Welcome to the World Wide Web site for information regarding Tilapia Aquaculture. This Web page provides access to scientific and technical information about the fish which is the fastest growing aquaculture crop in the United States and around the world. We are pleased to provide this information to consumers and potential consumers of farmed tilapia products and to those already producing tilapia for the food industry, for those interested in joining the industry.
Tilapia, several species and their hybrids of Oreochromis, are the second most important group of farm raised fish in the world. Tilapia farming and consumption are rapidly increasing in the US. Tilapia is now the fourth most popular seafood consumed in the United States. We are dedicated to the development of a profitable and sustainable industry. We are scientists who wish to protect the aquatic environment while providing high quality fresh fish to the American consumer. There is a considerable amount of misinformation on various websites posted by groups with various agendas. The information posted here was developed by government, academic and industry scientists from many countries and presented in open technical presentations all over the world.
