The two photos show the cage farming of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in Lake Burera, Rwanda. The lake is found in the Northern part of Rwanda, near the volcanic mountains. Farmed fish in the cages are regularly sampled and inspected. Fish are fed with commercial feed that meets the nutritional requirements of fish in this intensive system.

Note: We decided not to watermark the photos in order not to upset its clarity. However, we trust you will notify us if you wish to use a picture or more. This is expected and will be appreciated.
