Referred to in the Bible, pictured on the wall-friezes of ancient
Egyptian tombs, and a subject of fascination for generations of
scientists, the tilapias (Cichlidae: Tilapiini) have featured in
the diet and culture of humankind for thousands of years. The
present century has seen their spread from Africa throughout the
tropics and sub-tropics, largely for food and fisheries purposes.
This book attempts to pull together our knowledge of this important
group - their biology and fisheries and aquaculture - in a single
volume, something that has not been done comprehensively for nearly
two decades. A succession of chapters by acknowledged authorities
covers evolution, phylogenetic relationships and biogeography,
reproductive biology, mating systems and parental care, diet,
feeding and digestive physiology, environmental physiology and
energetics, the role of tilapias in ecosystems, population dynamics
and management, genetics, seed production, nutrition, farming,
economics and marketing. The book is aimed at biologists, fisheries
scientists, aquaculturists, and all interested in aquatic ecology.
