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.

An albino strain has been developed in captivity Capture (blue) and aquaculture (green) production of Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO [32] Mozambique tilapia are hardy individuals that are easy to raise and harvest, making them a good aquacultural species.
In the past, Oreochromis and Sarotherodon were retained in the genus Tilapia, but these are treated as separate genera by all recent authorities. [2] Even with this more restricted Tilapia, there were indications that the taxonomic treatment was problematic, and in 2013 a review of the group resulted in the removal of most "Tilapia" species to the genera Coelotilapia, Coptodon, Heterotilapia ...
Once a high performing tilapia strain (or strains) has been developed, the establishment of satellite hatcheries will increase the availability and decrease the costs of seed stock. These public and private hatcheries will act as multipliers for the superior genetics developed at RGCA and the sites for dissemination of quality broodstock to ...
Oreochromis macrochir (longfin tilapia, greenhead tilapia, or greenhead bream) is a species of cichlid native to the Zambezi Basin, Lake Mweru, and Lake Bangweulu. It has been used extensively for stocking ponds and dams in other parts of southern Africa, but is little-used elsewhere. [2] In Lake Mweru, it is economically the most important ...
In 2023, blackchin tilapia was a prohibited species from being imported into the country, and found the species spreading in many areas in the central region especially the provinces of Samut Sakhon, Samut Songkhram, Samut Prakan, and there have been reports of the species' distribution as far as Chumphon province in the south.
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.
The Nile tilapia can be found in most types of freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and ponds, and ranging from sea level to an altitude of 1,830 m (6,000 ft). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It also occurs in brackish water, but is unable to survive long-term in full salt water. [ 2 ]
