Tilapia is a tropical fish native to Israel, African and Asian countries. Tilapia is a member of the chichlid species. They live in fresh waters such as shallow streams, rivers, lakes,and ponds. The term tilapia was coined by Scottish zoologist Andrew Smith in 1840. Commercially grown tilapia are mainly males. Tilapia has a very low level of mercury because its diet consists of mostly vegetation. Tilapia is also low in fat, salt and is a great source of protein.
