squeeky,
It just isn't a problem. In ponds with predators, there are very few Tilapia that are not consumed by the predators during the die-off. I had hundreds and hundreds of Tilapia last year in predator ponds and less than half a dozen visible dead Tilapia after the die-off. In a pond without predators, I had a fish kill, yes, but it was gone within a matter of days...nature's clean-up crew at work.
The big problem which many people told me I would have, just isn't a problem at all. Don't sweat it and for sure don't let that stop you from using this marvelous fish.
Rumors of their demise are greatly exaggerated, to paraphrase a Great American author.
