Tilapia culture in floating net cage is now a common practice all around the world. but Silver carp with Tilapia in net cage is a bit difficult as because Phytoplankton is essential for proper growth of silver carp. if it will be rared in a cage with floating feed then what will be the feed competition among the two different species.
