Comparison between cage and pond production of Thai Climbing perch and Tilapia
limited resources to include small amount of high-valued species in their ponds to generate more income
and improve their livelihood. There are a very few literatures on the integrated cage and pond production
of Climbing Perch and/or Tilapia. So, present workwas undertaken to fill up the gap of the available
information on the integrated cage and pond production system of Climbing Perch and Tilapia. The
specific objectives of the research were- to identify the suitable culture system of Thai Climbing perch and
Tilapia among integrated cage-ponds and mixed pond culture systems, to assess growth and production
and the impact of these systems on pond ecology, identify the problems, needs and opportunities of
cage-pond aquaculture for promoting Thai Climbing Perch and Tilapia culture technology and to compare
the economic benefits of these systems.
