It is one in the same. Consumers have been fooled. The difference is a restaurant can charge more for an item named Tilapia than it can for an item called Catfish. Tilapia rings of culture while Catfish conjures up images of barefooted hillbillys.

Does Tilapia eat catfish's waste Is this their main source of food?
Typically, the Tilapia served at restaraunts and grocery stores in the United States comes from domestic farms (produced here in the States), or South and Central America, and in some regions we get Tilapia from Southeast Asia. The Tilapia available here in the States is not grown on catfish waste, but primarily on formulated diets, usually high in protein relative to other animal feeds. Most of this protein comes from fishmeal (wild-caught) and from soybeans as well as other food crops. Occasionally a farmer may be producing Tilapia in addition to another species of fish. In this case, the Tilapia may be filling a niche on the farm, and eating uneaten feed from other fish or suspended solids on the water. Rest assured, however, that Tilapia here in the United States, whether it is produced here or not, is safe to eat...and delicious! more info: Tilapia is a fish that is extremely mild in flavor [ if grown on a farm ] they can almost literally live any where , so long as the water temp does not go below 60 degrees F . If catfish AND tilapia were in a pond and the water lost ALL of it oxygen the tilapia will come up and "gulp" air . The catfish will die !! So most areas require a permit to grow them in the USA , because they are omnivores they eat everything !! so virtually every fish would starve if they were around and the local ecosystem would collapse.
