Table 2, The survival rates came from counting the number of fish.
In slurry pond, the stocking number of Tilapia was 821, but the number
of fish harvested was 9,080. Here a footnote was missing. It should add a
symbol of ** to indicate that there were 8,259 fingerlings, which were
self reproduced plus the stocked 821, and the total should be 9,080.
 

>(2) Table 8 from Taixian County is much more clear, however am I right
>in assuming that Small Amount should read Sub Total in English ?
>a Chinese speaking friend suggests the characters would read the same.

About Table 8, you are right. Small amount should be subtotal.
Thank you
