Tilapia take in water primarily through their mouths as they feed and breathe. They use a process called buccal pumping, where they actively open and close their mouths to draw water in, which then passes over their gills. The gills extract oxygen from the water while also helping to expel carbon dioxide. This efficient mechanism allows tilapia to thrive in various aquatic environments.

Alternatively, you can use a microwave's defrost setting, but be cautious to avoid partially cooking the fish. Always cook tilapia immediately after defrosting if using the quick methods.
