Survival rate of fish during the experimental period was ranged from 57.67 to 71%, the lowest value 57.67% was observed in T4 and the highest value 71%was observed in T1(Table 3). Hasan et al (2010) reported that survival rate of same fish species in nylon hapas ranged from 73% to 83%, which was higher than the present study. Noor (2005) found that survival rate of the species was 81.67% for 50 days experimental period in ponds with a handmade feed. Osofero et al (2009) found that the survival rate of 98 to 99.5%, for tilapia (O. niloticus) during 91days culture in cages which is higher than the present study.
