TILAPIA FINGERLINGS

To fully understand what tilapia fingerlings are, we should first differentiate it from tilapia fry. These two terms are not interchangeable because they pertain to a particular stage in the fish’s development. Before the tilapia reaches the fingerling stage, they are genderless and measures one half and three quarters. It is in this stage that they are called fry. Once their sexual organs are developed, and they have grown their scales and fins, they are already considered fingerlings.


It usually takes 21 days before tilapia’s gender to be determined, marking their transition into fingerlings. They should receive adequate nutrition by feeding and being grown in an appropriate rearing environment to achieve fast development. If not, the fry would take several weeks to grow and reach the size of a fingerling, which is a determinant of their grade.
