The choices of fish and aquatic organisms have an economic, environmental, and legal component (see the regulations section below). For example, tilapia is one of the most common aquacultured fish due to its tolerance of a wide range of water quality conditions (Lim and Webster 2006), its favorable feed conversion ratio (1.5–3 pounds of feed/pound of fish [Chapman 2012]) and its fast growth under warm conditions (market size in 6–12 months). It fits well when grown with warm-season vegetable crops like tomatoes, peppers, or cucumbers (Table 2). Tilapia has high-quality, textured white fillets which present well at restaurants. Worldwide tilapia farming is expanding at a rate of 12% to 15% annually. ASC Magazine LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP. One time fee and no more debits. aquaponics-how-to-guide.info/aquanewsletter/
