Tilapia

Because of its white, nutritious and delicious meat, the breeding and marketing of these fish has expanded in recent years, proving their profitability.
Among other benefits of tilapia production, its ‘poikilothermic’ property stands out. This enables the animal to obtain more amount of meat, as they don’t need need more energy than other animals. Another highlight of tilapia is their resistance to disease and the fact that they are easy to feed and breed.
Tilapia also has a comparative advantage over other white meat species, which are the major competitors in the international market, like hake and cod, since the latter show a decreasing trend in extraction.
The key to successful intensive culture of tilapia is the proper handling of feed. Tilapia nutrition and proper diet are related to their biology and therefore need a source of protein in their diet.
