Risk assessment of the introduction of Nile tilapia to the Solomon Islands
Mozambique tilapia caught near Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands.
Mozambique tilapia caught near Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. This introduced species of fish is already present in many Solomon Islands waterways, but its slow growth and small size at maturity make it a poor candidate for aquaculture, and inferior to the Nile tilapia (GIFT) that is under consideration for introduction.
