Effect of fermented kitchen waste on tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) growth performance and water quality as a water additive

Aquaculture contributes about 20% of domestic fish production in Malaysia. Tilapia has been identified as one of the main species for freshwater aquaculture in the Third National Agriculture Policy (DPN3). However, feed cost and water quality management remain as two major challenges to the industry...
