N2  - Two experiments were carried out to evaluate the possibility of using Triple  super phosphate (TSP), 16:20, Rice bran and Duck manure as phosphorus sources  in formulated fish feeds for Nile tilapia and to evaluate t he toxic effect of TSP  on Nile tilapia. All male sex reversed Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus, 9.39- 10.37g) were used in both the experiments. Experiment 1 was conducted in  netcages suspended in fertilized earthen ponds. Seven treatments including one  non-feed treatment were used in this experiment: Treatment l(No-feed), treatment  2(-P) where fish fed with phosp horus non-supplemented diet acted as control 1  and treatments 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 where fish fed with 3 % Dicalcium phosphate  (DCP), 3 % TSP, 7 % 16:20 fertilizer, 30 % Rice bran and 30 % Duck manure  supplemented diet respectively. Results s howed that the TSP and fertilizer 16:20  supplementation in diets as phosphorus sources were equivelent to DCP in terms  of growth performence, feed utilization efficiency and final body composition of  Nile tilapia. Rice bran and Duck manure were found not good phosphorus sources.  Experiment 2 was conducted in recirculation water system to evaluate toxic  effect of TSP on Nile tilapia by including 1-5 % of diet. Results indicates that the  addition of TSP to feeds resulted in no mortality and toxic symptom on Nile tilapia  upto 5 % inclusion level and hig hest growth performance and feed utilization  efficiency obtained at 4 % Supplementation level in diet
