Stocking density, growth, and survival of Hoplobatrachus occipitalis froglets in captivity
Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability
Stocking density is one of the most important factors to consider when rearing anurans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of stocking density on the survival and growth of Hoplobatrachus occipitalis (Günther, 1858) froglets reared in captivity. The experiment was conducted in circula…
