dc.description.abstractA major problem of pond-cultured tilapia is excessive reproduction, and subsequent stunting of fish due to overcrowding. To combat this problem a pond may be stocked with all-male fish. This technique is monosex culture and is used when large fish are required by the market. Males are preferred because they grow almost twice as fast as females. The result is more protein and profit for the farmer.en_US
dc.description.abstractL'un des principaux problèmes concernant l'élevage du tilapia en étang réside dans sa reproduction excessive, et le ralentissement consécutif de la croissance du poisson par suite de surpeuplement. Pour écarter ce problème, on peut introduire dans l'étang des poissons "tous mâles". Cette technique est appelée élevage monosexe. Elle est utilisée quand le marché exige des poissons de grande taille. Les mâles sont préférables car ils croissent presque deux fois plus vite que les femelles. Le résultat se traduit par davantage de protéines, donc davantage de profit pour l'éleveur.fr
dc.description.abstractEl mayor problema del cultivo de tilapia en estanques es su excesiva reproducción, lo que causa la sobrepoblación del estanque y en consecuencia la disminución del crecimiento de los peces. Para prevenir este problema, los estanques deben sembrarse únicamente con ejemplares machos. Esta técnica se llama cultivo monosexo de tilapia y se utiliza cuando se necesita producir peces grandes para el mercado. Los machos se escogen porque crecen casi el doble que las hembras. El resultado del cultivo monosexo es una mejor fuente de proteína y una mayor ganancia para el piscicultor.es
