climbing perch in cages suspended in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus 1758) ponds in Vietnam. However, study for optimization of climbing perch density in pond aquaculture is lacking. Such information is necessary for maximum utilization of resource (aquaculture ponds). Considering the above issue, the present study was conducted to understand the production performance of Thai climbing perch in ponds under different stocking densities. The objective of this study was to understand the effects of different stocking density of Thai climbing perch on its growth, survival and production under artificially fed ponds.
