Tilapia fish in a tray of ice


Tilapia is a term used for cichlids fish of the genus Tilapia as well as a few other cichlids that not really are tilapia fish. The genus tilapia contains more than 100 species and is originally found in Africa and parts of the Middle East but can today be found in a number of other waters around the world. Tilapia fish are appreciated both as aquarium fish and as food fish. Tilapia as a food source has played a very important role in preventing hunger in some areas as this fish is easy to breed and can be a source of protein in hungry struck areas. Many people hope that Tilapia fish can help end hunger and malnutrition around the world.
