STUDY OF THE MORPHOLOGY AND ECOLOGICAL IMPACT OF TILAPIA AUREA (PISCES; CICHLIDAE) IN FLORIDA
- Date Issued:
- 1975
- Summary:
- A description of Tilapia aurea based on specimens from Florida is presented with an updated synonomy. The Florida specimens are compared with descriptions of specimens from Israel. It is concluded that Florida specimens have the same range in morphological variability as specimens from Isreal. The experimental work completed here indicates that Tilapia aurea does not adversely affect native fish populations. It is speculated that Tilapia aurea may have stabilized the experimental fish populations by a "polyculture effect."
