On the negative side of tilapia, has anyone ever had a fish kill that they thought they could relate directly to the extra biomass tilapia adds. Im sure it would be hard to relate it to one factor. But a hot dry summer with all those extra fish is my biggest worry. Perhaps different stocking rates/times could help to ease this problem, and still get the benefits from this fish.
I had the same concern until Overton advised stocking same sex tilapia in 1/4 acre pond.
Sucessful prosgram for past three summers.
