Abstract

The aquaculture industry is gaining popularity day by day because it can fulfil food demands. Nile tilapia is one of the most intensively farmed fish species because it fulfills the demand for animal protein. It contributes significantly to food security and minimizes the unemployment rate in the world's rising population. Nowadays Nile tilapia demands is increasing because of its adaptability, fast growth, and high market demand. But there are different environmental factors which has the potential to impact Nile tilapia. This review article's main objective is to highlight the environmental aspects affecting Nile tilapia's growth and economic output. The study's findings revealed ecological factors such as water quality factors, including nitrite concentrations and dissolved oxygen, pH, feeding density, and stocking densities, are important in tilapia production. High nitrite concentrations were linked to reduced growth and survival rates. Therefore, monitoring and controlling water quality is important to increase Nile tilapia growth and survival rates so that mitigation and adaptation strategies can be done better.
