I just discovered that tilapia fish can now be raised in commercial quantity with a new breakthrough in its hatching which produces only male fish. In the past the problem has been that they are prolific in birth giving which leads to overcrowding and stout growth but with this invention Tilapia fish also know as Aqua Chicken can now be raised in commercial quantity.

My question is, is there a market for it in commercial quantity since it does not stay alive longer outside water like catfish?

I asked for market on Tilapia not Snail. @Zogo

What's the local name for Tilapia fish?

There is a huge market abroad especially for frozen or smoked fish

@ Seun
Local name for Tilapia is EPIYA.

Why don't you get the fish well dried , sell locally and equally export?

you can create a market for your product
it requires time and effort.
look for other guys with other varieties of fish and create a fish market for a group of pple

I think the local name for tilipia is Obokun.

Thanks for everybody that said I should get the fish well dried for export market which is a very good idea. I will start looking for a smoking cane that can serve both tilipia and catfish but if anybody here has a contact or buyer abroad pls let me know.

Tilapia is my favorite fish here in Ghana,infact,whille catfish is popular in Nigeria it is Tilapia in Ghana.Majority of them were being caught from Volta River, hence the name VOLTA CATCH. There is a very wide portion of the Volta River that looks like a pond most especially in Kpong axis.Now to how it is being market, the big wigs harvest and store in a coldroom where the market women come in there numbers to buy and they do there preservation with the help of broken ice blocks stock together with the fish in a sack,getting to market they sell all day, the left over can then be further preserve buy drying or smoking but pretty sure they will made there gain from the sale.Some market women go to the river directly and straight to the market in that way they make more
gain.Aside that Tilapia is very popular in all the restaurants and and Hotels where they sell at exhorbitant rates.

Good thing you made that correction before i got here, i was going to add a slap to the correction.

Tilapia used to be the main fish for peppersoup delicacy before catfish became prominent.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT YOU CANT SELL TILAPIA OR EVEN CATFISH IN USA,THEY ARE VERY CHEAP,BIG AND , UNLESS IF WELL SMOKED,THEN U COULD MAKE IMPACT.IN USA STORES ,THERE ARE SMOKED FISH BUT NOT TILAPIA.

If you flood the Nigerian market with tilapia, trust me people will buy it. Nigerians love tilapia and cat fish, and I don't think you can go wrong with tilapia.
