50-52 degrees is lethal for most tilapia.

Hoping to have my aquaculture system at school up and running by December so I can have a late may harvest of tilapia.
Hoping is the key word...

Tilapia from a good water source are good to eat. However, I find myself going other directions after reading that a lot of tilapia are imported from overseas where they are raised in raceways positioned under chicken cages wehre they can feed on the dropped chicken feed and chicken shyt that falls through. They can live in some pretty nasty environments.

Great scott guys, they are great eating! I don't give a flip where they come from. Unless, they glow in the dark, I wouldn't get in a tizzy about their being from poluted waters. Bet yall think nothing of eating fish from the Tennessee river. lol
I'd as soon eat them from wherever as a catfish from all of the mainstream Tn river sewage treatment plants.
