Tilapia is the second most important freshwater food in the Philippines. The most important specie is the Nile (Tilapia nilotica). Tilapia grows very fast and reaches marketable weight of at least 200 grams in less than six months. A backyard fishpond for tilapia will increase family income because it is a good quality food suitable for processing into dried, smoked, or salted dried.
