The study evaluated muscle growth and performance in Nile tilapia fingerlings fed a restricted diet combined with phytoplankton in fertilized ponds. Four treatments were tested: 100% feed daily, 100% feed on alternate days, 50% feed daily + fertilization, and 50% feed on alternate days + fertilization. Fish were stocked at 19 fish/m² and fed a 45% protein diet. Ponds were fertilized weekly with superphosphate and ammonium sulfate, and water parameters were monitored. Growth, morphometrics, and histological analyses of dorsal and caudal muscles were performed at 0, 30, and 60 days. The 50% feed daily + fertilization treatment yielded similar weight gain, growth curves, and final lengths to the 100% feed daily group. Muscle growth through hyperplasia and hypertrophy was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the 50% feed daily + fertilization group, supporting diverse phytoplankton communities, especially Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, and Cyanobacteria. These findings indicate that restricting feed to 50% of body weight with weekly fertilization maintains fish development, reduces feed costs, and promotes muscle growth while enhancing phytoplankton diversity in ponds. This approach offers a sustainable and cost effective strategy for tilapia farming.
