Culture and economics of wild grouper (Epinephelus coioides) using three feed types in ponds
(Elsevier, 2001)
The performance of wild Epinephelus coioides juveniles was compared by feeding with live tilapia juveniles, fish by-catch, and formulated diet for 5 months in grow-out ponds. To minimize cannibalism, the groupers were ...
