Tilapia in Mississippi
Raised in Mississippi
Can Tilapia be raised in Mississippi?
Tilapia can be raised successfully in the state of Mississippi. We have a growing number of Tilapia operations in the state, concentrated primarily in the lower 1/3 of the state. Most operations are small scale and produce either fingerlings or food sized fish. The primary market for food fish is to live haulers transporting Tilapia to markets on the east and west coasts or to the upper midwestern U.S.
