Effects of long term and continuous magnetic field exposure on the water properties, growth performance, plasma biochemistry and body composition of tilapia in a recirculating aquaculture system

A 70-day study was conductedto determine the effects of continuous exposure of magnetized water on red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis sp.). Triplicate groups of tilapia (7.16 ± 0.05 g) were tested with increasing amounts of magnetized water intensity (0.00, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 T). At the end of the exp...

Description
Summary:A 70-day study was conductedto determine the effects of continuous exposure of magnetized water on red hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis sp.). Triplicate groups of tilapia (7.16 ± 0.05 g) were tested with increasing amounts of magnetized water intensity (0.00, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 T). At the end of the experiment, the growth, feeding efficiency, whole-body proximate composition, water quality, and plasma parameters were measured. Although the survival was unaffected by the magnetised water level, the weight gain and specific growth rate significantly increased (P
