| Abstract | Attempts were made to cultivate Tilapia nilotica in a stagnant waste stabilization pond fed with septic tank and cesspool sludge. The maximum fish yield was obtained from the pond fed with septic tank sludge at 100 kg COD/ha-day loading and 5 fish stocke d/m , within. the culture period of 3 months. The extrapolated fish yield was 6,833 kg/ha-year, but this should not be considered as conclusive since alternative strategies of sludge loading and stocking density could produce higher yields. This study indicates the potential for septic tank and cesspool sludge recycling into fish. |
