Female carries up to 200 eggs in her mouth where the larvae hatch and remain until after the yolk-sac is absorbed. Each batch of eggs is picked up into oral cavity by female. Tilapia galilaea, Sarotherodon galilaeus is the best fish species of the Cichlidae family its culture system is known for its easy cultivation, disease. Eggs are shed in batches in shallow nest and fertilized by male. A single male probably fertilises the eggs of more than one female (Ref. Males set up and defend territory which are visited by the females. Spawns in firm sand in water from 0.6 to 2 m deep of lakes (Ref. Egg size 1.5 mm, larval length at hatching 4 mm. It is about 480 km long, 300 km in Egypt (Lake Nasser), and 180 km in Sudan (Lake Nubia). Females incubate eggs inside their mouths (approximately for a week) where larvae hatch and remain until the vitellus is reabsorved. Reproduction occurs only when temperatures are over 20☌. Later on, Landsberg (1989) reported that Contracaecum larval infections are common in the Israeli pond-cultured tilapia hybrids, with observations in tilapia of 200350 g of up to 12 worms, which could reach a length of 6 cm and 23 mm in diameter, inhabited the pericardial cavity, and remained unencysted ( Table 1 ). Premium sizes & changing prices: depending on household income and feeding habits, premium size fish. group in the 160200 mm group, 31. Sexual maturity is reached at 3-6 months depending on temperature, reaching about 30 g. stocking some tilapia galilaea in Nile tilapia ponds. galilaea of mixed sex from Kainji Lake and found the smallest mature individual to be a female in the 110150 mm S.L. Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Extended temperature range 8-42 ☌, natural temperature range 13.5 - 33 ☌ (Ref. Marine and Freshwater Research 62:902-917. Globally, the most important tilapia species in fish farming and supports major capture fisheries where established generally highly invasive and known to hybridise with many other Oreochromis species and for this reason further stocking has been banned in a number of countries, e.g. The biology and management of Tilapia mariae (Pisces: Cichlidae) as a native and invasive species: a review.

May mature early (about 11 cm TL females, 14 cm TL males) (Ref. Body size mediates the trophic cascade effect of filter-feeding fish Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Val.) on phytoplankton in large enclosures. Additionally, insect larvae are of some importance, as are aufwuchs and detritus juveniles tend to be more omnivorous than adults (Ref. Feeds mainly on phytoplankton or benthic algae. Does not do well in pure salt water, but is able to survive in brackish water (Ref. Occurs in a wide variety of freshwater habitats like rivers, lakes, sewage canals and irrigation channels (Ref.
