Abstract
A study on cultivation of mullet (Mugil cephalus) in one feddan earthen ponds (4200 m2 each) was done. Twelve rectangular earthen ponds were used representing six treatments, three different stocking densities (SD1, SD2 and SD3 being 10000, 12000 and 14000fish/feddan, respectively) within each of them two fish size (FS1 and FS2 , being 10.05 ± 0.12 and 20.03 ± 0.30 g,  respectively). Two replicates were used for each treatment. The duration of the experiment was 12 months. The treatment of 12000 fish / feddan with 20 g/ fish showed the best results of marketable size, net yield (6562.58kg/feddan) and highest profit index (1.54 L.E). Based on the obtained results, it could be recommended that the best fish size and stocking density of mullet (M.cephalus) are 20 g/ fish and 12000 fish/feddan to get the optimal marketable fish size and economical return under pond farm management conditions
