Tilapia Culture

Tilapia Culture, 2nd Edition, provides a comprehensive technical overview of tilapia biology, farming systems, and commercial management. Written for researchers, farmers, farm managers, and graduate students, the volume connects biological foundations to commercial aquaculture practices.

The text surveys essential biological topics, including taxonomy, body shapes, gut morphology, and feeding habits. It also covers semi-intensive culture methods across earthen ponds, tanks, raceways, cages, recirculating aquaculture systems, and aquaponics.

Operational guidance spans broodstock management, monosex tilapia production, seed production, and larval rearing across diverse culture systems. The 2019 edition also introduces added material on fish introductions and transfers, probiotic and additive usage, marketing, and sustainability approaches.
