BRACKISH WATER TILAPIA
By.Leah B.Guevarra
BRACKISH WATER
*Brackish water is water that is saltier that fresh water,but not as salty as
seawater.
*Brackish water sources are most commonly found at transitional points of
water where fresh water meets seawater.
*Brackish water fish culture is still in the early stages of
development in Africa.
BRACKISH WATER
he Philippines is a major producer of farmed tilapias in the world. The country
produced 122,316 metric tons (mt) of tilapias in 2002, 93% of which was from
freshwater ponds and cages, and only 7% from brackishwater ponds (BFAR,
2003).
In 1991, the production of tilapias from brackishwater ponds in the Philippines
was 14, 072 mt or 18.4% of total production for tilapias. For the period 1996-
2002, there was a 172% increase in the production of tilapias in brackishwater
ponds with a mean annual growth of 8% (Table 1).

Since the introduction of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus)
to the Philippines in 1950 and the Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) in 1972, tilapias
have become the second most important foodfish grown in ponds. Milkfish
(Chanos chanos) is the predominant cultured species in the country’s 239,323
hectares of brackishwater ponds followed by the tiger shrimp (Penaeus
monodon) and the Mozambique tilapia.
This paper shall review the research and field trials conducted in the
Philippines on the culture of tilapias in brackishwater ponds and cages, and
assess its potential for further commercial production.
HISTORY OF
BRACKISHWATER TILAPIA
DIFFERENT KIND OF
TILAPIA
>Nile tilapia
>Blue tilapia
>Mozambique Tilapia
>Male Mozambique Tilapia
THE NILE TILAPIA
*The Nile tilapia(O.niloticus)was one of the
first fish species cultured
illustrations from Egyptian tombs suggest
that Nile Tilapia were cultured more than
3,000years ago.
*Positive aquaculture characteristics of

tilapia are their tolerance to poor water
quality and ,the fact that they eat a whole
range of natural food organisms
THE NILE TILAPIA
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
The Nile tilapia is the most popular, globally farmed tilapia species. It has
vertical black bands on the body and caudal or tail fin. The dorsal fin (or
the fin on the top part of the fish) has a black outline and the caudal fin
has a red margin. Nile tilapia is most preferred because it grows fast, is
hardy, and well adapted for farming in warm tropical countries like the
Philippines. Nile tilapia comprises about 70-80% of the world’s tilapia
production. In the late 1990s, there were several genetically improved
strains or stocks of Nile tilapia that were developed in the Philippines,
for example, the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain,
Genetically Male Tilapia (GMT), Genomar Supreme Tilapia (GST) among
others.
BLACK CHINNED
TILAPIA
Black chinned or Blackchin tilapia
(Sarotherodon melanotheron)
The main difference between this and the other
tilapia species mentioned
earlier is that the black-chin tilapia is a paternal
mouthbrooder. Tilapias
classified under the genus Oreochromis (e.g. Nile
tilapia, Mozambique
tilapia, red tilapia etc.) are known as maternal
mouthbrooders, meaning
the female parent incubates the fertilized tilapia
eggs in their mouth
for these to hatch into swim-up fry.
BLACK CHINNED
TILAPIA
The S. melanotheron found in the
Philippines have black blotches on the lower
part of the head and
this character has become the basis for farmers
to call this species as
“tilapyang Gloria” or in some areas, the fish is
called “molmol”. In a study
confirming the identity of these tilapia species
found in Manila Bay and in
an aquaculture pond in Bulacan, some were
noted to have melanic areas
or black blotches around the lower part of the
mouth.
THE RED TILAPIA
*Red tilapia is suitable for brackish water and seawater culture
because of the salinity tolerance of the parental species,know to
be moderately (0.niloticus and O.aureues)to highly
euryhaline(0.mossambicus and O.Hornorum.
*Several tilapia's can be successful acclimated to seawater if the
process is gradual.
*The red tilapia has become increasingly popular because it's
similar appearance to the marine red snapper gives it higher market
value.
THE RED TILAPIA
Red tilapias grow as fast as the Nile tilapia and can grow
even better in
brackish water ponds and sea cages. They have become a
popular choice
for farming especially in some Latin American countries. In
most parts
of Southeast Asia, red tilapia enjoys a good market in fresh,
chilled, or
live form. forms.
THE RED TILAPIA
*The original red Tilapia's produced in
Taiwanin the late 1960's,was a cross between
mutant reddish-orange female Mozambique
Tilapia and normal male Nile Tilapia.
*It was called the TaiwaneseRed tilapia.

THE BLUE TILAPIA
Blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus)
The blue tilapia looks similar to the Nile tilapia
with black blotches on the
body and the caudal fin. An obvious
distinguishing characteristic of the
blue tilapia is its yellow underside and yellow
margins on the caudal and
pectoral fins.
CULTURE
CONDITION
*Brackish water pond culture of Tilapia,the preparation
of the pond and methods of culture are similar to those
for milkfish.
*Stocking of Tilapia fingerlings can range from 1 to 2m²
for extensive culture and 4.5m²for intensive culture with
water depth of 0.31m
CULTURE
CONDITION
CULTURE
METHODS
*Pond culture is the most popular method of growing
tilapia.One advantage is that the fish are able to utilize
natural foods.Management of Tilapia ponds ranges from
extensive system,using only organic or inorganic
fertilizers,to intensive systems,using high-proteindeed
aeration and water exchange.
FIXED CAGE MODULE
A fixed module is usually

made of bamboo poles or
palm tree trunks staked
1-2 m deep into the
bottom of shallow lakes,
reservoirs, lagoons, or
bays.
FLOATING CAGE MODULE.
Floating cage module.

If the selected culture
site is in relatively deep
lakes, reservoirs, lagoons
or bays, a module that
stays afloat on the water
would be most ideal.
CONTRIBUTION IN
AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY
*Out of the total volume of fish production in 2015,the
aquaculture sector contributed the most at 2.35million
MT or 50.4%.The brackish aquaculture sector
contributes considerably to the growth of the fisheries
sector.
NEW
INNOVATION/TECHNIQUES
*Micro-bubble aeration technology uses a generator to
produce microscopic bubbles which release free radicals
and boost dissolve Oxygen levels in water,allowing it to
cleanse itself of waste products and increase
productivity of seafoods.
