Abstract
Growth performance of the brown spotted grouper
Epinephelus tauvina
(Forsskal) was evaluated under cage culture in
brackishwater ecosystem. Juveniles of grouper were stocked in a stationary net cage @ 6 nos./m
2
having an initial mean total
length of 143 mm and mean body weight of 43.6 g. After seven months culture period, fish attained mean total length and
mean body weight of 365 mm and 618 g respectively. The fish gained total length increment of 222 mm and body weight of
575.4 g with daily average length and average weight increments of 1.06 mm and 2.73 g respectively. The growth rate
recorded in this study showed promising results for large scale farming of this species in cages.
