Tilapia are not particularly large, with adult fish ranging in length from 30 to 40 centimeters. There are also larger tilapia in daily life. A tilapia with a length of 59 centimeters was found in Guangzhou, but such a large individual is relatively small. Specifically, the size of tilapia is related to the surrounding environment, which leads to the difference between wild tilapia and cultured tilapia. Compared with fish of the same age, individuals in captivity are generally larger.
How big is a tilapia and how long can it live?

1. How big

is tilapia? Tilapia is one of the fish living in China, especially in the southern provinces. In terms of size, tilapia is a relatively small fish. In terms of length, the length of adult tilapia is only between 30 and 40 centimeters. Although there are also larger tilapia, such as a 59cm tilapia caught in Guangzhou, such a large tilapia is relatively rare. How

big tilapia can grow is also closely related to the surrounding environmental factors. The size and growth rate of wild tilapia and cultured tilapia are different because of the differences in the surrounding environment. Cultured tilapia grows faster and may be larger than wild tilapia in the short term, but in the long run, wild tilapia can grow bigger, because wild tilapia can grow without being affected by human factors, but cultured tilapia will be sold after a period of time and can not continue to grow.

2. How long

can tilapia live? In terms of life span, the life span of tilapia is not particularly long. Under normal circumstances, tilapia lives between 8 and 10 years. But how long tilapia can live is not certain, because their life span can be affected by many factors. The life span of

wild tilapia is different from that of cultured tilapia. Both have a longer life span than wild tilapia, because farmed tilapia can only live for about one year, or even less than one year before being sold, while wild tilapia can live longer. Of course, the life span of wild tilapia is not always very long, because their life span may also be affected by human factors, such as human hunting and environmental pollution, which may shorten their life span.
