AB  - The growth, survival and breeding performance of Oreochromisniloticus and Oreochromis macrochir was investigated in earthenponds under greenhouse conditions at Henderson Research Institute. Sixexperimental ponds, three in open atmosphere and three under greenhouses wereset up. Each pond was further subdivided by hapas to make 12 experimental unitsof which half were stocked with Oreochromis niloticus and the other Oreochromismacrochir. Fish weights and lengths were recorded fortnightly and feedintake was based on current biomass. Fish sex and breeding activities werenoted. Results showed that mean weight gain for O. niloticus wassignificantly higher than O. macrochir both in greenhouse ponds and openponds. Feed intake was also higher leading to greater weight gains in thegreenhouse than in open ponds. Growth performance of both species improvedsignificantly under greenhouse culture but O. niloticus was muchsuperior compared to O. macrochir. Even O. niloticus cultured inopen ponds had superior performance to O. macrochir cultured ingreenhouse ponds. Turbidity, alkalinity and sulphates had positive correlationwith the weight and length of O. macrochir in open ponds. The studyresults demonstrated that the greenhouse can enhance growth performance of O.niloticus and O. macrochir in climatic considered less favourablefor tilapia culture.
