The black tilapia (Oreochromis placidus ) is a freshwater species of fish of the genus Oreochromis , found in the wide region of Southern Africa . It is a edible tropical fish .[2]
Description [ edit ]
The black tilapia can grow to the recorded maximum length of 35.5 cm (14 inches).[3] The fish is silvery to steel-grey, with white abdomen. There is a red or orange margin on the dorsal and grey or black marblings on the gill-cover.[4] The species are only reported to be found in fresh water at low altitudes and latitudes which suggests its relatively low salinity and temperature tolerances.[5]
Distribution [ edit ]
The species are mainly found in the lower Zambezi river and other rivers southwards such as Runde , Pungwe , Rovuma and Buzi river .[6] It is also found in the lakes nearby.[7]
