Tilapia For Aquaculture

Oreochromis melodica.

In order to achieve the fastest, most consistent growth, tilapia are best raised in an all male culture. As a result of the breeding method, not hormones, these fish are predominantly males. This provides a healthy, consistent product that can be raised organically if one desires. With proper water temperature and feeding rates they can grow from fingerling to 1.25 lbs. fish ready for harvest in just nine months.
