Talapia are natural wild fish, indigenous to South Texas and points farther south. They are being raised commercially now, and by the way, are herbivores.

Is tilapia the same as chilean sea bass?

Nile Perch, Nile Talapia, African Perch, Victoria Perch, and even the Australian Barrundi Australianus are all confused with the Nile Perch. The Talapia are African ceclids and are omnivorous but can be meat eaters and even cannibals.They are related to but not equal to the perch and some place them in the Carp Family. They are prolific and as such many areas prohibit the transport or even possesion of live fish. They will push out and take over from native fish. In Florida and Australia you may only possess dead fish or meat. The Talapia will push out the perch if allowed to do so and they grow as large as 4 feet long.They adapt to fresh, brackish and even have survived in Salt Water.They are aggressive but are easy to raise in a farming environment making them easily farm raised as a sustainable source of fish protein. (Most of the fish served at Disney World are Talapia raised on site.) They also happen to be good to eat yielding a firm mild tasting white flesh that carries sauces and marinades well.
