Tilapia as Trigger Industry
Industrial Symbiosis Production Stream
Job Generation and Community Development
Production Line
Complete & self sufficient production line on site with all facilities required
for holding parental lines of genetically improved tilapia strains, spawning
and alevine ponds, sex reversal ponds, nursery and grow out ponds, fish
processing plant, and value-adding whole-system production streams.
OR
Millard and Linda Fuller BlueStreet Community as eco-economic incubator
hub of regional system
• Production of alevines, processing & marketing of final products off-site.
• Regional commercial centers for fry production and processing can
operate as separate entities.
• Production line can be divided between a
• Central Farm which supplies alevines, feed, materials, and
processing and marketing services, and
• Associated Growers, who specialize in the grow out phase
(similarity to poultry industry). This strategy allows equitable and
reasonable participation of large corporation and small producers,
cooperatives and rural enterprenuers.

Production Capacity of the SICM S
20-40 kg per cubic meter per year, equivalent to 200 to 400 tons per hectare
per year. This is significantly higher than any shrimp system, but it is not
considered highest as far as intensive fish production is concerned.
Each tank is approx 10m X 10m = 100 sm X 30kg/yr = 3000kg/yr for each tank
X 10 tanks = 30,000 kg/yr =
The high and low in the range mentioned above (namely, 20 to 40 kg per m3) is
determined by any of the factors mentioned above, for example, the water flow
rate, the ability to supply sufficient oxygen or remove the wastes.
100%-700% waster exchange per day.

Manufacture of Tilapia Collagen
Images from various websites
Fish collagen peptide (FCP), including food grade and cosmetic grade.
FCP extracted from fresh tilapia scales and skins through enzymatic
decomposition.
High-quality raw materials from non-polluted rain water ensures
substantial basis for high-quality FCP.
White color, no smell, completely soluble in room-temperature water,
low heavy metal content & other features allow FCP to be widely used
in food (e.g. beverage), health food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical
industries. Average molecular weight 1000-5000D makes the FCP easy
for human body to absorb.
Tilapia Production Stream & Value-added Products
WHOLE FISH AND FILLETS
SKINS
•
Used to make variety of leather goods, clothing and accessories.
•
Several companies (Brazil) produce dresses, shirts, vests, wallets, belts, purses & briefcases.
•
Tilapia skins are treated, dyed and cut into evenly shaped pieces. Some companies work with these
pieces; Others sew skins together and sell to manufacturer.
SNACKS
•
Skins, with scales removed, are cut into thin strips and deep-fried (popular in Thailand and
Philippines where served as appetizers often with slices of onion and a cut lime).
PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
•
Several European firms purchasing frozen or salted skins which are processed for gelatin used to
make time-released medicines, substituting material from tilapia skins for mammalian products
(continuing concern over BSE and other prion related diseases likely to increase demand for this
product).
TRIMMINGS AND HEADS.
•
Heads used for soups in some countries.
•
Fillet trimmings and throat meat recovered and used for ceviche and other preparations using small
amounts of fish.
•
Equipment exists to recover flesh through de-boning of skeletons. Flesh recovered provides base
for fish sticks, fish sausage, fish balls, fish sauce or other highly-processed forms.
•
Carcasses, heads, and trimmings used for animal feeds, especially hogs.
“FLOWER” ORNAMENTS
• From dried and colored fish scales. Brazil cottage industry to collect, dry, and curl scales that are then
arranged and glued to a base with thin wooden stem to mimic various flowers

Changes and Predictions
• Production will be 75% Oreochromis niloticus, 20%
Red strains, O. aureus and O. mossambicus mostly for
hybridization
• Production will be 50% intensive ponds, 25% cages,
10% intensive recirculating systems
• Processing and "value-adding" will intensify in
producing countries
