    Tilapia Photoperiod

    Hello Friends,
    After pouring over some literature I stumbled upon a great article. I encourage all those that are intersted in maximizing thier tilapia production to check it out: Aquaculture Research, 2007, http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...8ZaUDg&cad=rja.
    In a nutshell the study concluded, "The number of eggs per female, number of eggs per spawn, and number of spawnings per female was significantly higher when the photo-period was 12D:12D (Kawanna).
