Training Manual Biology and Culture of Sea Bass (Lates calcarifer) BUL867/FA043: Grass Carp: A Fish for Biological Management of Hydrilla and Other Aquatic Weeds in Florida. David L. Sutton, Vernon V. Vandiver, Jr., and Jeffrey E. Hill2 Abundant growth of aquatic plants causes serious problems in ponds, lakes, rivers, and irrigation and drainage throughout Florida. In some situations, native aquatic plants become weeds, but most often exotic plants introduced from areas outside the state flourish under the favorable growing conditions found in Florida. Long-term economical solutions to Florida's aquatic weed problems have been elusive and there is a need for control techniques to alleviate aquatic weed problems. This bulletin provides information on a biological method, the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.), for management of some of Florida's aquatic weed problems. Since the grass carp is a living organism, in contrast to either herbicides or mechanical devices used for aquatic weed management, a somewhat different approach is required.

Global harvest of tilapia in million tonnes as reported by the FAO, 1950–2009[1] History[edit] The Tomb of Nakht, 1500 BC, contains a tilapia hieroglyph just above the head of the central figure. Tilapia were one of the three main types of fish caught in Biblical times from the Sea of Galilee. At that time they were called musht, or commonly now even "St. Peter's fish". Characteristics[edit] Tilapia typically have laterally compressed, deep bodies. Other than their temperature sensitivity, tilapia exist in or can adapt to a very wide range of conditions. Species[edit] Exotic and invasive species[edit] Tilapia are unable to survive in temperate climates because they require warm water.
Aquarium species[edit] Larger tilapia species are generally poor community aquarium fish because they eat plants, dig up the bottom, and fight with other fish. Smaller West African species, such as Tilapia joka and species from the crater lakes of Cameroon, are more popular. Commercial species[edit] As food[edit] SpringerLink - Abstract.

This Web page provides access to 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 those already producing tilapia for the food industry, for those interested in joining the industry and to potential customers and consumers of farm-raised tilapia.

Posted by: Ming Leung in SW5 Tilapia is a group of hardy and fast reproducing fishes which are widely used in aquaculture. Yet the same qualities that make tilapias ideal for fish farming also make it a potential invasive species. In Nicaragua, non-native tilapia were repeatedly introduced into lakes and rivers for aquaculture. Tilapia were repeatedly introduced in 1960s and approved by the government in the 1980s. Its establishment in Nicaraguan waterways have, instead of increasing biomass and fishery resources, has corresponded with a reduction of native chichlid species. To better understand the effect tilapia has on native chichlids, McCrary et.
