Fish Farming

Tilabras utilises the latest techniques in farming and in its expansion will utilize the best technology suitable for continuing the most sustainable practices in the local environment where we operate. Tilabras is expanding farming capacity, upgrading equipment, streamlining the farming operations and working to reduce operating costs.

Fish Processing

Tilabras processes their fish in-house, utilising a new, state of the art processing facility, allowing Tilabras to ensure quality, efficiency and access to new markets and channels.  

Hatchery

Tilabras is expanding and will create an internal hatchery to increase quality, reliability and consistency of fingerlings and the early stage larval rearing process.

 

Why Tilabras Tilapia?

Free-range Tilapia

Raising healthy and tasty fish requires plenty of fresh water, lots of space to swim and the natural rhythm of day and night. Tilabras operates in a unique location, allowing the sustainable production of tilapia well in tune with the surrounding environment.

Plant-based Feed

The fish feed at Tilabras is made of locally sourced grain, so this not only lowers the CO2 footprint but also provides more sustainable and healthier alternatives to normal fishmeal.

Health

The Tilapia are raised naturally, free from antibiotics and chemicals.  The low density within the floating pens grants a comfortable swimming range which enables excellent growth rates and very low mortality.
