| Abstract: | The tilapias were formerly included in the genus Tilapia. Now only the substrate-brooders retain the generic name Tilapia, e.g. Tilapia sparrmanii, T. guineensis. There are two main kinds of mouth-brooders, Sarotherodon (e.g. S. galilaeus) and Oreochromis (e.g. O. mossambicus, O. niloticus, O. macrochir). In Sarotherodon brooding is paternal or biparental (where known), in Oreochromis maternal. All are included, with a few other genera, in the Tribe Tilapiini and may be referred to colloquially as tilapias, with a small ‘t’ and no italics. |
