Tilapia is a fish that has been raised for centuries with little fanfare. In recent years with the worldwide
emergence of aquaculture, increased attention is being focused on tilapia because of its superior culture
possibilities. Reportedly more than one 1 billion pounds of Tilapia were raised last year. These fish are ideally suited for aquaculture because they are disease-resistant, reproduce easily, feed efficiently, and can tolerate poor water conditions.
