Tilapia (/ t ɪ ˈ l ɑː p i ə / tih-LAH-pee-ə) is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes (formerly all were "Tilapiini"), with the economically most important species placed in the Coptodonini and Oreochromini.

Oreochromis variabilis: the holotype of Tilapia variabilis, as illustrated in Boulenger 1907: a specimen of the blotched 'maradadi' morph. Like all other known Oreochromis, O. variabilis is a maternal mouthbrooder. Males are conspicuously coloured and aggregate in shallow waters, where they aggressively defend territories centred around their ...
Alcolapia grahami, the Lake Magadi tilapia or Graham's cichlid, is a vulnerable species of fish in the family Cichlidae. It is specialised to live in hot, alkaline waters in springs and lagoons around hypersaline lakes.
In the past, Oreochromis and Sarotherodon were retained in the genus Tilapia, but these are treated as separate genera by all recent authorities. [2] Even with this more restricted Tilapia, there were indications that the taxonomic treatment was problematic, and in 2013 a review of the group resulted in the removal of most "Tilapia" species to the genera Coelotilapia, Coptodon, Heterotilapia ...
Tilapia production in Brazil increased 3 - 4 percent in 2022. Philippines: 267,735 In the Philippines, several species of tilapia have been introduced into local waterways and are farmed for food. Tilapia fish pens are a common sight in almost all the major rivers and lakes in the country, including Laguna de Bay, Taal Lake, and Lake Buhi.
The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a species of tilapia, a cichlid fish native to parts of Africa and the Levant, particularly Israel and Lebanon. [2] Numerous introduced populations exist outside its natural range.
Terraria has support for mods, which is facilitated by the third-party tModLoader. [12] [13] [14] It later received official support when it was released as free downloadable content alongside the "Journey's End" update on Steam in 2020. [15] Mods for Terraria vary widely in their scope, content, and purpose. Some, such as Thorium and Calamity ...
Oreochromis leucostictus (the blue-spotted tilapia) is a species of cichlid native to Albertine Rift Valley lakes and associated rivers in DR Congo and Uganda. It has now been introduced widely elsewhere East Africa , and is believed to have negative ecological impact, particularly on native tilapias .
