No more damage to the water than any other decaying matter in a pond. Other than sanitation/odor, the main reason USUALLY for removing dead tilapia would to prevent the nutrients they've removed from being available to problem plants/FA again. Tilapia raised as a food fish would not be for plant control or as a forage.
MRHELLO, there are a couple good studies by the food fish industry on LMB/Tilapia and CC/tilapia polyculture.
I was just going to put them in this pond because I do not think anything else will make it, plus they may clean it up pretty good, as I read a post where one of your clients gained depth.
I figure if they grew large enough to eat we would try them. But I am sure if you want them for food it would be better to feed them.
Would you also mind answering my last few questions on my post #226357?
Thanks
