Tilapia - Aquatic "Manok" (Chicken)!
Tilapia are some of the most farmed ("cultured") fish in the world--right up there with carp, catfish, trout, and salmon--and are considered the fifth most popular seafood eaten in the U.S.
During a recent trip to the Philippines, I saw various methods of fish-farming--in particular, the methods used for raising and harvesting (and cooking!) tilapia.
Aquaculture is important in many countries, particularly in Asian countries such as the Philippines--the protein provides a needed addition to otherwise protein-limited meals.
This lens provides some information and additional resources for those interested in aquaculture and tilapia in particular.

Tilapia - "Aquatic Chicken"
There's good reason to want to raise or farm tilapia--they have a fine-tasting, flakey meat; they are relatively easy to raise or farm; they are more robust and prolific than other species; and, they've been farmed and harvested for nearly 2,500 years (lots of experience out there raising these fish!).

- In Malaysia, we prefer Red Tilapia. We are farming it in our grandmother's fish pond. You can even swim with them but be careful not to touch their fin. You'll get stung but its not so painful.

- Right after Basa, we will eat Tilapia -- That is an amazing picture of "Tilapia Ready for Market - Caught in Net at Fish Farm Pond, Pampanga, Philippines" -- quite a few fish in that net. We've fished in a fish farm in the Carolinas, but brought the fish in one at a time. Have you tried Basa yet? I'd be curious to hear your opinion.
