Background:

The culture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) can be traced to ancient Egyptian times. Several species of tilapia are cultured commercially, but Nile tilapia is the predominant cultured species worldwide. Tilapia culture in South America started on a small scale in the early 1970s. Today, Brazil and Colombia together amount to almost 80% of all the fresh tilapia fillets consumed in the USA. Brazil is the world’s fourth largest producer of tilapia.
