other farmed fish. It is the fourth most-consumed seafood
in the United States after shrimp, tuna and salmon. China,
the world's largest producer of farmed tilapia, supplies approximately 40% of global production. Nearly 40% of
this is exported to the U.S., mainly as frozen fillets.
Tilapia can be farmed in either fresh or salt water.

Most Chinese tilapia is farmed in ponds.
Recent reductions in water use, achieved by only emptying
the ponds at the time of each harvest, has also reduced
discharge of effluent to the environment. Both of these
factors were sufficient to raise this recommendation
from its previous "Avoid" to a "Good Alternative."
