TILAPIA Culture by A-F M El-Sayed describes in detail the principles and practice of tilapia culture.
All aspects of the subject are covered, claims publisher CABI, from basic biology, environmental requirements, nutrition and reproduction, to culture in intensive and semi-intensive systems.
Tilapia are sometimes known as 'aquatic chicken' due to their high growth rates, adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, ability to grow and reproduce in captivity, and feed on low trophic levels. As a result, these fish have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, writes ElSayed.
