Tilapia (/tÉ¨ËlÉËpiÉ/ ti-LAH-pee-É) is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the tilapiine cichlid tribe.Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and less commonly found living in brackish water.ilapia are unable to survive in temperate climates because they require warm water. The pure strain of the blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus, has the greatest cold tolerance and dies at 45 Â°F (7 Â°C), while all other species of tilapia will die at a range of 52 to 62 Â°F (11 to 17 Â°C).
Known in the food business as âaquatic chickenâ because it breeds easily and tastes bland, tilapia is the perfect factory fish; it happily eats pellets made largely of corn and soy and gains weight rapidly, easily converting a diet that resembles cheap chicken feed into low-cost seafood.ut tilapia has both nutritional and environmental drawbacks. Compared with other fish, farmed tilapia contains relatively small amounts of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, the fish oils that are the main reasons doctors recommend eating fish frequently; salmon has more than 10 times the amount of tilapia.
