Standardization of Technical Feasibility of Infrastructure and Equipment for Black Tilapia Seed Production
Friday, January 12, 2024
The production of black tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Bleeker) seed class is formulated as an effort to improve quality assurance and food safety, considering that black tilapia seeds are widely traded and have a great influence on cultivation activities so that certain technical requirements are needed.
Production of black tilapia seed grade scatter seed.
Production requirements:
Aquaculture pond.
