Is TILAPIA culture a viable choice that can help everyone to live happier, healthier and better lives?,  

here are some of the things tilapia can make possible.
______________________________________________
1.  TILAPIA CAN ABOLISH WORLD HUNGER. TILAPIA CAN FEED ALL THE HUNGRY CHILDREN. To A hungry child Tilapia CAN RESCUE THEN FROM THE PAIN OF HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION. TILAPIA CAN PROVIDE a cure for his or here need for a balanced healthy meal.

Tilapia can provide a nutritious meal with a well balanced  proteins that has all (100%) of the amino acids and minerals needed to grow our children into  happy well balanced adults.

100 grams of a tilapia fillet provides 100% of the daily needs for protein , vitamins, and minerals which will supply enough protein for normal development of the body and CREATE a sense of well being and happiness that only a nutritious diet can create.  

2. TILAPIA ARE THE IDEAL CROP.
To a fish farmer  tilapia provides a fish that can produce more protein per acre than any other crop (animal or vegetable) in the world FOR LESS MONEY. 

3. TILAPIA ARE INCREDIBLE ENERGY SAVERS; Tilapia can lower the energy cost of growing food. Tilapia can be grown using less energy, (human energy or electrical or mechanical) per pound of edible protein than any other crop (plant or animal) in the world and for less total cost.
.
4.  TILAPIA IS A SUPER HERO TO a hungry and ecologically bankrupt world  tilapia can provide crops that can be affordably be grown in any climate in the world and can replace the overfished and exhausted oceans and allow the reforestation of most of our planet.  

5. TILAPIA CAN CREATE WORLD PEACE: BY PREVENTING WARS OVER THE AVAILABILITY OF FOOD AND LAND. provide the affordable nutrition to be able to lower the tensions between people who are competing for the usable land create for the first time a happy and peaceful world.

6. Tilapia is now, this year become the fastest growing segment of the aquaculture industry and the aquaculture industry now as of this year delivering over half of the fish available as food.

7. TILAPIA IS going to become the most extensively grown fish in the world within the next ten years and will produce more revenue than all of the other species of fish put together.

In terms of revenue in U.S. dollars this will be over 10 billion dollars a year.

TILAPIA makes it possible to:

1.  Find World peace. By making possible the economical production of nutritionally complete food which will help feed the hungry.

2.  Feeding the hungry will help people to grow from happy children to happy,  nutritionally well balanced, psychologically balanced content adults that have have a feeling of well being that only a good diet can create.

TILAPIA WILL CREATE A BETTER ENVIRONMENT by reducing the cultivated land now needed to produce beef, pork, and poultry by 95 percent or more which will reduce the demolition of world forest to make room needed to make good pasture land and produce the grain crops now used for animal feed. 

TILAPIA will reduce global warming by increasing the total number of trees and foliage which will allow 95% more co2 removal and conversion into carbohydrates

This replacement of the hundreds and thousands of acres of land needed to grow animals feeding on grasses and grains with a few square feet of water covered land needed to grow the same weight of meat.  These few square feet of water will feed and grow the  same quantity of tilapia on a tiny fraction of the space. and will free up 98% of the land now in use for the purpose of raising beef, and allow us to stop stripping out our forest to create new land suitable for raising beef, pork. and poultry.

Some numbers to contemplate:  The numbers are approximations based on information fro specialist in each area AND ARE BASED ON THE CONVERSION RATES OF EACH ANIMAL AND THE ACREAGE REQUIRED TO CULTIVATE THESE FEEDS

1.  IT TAKES FROM 3-12 ACRES OF LAND TO GROW THE FEED AND PRODUCE THE GRAINS AND OR GROW THE GRASS TO PRODUCE 100 POUNDS OF BEEF PER YEAR.
      
2.  IT TAKES 2.5 -10 ACRES OF LAND TO PRODUCE THE GRAINS AND OR GROW THE GRASS TO PRODUCE 100 POUNDS OF PORK PER YEAR.

3.  It takes 1.5 -7 acres of land to grow the grains and or the grass to produce 100 pounds of poultry per year.

4.  It takes as little as .01 acres to produce the feed (algae) used to raise 100 pounds of tilapia fillets.  this is because one acre fertilised with 10 pounds of triple super phosphate will grow enough algae to produce 10,000 pounds of whole pennyfish which will yield 5,000 pounds of skinless boneless fillets.

LAND 1 ACRE……………………43,560 SQUARE FEET IN AN ACRE
——————————————————————                              
1.  It takes 3-12 acres of land to grow 100 pounds of  skinless BEEF …….130,680 SQ. FT.
PORK…….108,900 SQ. FT
POULTRY ..65,340 SQ. FT
pennyfish …….435 SQ. FT

The conclusion that a careful reader will come to is that the cultivation of tilapia, is REALLY a good thing, because of the amount of protein that can be produced by the farmer, which is 10,000 pounds of whole fish per acre where as all of the other choices require at least 150 times more land to produce the same live weight of animals.

An acre of land will grow enough algae to grow 10,000 pounds of whole tilapia per year/
All other tilapia can be produced at the same ratio if algae per pound of live fish.
If the farmer is growing tilapia nilotica or any of its form will get at most 3,200 pounds of skinless boneless fillet, where as a pennyfish grower will produce 5,000 pounds. in the same growing area.

Wait! it still gets better: the cost per pound of fillet produced each year will only be $1.00 FOR PENNYFISH compared with a cost of $3.00 per pound of skinless boneless fillet .
So
Pennyfish grow to 2,2 pounds each in 34 weeks at 85 degrees f. and yield 50% skinless boneless fillets. That is 34 weeks from 52 weeks in a year is a time ratio of 34/52 which means the pennyfish farmer is starting a second crop where the aurea grower is still waiting the 43 weeks it takes to get the aurea to the same harvest weight of 2.2 pounds each.

If this ratio is converted to days then the pennyfish crop takes 238 days and the aurea farmer is taking 301 days so the pennyfish tilapia grower has produced his 500 pounds of fillet in 238
days whereas the aurea farmer take 301 days to get 310 pounds of
skinless boneless fillets.

The pennyfish produce 2.1 pounds per day (IN THE SAME SPACE AND THE SAME AMOUNT OF FEED.,) while the t. nilotica is only producing one pound per day of skinless boneless fillets.

So on a year round operation you can grow 60% more for each dollar spent.

Estimated TOTAl cost to grow… nilotica….$1.04 per pound of fillet Estimated TOTAl cost to grow… pennyfish.$0.77 per pound of fillet

The space, labor and feed all cost three times more for nilotica than for pennyfish which is what makes the nilotica so much less profitable.

is that the generation cost? or the total per kwh cost charged on consumers? You’re missing the fact that there are higher costs of operation in Canada. Taxes are higher, distribution costs are higher (canada has a much larger land-mass), wages and salaries are higher…

You can’t make a direct apples to oranges comparison involving costs where canada and the philippines are concerned.

It is a fact however, that where per unit mass of fuel is concerned, nuke just wins out by far over coal and oil in terms of power production. Nobody is disputing the average costs. What’s in question is the whether the country has the necessary prerequisites for the safe and sustainable adoption of nuclear power.
