Anon.
Milkfish fingerlings (1.3 g ave. body weight) were cultured by plankton method with water depth ranging from about 65 cm to 110 cm for 123 days. Results showed an average growth rate of 1.4 g/day at a stocking density of 4,000/ha., 1.2 g/day at 5,000/ha, and 1.0 g/day at 6,000/ha. Results of milkfish fingerlings (15.4 g ave. body weight) cultured by lablab method with supplemental feeding after a two-month culture period showed a higher growth rate than that cultured with lablab only. Among the supplemental feeds, the mixture of trash fish and rice bran showed the best results with 1.7 g growth rate per day, followed by rice bran with 1.2 g, and trash fish with 0.8 g.
