Potential Application of Linear Programming Method and Solid‐State Fermentation in Improving the Quality of Fish Feed and Profits of Small‐Scale Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Farming in Tanzania

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The scarcity of affordable and high‐quality fish feeds limits aquaculture development in many developing countries. The present study assessed the use of linear programming (LP) techniques for formulating Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets and solid‐state fermentation (SSF) technology to improve their nutritional value.
