Red Tilapia from Scotland
Tilapia breeding programme at the Institue of Aquaculture in Scotland
The Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, aims to improve tilapia fish using genetic modifications instead of hormones which could find their way into the human food chain. And why their red tilapia are more popular than the original grey-green. Plus, why aquaculture has been harder than expected to establish in Africa and other parts of the developing world.
