Tilapia was originally a fish living in the African region, and later introduced into many countries and regions, and currently they are also distributed in our country. From the living environment, tilapia is not a sea fish, because they do not live in the ocean. Tilapia is a freshwater fish, usually living in freshwater rivers, distributed in the middle and bottom of the water. Tilapia has high requirements for water temperature, if the water temperature is too low, it will seriously affect their growth and development, and may even directly lead to their death. Therefore, tilapia, whether in Africa or other continents, mainly live in low latitudes.
Tilapia is also a kind of fish that can be artificially cultured, in our country the breeding of this kind of fish behavior is very common, the breeding of them is generally used in the way of pond culture, and the use of freshwater aquaculture. Because they live in fresh water for a long time, so whether it is the body structure or habits are adapted to fresh water.
Second, tilapia can live in freshwaterThe above has been introduced, tilapia is not a sea fish, and does not live in seawater, they live in freshwater. Especially the artificial culture of tilapia, generally use freshwater aquaculture, and the use of pond intensive culture is very common. Tilapia can live in freshwater and are relatively well adapted to freshwater. Specifically, they generally live in freshwater at low latitudes, that is, in watersheds where the water temperature is relatively high, inhabiting the middle and lower layers of the water, and mainly using some of the surrounding plant debris as their food.
