Tilapia
Tilapia have gone from being an obscure fish to one of the most popular fish in many cultures. Tilapia are easily grown and provide a mild white product.Tilapia are the second most important group of farm raised fish in the world. Tilapia has been introduced in over 100 countries. Tilapia farming and consumption are rapidly increasing in the US. Tilapia are a good source of protein and is now the fifth most popular seafood consumed in the United States.

Tilapia Aquaculture
As with other BAP standards for fish, those proposed for tilapia facilities include a set of base-level "global" standards that specify the sustainable use of land, water, nutrients, and other resources, and strive to prevent culture methods from causing environmental damage.
BAP certification for tilapia farms will help insure that fish do not contain residues of antibiotics and other chemicals, and that they are free of microbial contamination.
BAP certification for tilapia farms will address tilapia that are grown in controlled ponds, cages in lakes and reservoirs and other methods.
Certified farms must provide adequate living conditions for fish that limit stress, potential injury, and exposure to disease. Suitable stocking densities and feeding procedures that reduce the use of marine-based feed ingredients must be employed. Proper procedures must be used during harvest and transport.
