Tilapias (Cichlidae) populate sub tropic and tropic inland waters and seas and by significance in total fish production they take second place in world. In over 80 countries, around 20 species are breeded in aquaculture with Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia mossambica), Sarotherodon melanotheron and Oreochromis niloticus as leading species. Spawning, fry and consume categories production could be organized in classic cyprinids ponds, cages and tanks in mixed and monosex culture as well as in polyculture. Tilapias are resistant to low oxygen concentration and poor water quality. They are omnivorous and easily adapted to supplementary food. Also, they grove fast and easily reproduce with water temperature as only limitation condition (lethal temperature is below 10 deg C). Thermal water resources in Serbia, with their capacity and physical and chemical characteristics, proffer remarkable possibilities for breeding tilapias. For a result along with enlarged range on fish market, we have complete usage of chip energy source.
