Tilapia: continuing to increase in


popularity globally

Tilapias are second only to the carps as a


farmed food fish.
In 2012 the global volume of farmed fish
exceeded global volume of beef for the
first time (FAO)
Tilapia have unique characteristics that will
facilitate its continued growth to someday
surpass carp production.

Genetic improvements in tilapia

(From: Mair, G., 2002)

Tilapia Genome Project

March 2011 - First assembly of the tilapia genome


Oreochromis niloticus Nile Tilapia
http://www.broadinstitute.org/ftp/pub/assemblies/fi
sh/tilapia/Orenil1/
Matching many segments to those known from
other fish
Publically available and freely accessible
Next frontier of genetic program for tilapia

Regions of rapid production growth

Vietnam conversion of catfish cages to tilapia in


Mekong, and culture in all regions
Indonesia cage culture, polycultures, rice culture
Malaysia government support and private sector
investment
Bangladesh government support and private sector
investment
Brasil lots of available water, labor, land, feed
Thailand better reporting, shrimp polyculture

Mexico continued intensification, some govt


support, large and small private investments

Sub-Saharan Africa - commercialization

Mexico

4,623 licensed tilapia


farms out of 9,230 total
aquaculture licenses in
all of Mexico
20,000 ton Dos Lagos

Chapter

Sakti Feeds, AquaFish Innovation Lab,
WorldFish, and
Aquaculture without Frontiers
April 26-29, 2016

Conclusions

Global tilapia production was 4,507,002


metric tons in 2012 (FAO, 2014), should
exceed 4,850,000 MT in 2014 and
5,000,000 in 2015. (6% growth)
Constantly improving farming, processing
and packaging for food safety, quality
assurance, traceability, and environmental
safeguards (with little, if any, increase in
price).
Other aquaculture species will follow the
tilapia model.

Conclusions

Tilapia has long been


called the aquatic
chicken.
Instead...

The
terrestrial
tilapia
