Abstract
Fertilizing the ponds with Vermicompost did not affect the survival rate (P = 0.630) when 0, 3000 and 6000 g of fertilizer were included per pond. The final weight, the weight gain and the percentage of weight gain, the specific daily growth rate, the feed conversion ratio were different between the fertilization treatments with 0, 3000, and 6000 g/bag of Vermicompost and ponds. The higher yields are observed when fertilized with 3000 g/bag of Vermicompost and ponds. Vermicompost fertilization not affect water quality. The water quality, under the conditions of this study, has been classified within good quality parameters for the culture of red tilapia. In conclusion, vermicompost inclusion as a feed fertilizer for water microorganisms, will serve as natural feed for the general development of Nile tilapias, and contributes to promoting the production of plankton in adequate quantities. Water quality is one of the important factors form successful pond fish culture and the inclusion of vermicompost not will alter its physical-chemical parameters, allowing a fast and normal growing of this species.
