Planning to start a backyard Tilapia production but still stuck with the question  does Tilapia really live on poop? Again, we found you an expert to give light to the confusion.  We asked the question to the fish farming expert coming from  fresh and frozen seafood delivery store Fishta. Quoted below is the exact answer. "Fish cannot live in their own feces – they will all die!  In fish cages, the feces can never accumulate because they fall down the mesh of the nets and are carried away by the current to be dispersed in the wide expanse of the sea.  Some waste may settle on the seabed but in well-managed fish farms these are eventually by scavengers organisms which may include other fish and degraded by natural microbes to be converted back to basic minerals. In fish ponds and tanks, the fish wastes are removed or reduced by regular water change or by the use of bio-remediation (beneficial bacteria which hastens the process of decomposition). It is o the inter...

Are you one of those who ask these on Google? We asked the specialist from the fresh and frozen seafood delivery store, Fishta , and here is the answer: Tilapia and all other farmed fish will not fare well in an environment that is full of toxins.  Growth will likely suffer and mortality will be high.   Good water quality (well oxygenated and free from chemicals) has to be maintained in order to make the fish survive and grow.   So while some people are scared to try Tilapia because of the false claim that Tilapia are raised dirty pens, why not help this farmed fish get its good reputation back? In fact, Tilapia is nutritious.  Share your friends this info coming from a reputable website FoodData.
