Abstract
Growth indices (WG and SGR), food (FCR) and protein efficiency (PER and PCE) of fingerling Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus,were evaluated in 3 synchronous examinations with 12 treatments in triplicates. Groups of control, canola meal (at rates of 25, 50, 75 and 100%), cottonseed meal (at rates of 15, 25, 35 and 45%), as the replacements of expensive protein sources (fish meal and soybean meal), and azolla (at rates of 13, 21 and 29% of diet) were studied. Growth indices, total food intake and protein intake of the control were the highest of all. They decreased with increase in plant protein in every group (p<0.05). FCR and protein efficiency indices didn’t show significant differences (p>0.05) between control and canola meal (at rates of 25 and 50%), cottonseed meal (at rates of 15, 25 and 35%) and azolla (at rates of 13 and 21%). Total food intake, protein consumption and growth indices decreased, because all plant protein ingredients were unpalatable. If the problem of palatability is solved, it seems that the expensive protein sources replace with canola meal and cottonseed meal at the rates of 50 and 35% respectively, and azolla can be used at the rate of 21% in diets.

Abstract
Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of stocking density on growth and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromisniloticus) in brackish water earthen pond. Fish with initial weight of 13 g kept in three stocking density 3, 6 and 9 fish/m2 in duplicates and were fed on rainbow trout feed for 105 days during the light period. The results showed significant reduction in final weight, weight gain, daily growth rate, specific growth rate and survival by increasing stocking density, while feed conversion ratio enhanced in higher stocking densities (p< 0.05). Among the treatments evaluated, 3 fish/m2 showed the best growth rate and survival, and the lowest feed conversion ratio. So, it seems that to achieve the highest profit, the stocking density of 3 fish/m2 is suitable for culturing of tilapia in earthen pond.

Abstract
Biofloc technology has mentioned as a new tool for sustainable aquaculture development and has overcome the problems of water scarcity and discharge of aquaculture effluents to the environment. In this system, nitrogenous wastes (Ammonia and Ammonium) are simultaneously recovered by bacteria and converted into microbial proteins that can be consumed by aquatic animals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the production of biofloc and evaluate it for use in aquaculture. The effect of different temperature levels (24, 28, 32 °C), salinity (0, 4, 8 g/l) ,and C/N ratio (10:1, 15:1, 20:1) which are the main key factors to the formation and function of biofloc system was evaluated by using a response surface method designing. Moreover, the influence of those factors on total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, floc volume, protein, and lipid content of biofloc was investigated. The results showed that the temperature had a significant effect on floc volume and protein content of biofloc (P < 0.05), but it had no significant effect on other nitrogenous compounds and lipid content (p > 0.05). The protein, lipid and moisture of biofloc particles were decreased by increasing salinity significantly (P < 0.05). Also, TAN and nitrite concentration influenced by C/N ratio inversely. According to the factors Optimization, providing 27 °C and C/N ratio of 18:1 in brackish water and 29 °C and C/N ratio of 14:1 in fresh water resulted in high quality biofloc production and control of nitrogenous wastes in water.
