In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how broodstock nutrition shapes reproductive performance in Nile tilapia. We examine how protein levels, energy balance, fatty acid sources, and micronutrients regulate spawning success, larval quality, and survival. From cellular mechanisms to farm-scale outcomes, nutrition defines productivity. Discover how precise feed strategies can transform results and improve efficiency. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Broodstock nutrition in Nile tilapia and its implications on reproductive efficiency" by Engdaw, Flipos, and Akewake Geremew.
