Length-weight relationship and prediction equations of body composition for growing-finishing cage-farmed Nile tilapia

The objective of the present study was to develop models for predicting live weight from the length-weight relationship and body composition of Nile tilapia. A total of 3,000 juvenile fish (initial weight = 28.6±4.16 g and standard length = 13.8±0.16 cm) were distributed into three circular cages (1...
