Integrated Farming: Giant Tilapia Feeding Frenzy

Raising tilapia
From the tilapia farmer's perspective, there are three main events in the tilapia farming timeline: hatching, rearing and harvesting. Of course, these events have many different names depending on with whom you are speaking. Some people might use words like spawning, grow-out and processing, but no matter what terms they use they're all talking about the same things. An important point to remember is that we are referring to the events and jobs in the farming timeline and not the development cycle of the tilapia. Although they are interwoven, the tilapia are going through their own cycle of development that doesn't require any significant shifts in your responsibilities. Because this is an important distinction we will briefly overview each of the tilapia farming events.
