Six fish densities 100 con m2 125 con m2 150 con m2 175 con m2 200 con m2 and 225 con m2 and two feeding levels were conducted in 3 replicates. Experimental period was 90 days and recording was conducted every month. The differences in survival rate and growth rate were eva- luated by ANOVA analysis in Minitab. Fish density influenced significantly on first-month survival and whole nursing period while it did not influence significantly on second-month and third-month survival. Fish density influenced significantly on growth rate in term of body weight body length and SGR in all nursing period. Feeding level did not influence significantly on survival. Feeding level influenced significantly on body weight and body length at high fish density in the first month third month and at most of treaments for whole nursing period. Fish density of 100 con m2 was optimal in this study and in addition feeding at level 1 8 7 6 body weight day according to month one two and three or level 2 7 6 5 body weight day according to month one two and three resulted in high survival high growth rate and low FCR.
