The use of aquatic organisms for cultivation at high density as a means to increase productivity has become an important trend for fish farmers worldwide. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of different culture densities on the biochemical and hematological parameters in juvenile O. niloticus individuals cultured in a production system with biofloc technology. We worked with three treatments, in the following initial loads: 3.12, 8.42 and 15.57 Kg/m3 (T1, T2 and T3, respectively), in a volume of water of 250 L and average total weight of 88.9 ± 2.54 g. The treatments were maintained in a C: N ratio of 15: 1. The experiment lasted 57 days, and in this course three samples were taken (at the beginning, intermediate, and end of the experiment), by puncture of the caudal vein. We extracted 0.5 mL of 20% of the population for each tanque to quantify biochemical parameters, and 0.5 mL of another 20% of the population to quantify hematological parameters through standardized methods. Biweekly biometries were performed to evaluate the productive performance of the tilapia. The results showed an increase in the biochemical and hematological parameters at the beginning of the experiment in the three treatments, with a decrease towards the end of the experiment in the levels of cortisol, hemoglobin, hematocrit and in the erythrocyte count. There were significant differences in temperature, conductivity and sedimentable solids of T1 and T2 versus T3; while differences were determined between all the treatments in dissolved oxygen, percentage of saturation, pH, total ammonia nitrogen and non-ionized ammonium and nitrate (p <0.05). However, the data obtained are within the optimum range for the cultivation, except for electrical conductivity. The results referring to productive parameters indicated growth inhibition in the three treatments during the first 4 weeks, after which there was an increase in weight, reaching T2 and T3 greater weight gain, with respect to T1. In turn, survival of more than 95% was obtained in all treatments.
