This study investigated the growth performance and cost-effectiveness in producing an average of 2.0 g Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings using a farm-made tilapia starter diet (ARDECFEED) and two commonly used commercial ones (MULTIFEED and RAANAN) by tilapia hatchery operators in Ghana.
The mycelia growth rate, physical characteristics of first flush, number of flushes and biological efficiency of twenty three exotic strains of eight Pleurotus species grown on composted sawdust of Triplochiton scleroxylon K (Schum) were studied.
