Replication Data for: Can individual feed conversion ratio at commercial size be predicted from juvenile performance in individually reared Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus?

Abstract

We obtained individual FCR from 30 male Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus from the GIFT strain individually reared in a recirculating system, starting with 36 g juveniles up to 260 g mean weight. They were fed twice a day and all uneaten pellets were counted every day to accurately determine the feed intake of each individual fish. Individual growth was monitored every week. Feed conversion ratio was estimated over two-week periods and over the whole rearing period (210 days).
