Derribew Hailu, Mathewos Hailu

This study was initiated to demonstrate and popularize Oreochromis niloticus multiplication technologies in Wayu Tuqa (East wolega zone) during the 2019/20 production season. A selected strain of Oreochomis niloticus, A Tilapia with good growth performance was demonstrated for fingerling production. The pond size was 10m x 10m replicated on FTC fields. The result of descriptive statistics shows that a mean yield of 1200 fingerling hapa-1 was recorded. Since aquaculture is at its infant stage in the area, Oreochromis niolicus of Chamo strain can be evaluated for its growth performance and stress resistance in the area. Large production of fingerlings in a hapa in the area can easily avail fingerling in the area, which increases the income as well as the livelihood of the Aquaculture farming in the area. Therefore, organizations should further scale up/out the fish multiplication technology in the study districts and other similar areas to reach a greater number of farmers.
