The fingerlings (11.44 ± 1.33 cm; 8.05 ± 3.27 g) were stocked at three stocking densities, viz., 15, 25 and 35 fingerlings m-3 in GI cages (32m3) in triplicates. Commercial floating pellets were fed to fish at 5-3% of fish biomass. The results indicated that the fishes at the lowest stocking density of 15 fingerlings m-3 had significantly higher (p 0.05) between stocking densities of 15 fingerlings m-3 and 25 fingerlings m-3. The condition factor was insignificantly higher at lower densities and its values close to 1 indicated congeniality of reservoir ecosystem for cage culture of the species. The coefficient of variation of weight was significantly higher (24.19 ± 1.20) at 35 fingerlings m-3. The highest economic gains in terml in cages and will be a step towards much needed species diversification for sustainable small scale cage farming in tropical reservoirs of Asia.The methane production rate of high solid anaerobic digestion (HSAD) was poor although it was a promising technology with the advantages of small reactor, low energy consumption, and less digestate. In our research before, thermal treatment was proved to enhance HSAD's methane production rate via both batch experiments and continuous experiments of swine manure. However, the effect or investigation of thermal treatment's temperature-time combinations was not yet reported. In this study, swine manure was firstly thermally treated in 500-mL glass bottles with 400-mL work volume at 45-65 °C for 1-4 days. HSAD experiment of 10% solid content was then set up. The VS ratio of substrate to inoculum was 11. Thermal treatment at 45 °C (3 days), 55 °C (1 day), and 65 °C (3
