We
believe tilapia are one of the best fish for use in the educational
setting. Hardy, disease resistant, fast growing and tolerant of
less than ideal water conditions they provide an ideal fish for
people starting out with, and oh yah they're great tasting too.
In order to archieve the fastest,
most consistent growth, tilapia are best raised in an all male culture.
This provides a healthy, consistent product that can be raised
organically if one desires. With proper water
temperature and feeding rates they can grow from fingerling to 1.25lb.
fish ready for harvest in just 9 months. |
