This is an ebook. The most complete Tilapia farming resource available anywhere 1,330 pages! We've added 90 pages. Highly graphical and in color Now it includes 60 minutes of video demonstrating local practices. now with even more video Tilapia has become the third most important fish in aquaculture after carps and salmonids, with production reaching over 2.000.000 metric tons in 2007. The manual is intended to help impart fish-culture practices to those involved in tilapia aquaculture. It can also be used by more sophisticated fish farmers who want to enhance their skills and independence by producing their own tilapia. Contents Tilapia fish farming Course on Aquaculture I.
