You would have seen this fish in a fish market. Tilapia, a fish introduced to India in the 1950s for its dietary value, is now found in marine environments such as Palk Bay. The presence of tilapia in marine waters could have potential long-term impacts on the native ecosystem and aquaculture industry.
