Learn to maximize tilapia production in different areas around the
world Tilapia is the second-most cultured fish species in the
world, and its production is increasing each year. However, for
several reasons profit margins remain slim. Tilapia: Biology,
Culture, and Nutrition presents respected international experts
detailing every aspect of tilapia production around the world.
Biology, breeding and larval rearing, farming techniques, feeding
issues, post-harvest technology, and industry economics are clearly
presented. This concise yet extensive reference provides the latest
research and practical information to efficiently and economically
maximize production in diverse locales, conditions, and climates.
Tilapia: Biology, Culture, and Nutrition comprehensively explores
all types of tilapia with a detailed biologic description of the
fish that takes readers from egg through harvesting. The book
authoritatively discusses production issues such as feed nutrition,
temperature, water quality, parasites, and disease control to guide
readers on how to best encourage fast, efficient growth. Economic
and marketing information are examined, including industry data and
projections by country. Each chapter approaches a specific facet of
tilapia and provides the most up-to-date research available in that
