Regulated Type A species (Washington State Senate 2019) are “nonnative aquatic animal species that pose a low to moderate invasive risk that can be managed based on intended use or geographic scope of introduction, have a beneficial use, and are a priority for department-led or department-approved management of the species' beneficial use and invasive risks.” Possession of any species of tilapia is prohibited without permit in the State of Louisiana (Louisiana State Legislature 2019). O. amphimelas falls within Group I of New Mexico’s Department of Game and Fish Director’s Species Importation List (New Mexico Department of Game and Fish 2010).

  • Genetic Resources for Aquaculture: Status and Trends
    109 Genetic resources for aquaculture: status and trends Roger S.V. Pullin 7A Legaspi Park View, 134 Legaspi Street, Consultant, Philippines 1. SUMMARY Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic plants and animals, has grown consistently since 1970, when it provided only 3.9 percent of world fish supply. In 2004, global production of farmed fish (mainly crustaceans, molluscs and finfish) was over 45 million tonnes, comprising about 32 percent of total world fish supply, while the total production of farmed seaweeds for food and extraction of chemicals, was about 13.9 million t. Aquaculture also provides increasing proportions of the world’s supply of ornamental aquatic organisms. Over 90 percent of aquaculture takes place in developing countries, where it has high importance for poor people in terms of nutrition and livelihoods and where further responsible development of aquaculture, integrated with other natural resource use, has high potential for future growth. Based upon statistics submitted to FAO by its member States, about 84 percent of farmed fish production comes from Asia, with 67 percent coming from the Peoples’ Republic of China. However, aquaculture is increasing in importance in all developing regions and is expected to provide about 50 percent of world food fish supply within the next 20 years. The future of aquaculture will depend in large measure upon the effective management of the genetic resources for farmed aquatic plants (PGR) and farmed fish (FiGR), as well as those for the organisms that provide their food and ecosystem services. Fish farms are agroecosystems and aquatic genetic resources for aquaculture on farms are part of agrobiodiversity.

    UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour Oreochromis mossambicus (Mozambique Tilapia) Family: Cichlidae (Cichlids and Tilapias) Order: Perciformes (Perch and Cichlids) Class: Actinopterygii (Ray-finned Fish) Fig. 1. Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:Oreochromis_mossambicus_ by_NPS.jpg, downloaded 5 October 2012] TRAITS. Oreochromis mossambicus is a medium sized, laterally compressed fish that has long dorsal fins with 10-13 rays and spines (Froese & Pauly 2007). Its scales are large along the snout and fore head and become smaller along the body (Luna 2012). The coloration is a dull greenish yellow with weak banding pattern along the body (Froese & Pauly 2007). The adults range in size from 25 cm in the female to approximately 35 cm in the male. The male has an average weight of 2.5 pounds and the female ranges from 1.8-2 pounds at its maximum weight (Froese & Pauly 2007). O. mossambicus exhibits sexual dimorphism, the best descriptors are the premaxilla width, anal fin height and snout length; traits vital for agonistic displays, nesting and fighting (Oliveira & Almeda 1995). The size and coloration vary in captivity and with its diet. Some O. mossambicus look almost black in colour; females, non-breeding males and fry/ juveniles have a silvery colour on the scales (Luna 2012). O. mossambicus can live in both brackish and salt water and can survive a wide range of temperatures (Froese & Pauly 2007), and can live up to 11 years (Luna 2012).

Brackish estuaries and lagoons from Senegal to Zaire (Trewavas 1983).” Nonindigenous Occurrences From Nico and Neilson (2014): “Established in Florida and Hawaii. Evidence indicates it is spreading rapidly in both fresh and salt water around island of Oahu, Hawaii (Devick 1991b).” “The first documented occurrence of this species in Florida was a specimen gillnetted by commercial fishermen in Hillsborough Bay near Tampa, Hillsborough County, in 1959 (Springer and Finucane 1963). Additional records for the western part of the state indicate that this species is established in brackish and freshwaters in eastern Tampa Bay and in adjoining drainages in Hillsborough County, ranging from the Alafia River south to Cockroach Bay. The species has been recorded from the Alafia River from its mouth up to Lithia Springs; from the Hillsborough River, Bullfrog Creek, the Palm River, and the Little Manatee River; and from various western drainage and irrigation ditches (Springer and Finucane 1963; Finucane and Rinckey 1967; Buntz Sarotherodon melanotheron Ecological Risk Screening Summary U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service – Web Version – 10/01/2012 and Manooch 1969; Lachner et al. 1970; Courtenay et al. 1974; Courtenay and Hensley 1979; Courtenay and Kohler 1986; Lee et al. 1980 et seq.; Courtenay and Stauffer 1990; DNR collections; UF museum specimens).

The common name ‘tilapia’ refers to a group of tropical freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae (Oreochromis, Tilapia, and Sarotherodon spp.) that are indigenous to Africa and the southwestern Middle East. Since the 1930s, tilapias have been intentionally dispersed worldwide for the biological control of aquatic weeds and insects, as baitfish for certain capture fisheries, for aquaria, and as a food fish. They have most recently been promoted as an important source of protein that could provide food security for developing countries without the environmental problems associated with terrestrial agriculture. In addition, market demand for tilapia in developed countries such as the United States is growing rapidly. 2. Tilapias are well-suited to aquaculture because they are highly prolific and tolerant to a range of environmental conditions. They have come to be known as the ‘aquatic chicken’ because of their potential as an affordable, high-yield source of protein that can be easily raised in a range of environments } from subsistence or ‘backyard’ units to intensive fish hatcheries.
