The manual is divided into five major sections dealing with: 1) general biology, including natural feeding habits and reproduction. 2) artificial reproduction, including induced propagation without and through hormone injection. 3) fry nursing in earthen ponds, including pond prepagation, fertilization, feeding and management. 4) monoculture, including feeding methods. 5) polyculture with Tilapia.
