Tilapia
Tilapia inhabit a variety of fresh water habitats including shallow
streams, ponds, rivers, lakes, and estuaries. Most tilapia are omnivorous
with a preference for aquatic vegetation and detritus. Tilapia is
the third most important fish in aquaculture after carps and salmonids.
Like other large fish, they are a good source of protein and a popular
target for artisanal and commercial fisheries. Tilapia have very low
levels of mercury as they are a fast-growing and short-lived fish
that mostly eats a vegetarian diet and therefore do not accumulate
mercury found in prey. Tilapia is a low total fat, low saturated fat,
low calorie, low carbohydrate and low sodium protein source. It is
also an excellent source of Phosphorus, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin
B12 and Potassium.
