Main article
The whole protocol in one article: pond preparation, stocking, the first 25 days, care until harvest, disease prevention and sale. Every page in this section follows it.
Summarised from the original papers. Figures are the results of those studies, not a promise for every pond.
857 fry, advanced fry and fingerlings examined from March 2018 to January 2019. Nine parasite genera were found; Trichodina occurred at every stage, while the monogenean Dactylogyrus appeared from the advanced-fry stage on.

Can Tho University Journal of Science 56(5B)In tanks for 60 days: the upper and lower temperature thresholds of fry were 35 °C and 21 °C. The authors suggest rearing at 27–33 °C, optimum 30 °C; at 24 °C and 36 °C fish were stressed and grew slowly.
