Abstract

The experiment was conducted at the hatchery unit of University Putra Malaysia Bintulu to investigate the growth performance and survival rates of Red Tilapia Oreochroniis sp. Grown in 4 levels of water salinities. The four-salinities levels are 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. Red Tilapia fingerlings weighing 0.12 to 6.8 g were cultured in tanks for 56 days. The growth of Red Tilapia was better in freshwater than brackishwater. The highest mean increase in total length and body weight of Red Tilapia was achieved by 0%o with 5.20 cm increase in length and 2.23 g in weight compared to other salinity levels and the survival rates of red tilapia was highest in brackishwater (15%0) with (25.04%) compared to 0%o (24.48%). The growth of Red Tilapia is found to be better in untreated water (0%0)
