Tilapia - Fish Farming in the Philippines
Ranked #157 in Pets & Animals, #4,711 overall
Tilapia - Aquatic "Manok" (Chicken)!
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!).
