Description and Table of Contents
Description
Tilapias are an important group of fish, native to Africa, which contribute to food supply in many areas of the world. While there has been a significant increase in production of tilapias globally over the past two decades, there is also some controversy that tilapias cause considerable environmental and biodiversity damage. This publication presents a broad analysis of the overall contribution that tilapias have made and their impact on the Asia-Pacific region. It also discusses the benefits of responsible use of alien species such as tilapias for improving the quality of life of the rural poor.
