Crowding tilapia fry for easy and quick counting and loading. In order to reduce possible stress during this operation, it is very important to maintain proper densities for the shortest time possible. Aeration and/or water current would be required throughout this period of unfavorable condition to handled fry.

This is a model of a small-scale tilapia hatchery which could exist in fish farming communities of small to medium size. This type hatchery targets to fulfill given farms requirements of the fry of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus with a possibility to sell extras to others. An estimated production capacity of such model hatchery can go up to a 2-million tilapia fry/year depending on available nursing facilities.

The photo shows a female of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus while incubating freshly fertilized eggs. The color of incubated eggs indicates the early age of embryos which could be hours or 1-2 days depending on water temperature. The pigmentation of embryos will follow this stage. Sometimes freshly fertilized eggs are called green eggs.

The photo shows the pigmented stage of the eggs of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Because tilapia eggs are opaque and have tough chorions, special preparations will be required in order to examine tilapia eggs microscopically. The eyed stage will follow the pigmented phase shown in this photo.
