The culture of red tilapia in Pakistan started with the import of 500 fry with an average weight of 2.5 g from Thailand in March 2011 by Livestock & Fisheries Department, Government of Sindh. After the further nursing and grow-out of imported tilapia, the spawning has been carried out in breeding hapas whereas the produced fry/fingerlings of weight 2-5 g are distributed to private fish farms.
