Tilapia: continuing to increase in
popularity globally
•
•
•
Tilapias are second only to the carps as a
farmed food fish.
In 2012 the global volume of farmed fish
exceeded global volume of beef for the
first time (FAO)
Tilapia have unique characteristics that will
facilitate its continued growth to someday
surpass carp production.

Regions of rapid production growth

•
•
•
Vietnam – conversion of catfish cages to tilapia in
Mekong, and culture in all regions
Indonesia – cage culture, polycultures, rice culture
Malaysia – government support and private sector
investment
Bangladesh – government support and private sector
investment
Brasil – lots of available water, labor, land, feed
Thailand – better reporting, shrimp polyculture
•
Mexico – continued intensification, some govt
support, large and small private investments
•
Sub-Saharan Africa - commercialization

Conclusions
•
•
•
Tilapia has long been
called the aquatic
chicken.
Instead…...
The
“terrestrial
tilapia”
Conclusions
•
•
•
Global tilapia production was 4,507,002
metric tons in 2012 (FAO, 2014), should
exceed 4,800,000 MT in 2014. (6% growth)
Constantly improving farming, processing
and packaging for food safety, quality
assurance, traceability, and environmental
safeguards (with little, if any, increase in
price).
Other aquaculture species will follow the
tilapia model.
