? There are many fish living in our country, and tilapia is one of them. However, tilapia did not live in our country at the beginning, but a species introduced from abroad. Tilapia is native to Africa and lives in the lower latitudes of Africa. Most of them live in the lower latitudes near the tropics. They are tropical fish, so they have high requirements for the surrounding temperature, which is one of their outstanding habits.
After being introduced into China, the habits and characteristics of tilapia have not changed, they are still afraid of cold, cold resistance is not strong, but their heat resistance is better. Because tilapia has such attributes and requires very high water temperature, most of them live in the southernmost provinces of China, that is, the provinces closest to the tropics, such as Hainan, Guangdong and Guangxi. If they are bred artificially, water temperature is also an important aspect to pay attention to. In general, the water temperature should be kept between 19-33 degrees as far as possible. If the water temperature is below 12 degrees, the tilapia may be frostbitten. If the water temperature is below 10 degrees for a long time, the tilapia may freeze to death.
in the north? As mentioned above, tilapia is a kind of fish that is afraid of cold. They belong to tropical fish and have very high requirements for water temperature. Therefore, tilapia can hardly survive the winter naturally in the north, because they may freeze to death when the water temperature is below 10 degrees. In fact, tilapia does not live in the northern part of China. Even if they are farmed in more northerly provinces, special attention should be paid in winter not to let them survive the winter naturally, and some measures should be taken to raise the water temperature around them. For example, in some places where there are warm ponds, such water can be introduced into tilapia ponds, so that tilapia can be protected from the harm of low temperature.
