Academic Press (Elsevier) has published a major new reference book titled “Tilapia Farming: Breeding Plans, Mass Seed Production, and Aquaculture Technologies”, authored by Dr. M. Gulam Hussain, a leading global expert in aquaculture research and development. The book provides a comprehensive, science-based overview of the global tilapia aquaculture industry, addressing both current practices and future directions.
Tilapia is now the world’s second most farmed fish, valued for its high nutritional quality, affordability, and adaptability to diverse production systems. This volume responds to the rapid expansion of the sector by offering practical guidance on broodstock management, selective breeding plans, mass seed production, and hatchery operations. It also covers mixed-sex and monosex culture systems, semi-intensive and intensive farming technologies, feed and feeding strategies, major diseases and health management, and emerging innovations in tilapia aquaculture.
Beyond production, the book addresses food safety, microbial hazards, processing, trade, and supply-chain considerations—making it highly relevant for both developing and industrial aquaculture economies. Written for hatchery operators, progressive farmers, aquaculture entrepreneurs, researchers, and policy professionals, the book bridges applied science and field-level implementation.
This publication serves as an authoritative global reference for strengthening sustainable tilapia farming, improving seed quality, enhancing productivity, and supporting food and nutrition security worldwide.
The book has been revised to address some minor corrections early this year (2026) and new printed version will be available soon for international bookshops and marketing.
