Tilapia

Dibaq has a full line of products for tilapia that have been designed for the production of this species in intensive facilities with high loads.

These are highly digestive products that guarantee a low index of conversion and that create very few wastes.

  •  Distribution: Tilapia originated in Africa. It has been placed in Asia, Central America and South America to its cultivation.
  •  Feeding: It is an omnivore species that eats fitoplancton, perifiton, aquatic plants, small invertebrates, benthic fauna, wastes and bacterial caps linked to detritus.
  •  Fishing: With net.
  •  Breeding: Small lakes, ponds, cages and tanks.
  •  Repro: Courtship takes several hours. Fecunded eggs and embryos (until 15 days) are inside the femaleâ´s buccopharyngeal cavity (80.6ºF), so she stops eating. At high temperature, males are predominant over females. Consecutive hermaphoditism.
