Tilapia Nutrition

Tilapia have very low levels of mercury because it is a fast-growing and short-lived fish that mostly eats a vegetarian diet and therefore does not concentrate mercury found in prey.

Farm-raised tilapia has very low levels of omega-3, the primary fatty-acid nutritionists look for in fish, but high in omega-6 fatty acids. A diet with a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is suspected to cause inflammation. It is not clear if this poor ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is due to the corn and/or soy based diets typically fed to farm raised Tilapia, natural fatty acid levels, or a combination of the two.

Tilapia in Aquaria

Larger tilapia species are generally viewed as poor community aquarium fish because they eat plants, dig up the substrate and fight with other fish. The smaller West African species, such as Tilapia joka, and those species from the crater lakes of Cameroon are more popular. In specialized cichlid aquaria tilapias can be mixed successfully with non-territorial cichlids, armoured catfish, tinfoil barbs, garpike, and other robust but peaceful fish. Some species, including Tilapia buttikoferi, Tilapia rendalli,Tilapia mariae ,Tilapia joka, and the brackish-water Sarotherodon melanotheron melanotheron, have attractive patterns and are quite decorative.

Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the tilapiine cichlid tribe. Tilapia inhabit a variety of fresh water habitats including shallow streams, ponds, rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Most tilapia are omnivorous with a preference for soft aquatic vegetation and detritus. Historically they have been of major importance in artisanal fishing in Africa and the Levant, and are of increasing importance in aquaculture (see tilapia in aquaculture). Tilapia often become problematic invasive species in new habitats, whether deliberately or accidentally introduced. (See tilapia as exotic species).

Tilapia Farms for Sale

In 2005, research by the USDA Forest Service indicated that the rise in tilapia cultivation 500 to 1,000 years ago in what is now the southeastern United States contributed to the decline of freshwater mussels, which are very sensitive to environmental changes.

Tilapia Etymology

The common name tilapia is based on the name of the cichlid genus Tilapia, which is itself a latinization of thiape, the Tswana word for "fish." The genus name and term was first introduced by Scottish zoologist Andrew Smith in 1840.

Tilapia go by many names. The moniker "St. Peter's fish" comes from the account in the Christian Bible about the apostle Peter catching a fish that carried a shekel coin in its mouth, though the passage does not name the fish. While the name also applies to Zeus faber, a marine fish not found in the area, one tilapia species (Sarotherodon galilaeus galilaeus) is found in the Sea of Galilee where the account took place. This species has been the target of small-scale artisanal fisheries in the area for thousands of years. In some Asian countries including the Philippines, large tilapia go by pla-pla while their smaller brethren are just tilapia. The Hebrew name is amnoon (אמנון). The Arabic name is mushṭ (مشط) (comb) because of its comb-like tail. Tamil speakers use jilaebi .

Tilapia Aquaculture

Tilapia is the third most important fish in aquaculture after carps and salmonids, with production reaching 1,505,804 metric tons in 2002[7]. Because of their large size, rapid growth, and palatability, tilapiine cichlids are the focus of major aquaculture efforts, specifically various species of Oreochromis, Sarotherodon, and Tilapia, collectively known colloquially as tilapias. Like other large fish, they are a good source of protein and a popular target for artisanal and commercial fisheries. Originally, the majority of such fisheries were in Africa, but outdoor aquaculture projects in tropical countries such as Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Indonesia are underway in freshwater lakes.[2] In temperate zone localities, tilapiine farming operations require energy to warm the water to tropical temperatures. One method uses waste heat from factories and power stations.

Commercially grown tilapia are almost exclusively male. Being prolific breeders, female tilapia in the ponds/tanks will result in large populations of small fish. Whole Tilapia fish can be processed into skinless, boneless (PBO) fillets: the yield is from 30 percent to 37 percent.
