Abstract

The most recent findings in tilapia's nutritional physiology have been critically reviewed bearing in mind the future of this species in world aquaculture. This fish requires ten essential amino acids and a high protein content in the diet to achieve a maximum growth. The utilization of animal and vegetable protein may differ between the species of tilapias but generally fish growth was decreased while being offered plants or processed corn meals in comparison to diets with animal ingredients. Some problems connected with the nutrition terminology and new areas of research on Tilapia were discussed.

Gander Lake (surface area = 11320 ha, maximum depth = 288 m, mean depth = 105.4 m) is the third largest lake on the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Fish populations were sampled with Lundgren multiple-mesh experimental gillnets. As is characteristic of other water bodies in Newfoundland, fish divers
