The field day targeted to promote aquaculture and in particular tilapia culture in the region keeping in mind that tilapia culture is new in Pakistan and so many of the participants do not culture tilapia at the moment. In addition to the fish harvest, the event included a seminar on tilapia culture. Tilapia shown in the photo is the all-male of the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. In general, the average production of tilapia in the shown facility is about 7-8 tons\/ha which are marketed in Lahore and nearby cities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12124\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/?attachment_id=12124\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01.jpg?fit=810%2C447&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"810,447\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Promoting tilapia culture in field days in Pakistan (01)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01.jpg?fit=750%2C414&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12124\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01-300x165.jpg?resize=300%2C165\" alt=\"Promoting tilapia culture in field days in Pakistan (01)\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-01.jpg?w=810&amp;ssl=1 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12125\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/?attachment_id=12125\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02.jpg?fit=808%2C445&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"808,445\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Promoting tilapia culture in field days in Pakistan (02)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02.jpg?fit=750%2C413&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12125\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02-300x165.jpg?resize=300%2C165\" alt=\"Promoting tilapia culture in field days in Pakistan (02)\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fishconsult.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Promoting-tilapia-culture-in-field-days-in-Pakistan-02.jpg?w=808&amp;ssl=1 808w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit:\u00a0Muhammad Shahid Iqbal (Tawakkal)- Pakistan This is an annual event which is carried out at an aquaculture facility located in Muzaffar, Pakistan.
