Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), part of the Cichlidae family, is a freshwater fish introduced to various tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions worldwide since the late twentieth century. It can be farmed using a broad range of methods, from small-scale systems that use organic waste as feed to highly intensive production techniques. According to El-Sayed (2006), Nile tilapia is widely farmed in developing countries due to its fast growth, adaptability to different environmental conditions, resilience to stress and disease, ease of breeding, cost-effectiveness, and status as a valuable protein source, often nicknamed “aquatic chicken.”
