Healthy Beginnings Matter

Tilapia Hatchery

Mossambicus Tilapia hatchery operations and fingerling guidance for responsible aquaponics production.

Mossambicus Tilapia

Good fish production begins with careful hatchery management.

The Sable Creek Aquaponics hatchery supports Mossambicus Tilapia breeding and fingerling production as part of an integrated aquaponics operation.

Attention to water quality, fish health, nursery conditions, grading and handling helps prepare fingerlings for collection and responsible introduction into suitable systems.

Breed. Prepare. Acclimatise.

Responsible Fish Management

The receiving system must be ready before fingerlings arrive.

Stocking success depends on suitable water conditions, temperature, aeration, transport time, acclimatisation and the capacity of the receiving system.

Customers should discuss the intended system and collection arrangements in advance so that practical guidance can be provided.

Acclimatisation and care

Introduce fish carefully and monitor their condition during the early period after stocking.
