Production data for each stocking density is presented in Table 1, where it revealed the highestweight gain (157.85 ± 36.54
a
) for
Clarias gariepinus
atthe highest stocking density whereas the least value(138.04 ± 30.5
c
) was recorded at the lowest stockingdensity.
Oreochromis niloticus
recorded its highestmean weight gain at the lowest stocking density (35.23± 3.5
a
), while the least weight gain was recorded at thehighest stocking density (22.36 ± 3.93
c
). There was asignificant difference (
P
< 0.05) among the meanweight gain records at various stocking densities. Thesame table revealed that at the intermediate stockingdensity the highest specific growth rate (SGR) value(4.41 ± 1.34
a
) for
C. gariepinus
, was succeeded byvalues of (4.25 ± 1.3
ab
) and (4.23 ± 1.3
ab
) recorded atthe highest and lowest stocking densities respectively.Specific growth rate for
O. niloticus
, recorded itshighest value at the intermediate stocking density(2.04 ± 0.73
a
), and was succeeded by records at thelowest stocking density (1.6 ± 0.54
b
), while the leastdata was realized at the highest stocking density (1.01
