Tilapia
Tilapia, often called the "aquatic chicken," is central to our aquaculture efforts due to its fast growth, adaptability, and resilience.
-
High growth rate: Can reach nearly 800g in a year
-
Prolific breeder: Females lay around 500 eggs every two weeks, even in captivity
-
Disease resistant: Fewer disease and water quality issues compared to other species
-
Adaptable: Thrives in a wide range of salinity and water conditions, most commonly found in brackish waters
-
Low trophic feeder: Consumes aquatic detritus and bioflocs, reducing reliance on traditional feed
-
Vegetarian: Efficient and environmentally friendly diet
-
Nutritious: Low in fat and high in crucial nutrients such as vitamin D, Iron and Magnesium. They well-suited for direct consumption
-
Tolerant: Can withstand low oxygen, high ammonia levels, and poor water quality
