Tilapia Aquaculture

by Natural Resource, Agriculture, and Engineering Science (NRAES)
This publication is the proceedings from the Fourth International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture (ISTA IV), held November 9-12, 1997 in Orlando, Florida. Included are 72 papers divided into twelve categories: nutrition, genetics, growth, reproduction, production systems, role of tilapia in development, industry reviews, economics and marketing, physiology and disease, computer systems and monitoring technology, sex determination and sex reversal, and aquaculture in Israel. Tilapia are one of the most important food fishes in the world. The fish are prized as aquaculture species because of the ease with which they can be bred in captivity and the wide variety of water conditions in which they will grow. These and many other characteristics make tilapia ideal for farming conditions and explain why they have become one of the most important domesticated fish around the world. ISTA IV is the fourth in a series of meetings that have brought together scientists, farmers, and seafood buyers from around the world to provide the most complete and up-to-date information available regarding tilapia. (1997)
