I missed this thread......Tilapia are the oldest recorded farmed fish...in over 6000 years, they have never acclimated to cooler climates. Also, reproduction in overwintering tilapia will rarely occur in northern latitudes due to a short photo-period.
As a side note to what ewest mentioned about tilapia taking up carrying capacity...what is often forgotten is that with tilapia consuming normally non-utilized nutrients in the pond, the "carrying capacity is drastically raised....generally, tilapia are ignored for carrying capacity concerns. Unless you're pushing things in a non-aerated pond during the summer....... Then I believe they should be considered part of the carrying capacity because they need DO too!
