Annotated checklist of the freshwater fishes of Kenya (excluding the lacustrine haplochromines from Lake Victoria). Abstract: This paper is the first record of the exotic cichlid, the redbelly tilapia, (Gervais, 1848), from natural freshwater Tilapia zillii bodies of Iran, which has most likely been deliberately released to enhance fish production. Wallingford, UK: CABI. Great Basin Naturalist 42(3):361-366.

ICLARM Conf. However, populations of redbelly tilapia continued expanding in the absence of macrophytes because of its ability to switch to alternate food sources (Crutchfield et al. Electrophoretic identification of feral and domestic tilapia in Texas. Tilapia genetic resources for aquaculture. This document is Circular 1051, one of a series of the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of There is little awareness on the invasion of redbelly tilapia, as it is still stocked and reared illegally. It provides up to 70% of Egypt’s fish production and is a hardy species, easy to grow and popular with consumers (white-fleshed and mild-flavoured) (Canonico et al., 2005). Remote Sensing).

In California, The redbelly tilapia is considered a potential competitor with native fish for food and spawning areas, and is potentially detrimental to California rice crops (Pelzman 1973). Ann. In most cases, if stocked at a rate of 10-15 per acre, these fish can control all of your weed problems within a year’s time. Saeed MO; Ziebell CD, 1986. Soc. Redbelly Tilapia, Coptodon zillii. Redbelly tilapia has a diploid (2n) chromosome number of 44 and haploid/gametic (n) of 22 (Klinkhardt and Greven, 1995). Colombo, Sri Lanka: The Wildlife Heritage Trust of Sri Lanka. 1981; Grabowski et al. This can then negatively affect native organisms that depend on such plants for spawning, protection, or foraging (Spataru, 1978). The fact that Florida’s climate is also subtropical is a major reason why many introduced species have successfully established themselves in the state. In central Florida, anglers can assume every tilapia they observe in fresh water is a blue, and any tilapia over 3 pounds is also likely a blue tilapia. Moyle, P.B. Redbelly tilapia may be infected with a wide range of diseases and parasites, including Diplozoon paradoxum and Tetraonchus species (Yildirim et al., 2010).

Other tilapias have similar tolerance (i.e., blue tilapia (O. auratus) can reproduce in 19 psu and survive in waters of 54 psu –, Florida red tilapia are routinely grown between 12–18 psu –, and Mossambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) can reproduce at 49 psu and survive up to 64 psu –).

Page LM; Burr BM, 1991. 1977. Molnar JL; Gamboa RL; Revenga C; Spalding MD, 2008. http://nas.er.usgs.gov/. For example, its introduction into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, as well as to many other areas of the USA is largely for aquatic weed control, to control noxious aquatic insects, and for culture as a food fish (Molnar, 2008), however there is a high risk to native fauna through eliminating native flora and through impacts on ecosystem functioning (Pelzman, 1973; Spataru, 1978). The species is thought to have outcompeted or genetically subsumed two native species, Oreochromis variabilis and Oreochromis escuelentes (Balirwa et al., 2003).
