This book contains 12 chapters that discuss the history, current state and future of tilapia (Oreochromis and Tilapia spp.); basic biology and ecology; environmental requirements; semi-intensive fish culture; intensive culture; nutrition and feeding; reproduction and seed production; stress and diseases; harvesting, processing and production economics; the role of tilapia culture in rural development; modern technologies in reproduction and genetics (including cloning and transgenesis) and the environmental impacts of tilapia culture and the best management methods to reduce those impacts. This book is intended for those with an interest in aquaculture in general or to those involved in tilapia culture in particular.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 216-261) and indexes.
