Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid [[fish]] from the tilapiine cichlid tribe. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and less commonly found living in brackish water.<br />
<br />
The tilapiines of North Africa are the most important commercial cichlids. Fast-growing, tolerant of stocking density, and adaptable, they have been introduced to and are farmed extensively in many parts of Asia and are increasingly common aquaculture targets elsewhere.<br />
===Culinary use===<br />
Tilapia can be used in most recipes that call for ''[[white fish]]''.<br />
<br />
Tilapia is one of several commercially important aquaculture species (including [[trout]], barramundi and channel catfish) susceptible to off-flavours. These 'muddy' or 'musty' flavours are normally caused by geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol, organic products of ubiquitous cyanobacteria that are often present or bloom sporadically in water bodies and soil.[43] These flavours are no indication of freshness or safety of the [[fish]], but can harm the reputation of a product in the eyes of the consumer. Simple quality control procedures are known to be effective in ensuring the quality of fish entering the market.<br />
