Photo A shows the sexing and acquisition of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) broodstock from Lake Victoria at Homabay District to be used for seed production in a private tilapia hatchery. Photo B shows Nile tilapia fry produced at a Governmental hatchery in Kisii Central District, Kenya. Tilapia fingerlings produced in Kenyan hatcheries are mixed sex as no sex reversal practice is being undertaken yet.

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.
