Nile tilapia
tilapia nilotica latin

Like other fish, the Nile tilapia travels almost exclusively in schools.

The third fish can be identified as a Nile Tilapia.

Nile tilapia has been observed to modify their fighting behavior based upon experiences during development.

It is threatened in its home range by competition with the invasive Nile tilapia.

Due to their fast reproductive rate, however, overpopulation often results within groups of Nile tilapia.

The relatively young age of sexual maturation within Nile tilapia leads to high birth and turnover rates.

Nile tilapia, striped mullet and Chinese carp continue to dominate this list.

The Nile tilapia typically feeds during daytime hours.

The Nile tilapia is an omnivore that feeds on both plankton and aquatic plants.

The Nile tilapia has recently been discovered in a small stream in central Arkansas.

Two cases have been reported of a person without a general fish allergy having an anaphylactic reaction to pangasius and Nile tilapia.

Groups of Nile tilapia establish social hierarchies in which the dominant males have priority for both food and mating.

Aquaculture of the Nile tilapia dates back to Ancient Egypt.

"Wild" Nile tilapia populations were collected from four sources on the African continent:

Protein and energy requirements of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fry.

As stated in the reproduction section, female Nile tilapia exhibiting parental care show extended interspawning periods.

Thus, one of the reasons behind a delayed interspawning period by female Nile tilapia may be for the benefit of offspring survival.

One of these, the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), was to establish itself firmly in the fishery.

The plants that grow in the wastewater can then be used as feed for animals, such as carp, Nile tilapia, and chickens.

The Nile tilapia thrives on the warmer temperatures commonly found in shallow waters compared to the colder environment of the deep lake.

Typical of most fish, the Nile tilapia reproduces through mass spawning of a brood within a nest made by the male.

Female Nile tilapia, in the presence of other females either visually or chemically, exhibit shortened interspawning intervals.

Similar to other tilapia, Nile tilapia are maternal mouthbrooders and extensive care is therefore provided almost exclusively by the female.

Evidence supports the possibility that the Nile tilapia has established a strong breeding ground and will eventually endanger other fish species, possibly competitively exclude them.
