Applied Aspects of the Thermal Biology Ecology and Life History of the Blue Tilapia Tilapia Aurea (Pisces: Cichlidae)

by Alexander Zale

Abstract:

Laboratory and field research was conducted on issues relevant to the effective management of the blue tilapia, Tilapia aurea, an exotic cichlid established in U.S. waters.

Cold tolerance of blue tilapia was enhanced at isosmotic salinities. Time and temperature interacted to elicit cold death; a model was developed to quantify this interaction. Considerable heterogeneity in thermal tolerance among individual fish was observed...
