Value adding and supply chain development for fisheries and aquaculture products in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga: PARDI tilapia products: sensory evaluation report of Samoa.

Abstract

Nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus) is an introduced low-value freshwater fish in the Pacific which can easily adapt to a wide variety of breeding environments. However, this fresh water fish has limited scope for consumption in the fresh form in Pacific Island countries like Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Tilapia could be used to alleviate food security issues in light of the increasing fishing pressure and climate change threats
