultured as the predominant species...
