Abstract
This study evaluated the effect obtained on feed efficiency in five treatments with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) using a Biofloc system at different densities. The specimens were placed in five containers with 250 L of water each (50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 respectively), and every 15 days 30 organisms were taken, weighed, and measured. At the end of the experiment, the length and weight gain of the fish were evaluated, and the AGR, IGR, KM, FCR, and FCE were obtained. A one-factor analysis of variance was applied to the data obtained to find significant differences (p
