Abstract

Tilapia farming in Central Luzon, Philippines, has expanded significantly since the 1950s, with the region becoming a key producer of tilapia in the country. The book details the development of tilapia farming, pond management, and production cycles, including common practices in stocking, feeding, and harvesting. It also examines the challenges posed by parasitic infestations, both endoparasitic and ectoparasitic, which affect the health of farmed tilapia. Factors such as hatchery conditions, water quality, and stocking practices are explored as contributors to parasite transmission. The history of fish parasite research in the Philippines is also presented, emphasizing its role in improving aquaculture practices.
