Popis: Growth performance and survival of grey mullet (Liza falcipinnis) cultured in brackish water was carried out with the aim of providing information on the growth response and survival of L. falcipinnis under different stocking densities. Four different stocking densities 15, 30,60, and 90 fish per 65 liters plastic tank. Twelve plastic tanks each measuring 0.60mx0.36m was used for the culture arranged in a randomized complete block design with each treatment replicated three times. Data collected were subjected to one way analysis of variance and means were separated using Duncan multiple range test at 5% probability level. The result obtained indicated mean total weight gain decreased with increasing stocking density. The higher mean weight gains were recorded in T1 and T2, respectively. Absolute growth rate and yield showed significant difference (p
