Sagua, V.O. (1987) A review of recent advances in commercial tilapia culture. In: 5th Annual Conference of the Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON) , 22-25 Sep 1986 , Ilorin, Nigeria.
Abstract
The paper introduces the tilapias as important culture fish; their classification, breeding habits and general ecology are discussed. The versatility and plasticity of their reproduction and growth are major advantages as well as draw backs in their use as culture species. The culture of tilapias in ponds, cages, pens and raceways are described and a comparison of extensive and intensive cultivation is made. The major factors in commercial cultivation of tilapias such as feeds, hatchery/fry production and disease control are discussed. Recommendation is made for the consideration of tilapia as the equivalent of the common carp in tropical African fish culture in either monoculture or in polyculture with other fish species
