Nile tilapia, scientifically known as Oreochromis niloticus, is a freshwater fish species native to Africa but now widely distributed across the globe. Here are some of the benefits associated with Nile tilapia: Nutritional Value: Nile tilapia is a good source of protein, low in fat, and rich in essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins (including vitamins D and B12), and minerals (including phosphorus, potassium, and selenium). It provides a healthy dietary option for individuals seeking to maintain a balanced diet. Sustainable Aquaculture: Nile tilapia is one of the most commonly farmed fish species worldwide due to its adaptability to various environmental conditions, fast growth rate, and efficient feed conversion. Its ability to thrive in diverse aquaculture systems, including ponds, cages, and tanks, makes it a preferred choice for sustainable aquaculture practices, contributing to food security and livelihoods in many regions. Economic Opportunities: Nile tilapia farming offers economic benefits to farmers, particularly in developing countries where aquaculture provides employment opportunities and income generation. The high demand for tilapia in both domestic and international markets creates avenues for small-scale and commercial producers to participate in the global seafood trade. Environmental Benefits: Nile tilapia farming can have positive environmental impacts when managed responsibly. Integrated aquaculture systems, such as aquaponics and polyculture, utilize tilapia waste as a nutrient source for crops, reducing the need for external inputs and minimizing environmental pollution. Additionally, tilapia farming can alleviate pressure on wild fish stocks by providing an alternative source of protein. Versatile Culinary Use: Nile tilapia is known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, making it versatile for culinary use. It can be prepared in various ways, including grilling, baking, frying, steaming, and broiling. Its neutral taste allows for a wide range of seasoning and flavoring options, appealing to diverse palates. Overall, Nile tilapia offers numerous benefits, ranging from its nutritional value and sustainability in aquaculture to its economic opportunities and culinary versatility. As a widely farmed and consumed fish species, Nile tilapia continues to play a significant role in global food systems and aquaculture development.
We are specialized in farming, processing and export of high nutrient Tilapia. Whole fish size 300-500 gm and fillets 3-5 Oz. Uniqueness of the production system is the quality of meat produced having utmost traceability and consistency. More than 100 RAS units spread across the state of Kerala are the fish production systems linked to NCAAH technically. All the farmers get the seed (fish fingerings) from RGCA subjected for nursery rearing for 30 days and stocked in the RAS and reared for 150-180 days to reach 400 -500- gram sizes. All the systems are maintained following a common protocol prescribed by NCAAH which includes the same quality feed (Growel Feeds, (P) Limited), close monitoring including regular checks for the water chemistry, and efforts are undertaken to maintain optimal conditions. As preventive health care strategy the fishes are regularly fed with probiotics developed by the Centre. To a larger extent nutritional quality of fish meat depends on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the culture system and the feed provided. GIFT has been demonstrated to have lean meat as the rich source of protein with less fat content, high Vitamin B12, Vitamin A and Vitamin D, niacin, taurine, phosphorus, selenium, calcium, zinc and potassium. US FDA lists GIFT as one of the best fish choices for pregnant women, breast feeding women and children for proper immune system function, normal metabolism and thyroid function, and reduces the risk of prostate cancer in men. Reportedly linked with decreased risk of coronary vascular diseases, decreased inflammatory diseases as arthritis and prevention of cancer. Grown under controlled conditions the meat is safe and no heavy metals, pesticides and antibiotics are detected. Endowed with low calorie and sodium and reasonable high quantity of Omega 3 fatty acid the fish turns out to be the best choice for niche marketing.
