Pond Culture of Tilapia

James E. Rakocy and Andrew S. McGinty

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: July 1989

In the U.S., the most appropriate species of tilapia for culture are the mouthbrooders: Tilapia nilotica, T. aurea, T. mossambica, T. hornorum, and the substrate spawners: T. rendalli and T. zillii. Various hybrids between mouthbrooding species may also be important; e.g., most of the reddish-orange tilapias are hybrids. In general, mouthbrooders have been used more in food fish production, whereas substrate spawners have been used mostly for weed control.
