The inserted video was filmed in a private fish farm in Togo showing the stocking of all-male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings of about 3 to 5 gram as an average weight. Typically, the stocking rate in such system is around three fingerlings/m2 whereas the growing season lasts about six months. The feed used in such farms is extruded feed which is imported from either France or Ghana.
