In India, Nile tilapia is the most dominant fish in some of the South Indian reservoirs and available throughout the year. O. niloticus grows faster and reaches bigger sizes in a given time. The littoral areas of Kelavarappalli Reservoir are full of nests of Nile tilapia and they breed during south-west monsoon (July–September).
Tilapia (/ t ɪ ˈ l ɑː p i ə / tih-LAH-pee-ə) is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes (formerly all were "Tilapiini"), with the economically most important species placed in the Coptodonini and Oreochromini.

The Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a species of tilapia, a cichlid fish native to the northern half of Africa and the Levante area (Lowe-McConnell, 1988). [4] Numerous introduced populations exist outside its natural range. The Nile Tilapia reaches up to 60 cm in length, and can exceed 5 kg.
Oreochromis mortimeri is a schooling species which is predominantly diurnal. It is also tolerant of higher salinities. Its diet largely consists of filamentous algae and diatoms, and also includes some vascular plants, Dipteran larvae, other insects, cladocerans, copepods, shrimps, annelids and molluscs.
Tilapia production in Brazil increased 3 - 4 percent in 2022. Philippines: 267,735 In the Philippines, several species of tilapia have been introduced into local waterways and are farmed for food. Tilapia fish pens are a common sight in almost all the major rivers and lakes in the country, including Laguna de Bay, Taal Lake, and Lake Buhi.
Impacts on riparian habitat were further fostered by tilapia digging (increasing river turbidity) and the establishment of nests. Native fishes, invertebrates, and other organisms have experienced a reduction in stream access and cover as a result of tilapia activities.
"Sesame Street" has been gentrified. After 45 seasons, the brick walls that once fenced in the neighborhood have been razed, giving way to sweeping views of what looks suspiciously like the Brooklyn Bridge (it is in fact a composite of three New York City bridges).
