Tilapia Farming Guide

Fish farming, Aquaculture and Aquaponics are big business and only getting bigger. The amount of seafood consumed annually is staggering and the global demand for all types of seafood products continues to rise. Tilapia has been the fastest growing segment of the seafood market for the past decade and is exclusively farm-raised. The Tilapia Industry is a $5 Billion global industry and a large piece of the demand for the product lies right in the United States. Tilapia Farming is big business and can mean large profits if done correctly. Tilapia are one of the most cost effective fish to raise because they can be raised in higher densities (more fish in less space) and fed cheaply. Raising Tilapia for profit is a rich opportunity for just about anyone.
