- Abstract
The article discusses the effects of clear plastic pond sheeting on water temperature and growth of Tilapia rendalli in earthen ponds. Temperatures are generally below 22 degrees Celcius in most areas of the lakeshore region in Malawi. The study being presented in the article was carried out in six 200 m2 eathen ponds with an average water depth of 0.7 m at Bunda College Fish Farm in Malawi, Southern Africa. Clear plastic sheetings were installed about 50 cm above the water surface that covers 0 percent, 50 percent and 80 percent of the pond area. Each of these treatments were done in duplicate. Details of the study are also provided in the article.
