Peter's fish", which comes from the narrative in the Gospel of Matthew about the apostle Peter catching a fish that carried a coin in its mouth. In English, it is sometimes known by the name "St. Today, in Modern Hebrew, the fish species is called amnoon (probably a compound of am, "mother" and noon, "fish"). Tilapia were one of the three main types of fish caught in Talmudic times from the Sea of Galilee, specifically the Galilean comb ( Sarotherodon galilaeus). Tilapia painted on tomb walls, is reminiscent of spell 15 of the Book of the Dead by which the deceased hopes to take his place in the sun boat: "You see the tilapia in its form at the turquoise pool", and "I behold the tilapia in its nature guiding the speedy boat in its waters." It was also said to accompany and protect the sun god on his daily journey across the sky. It was a symbol of rebirth in Egyptian art, and was in addition associated with Hathor. The aquaculture of Nile tilapia goes back to Ancient Egypt, where it was represented by the hieroglyph K1, of the Gardiner list: 𓆛. History The Tomb of Nakht, from 1500 BC, contains a tilapia hieroglyph just above and to the right of the head of the central tall figure. Traditionally, the fish is either fried as an individual food or boiled as part of a dish in the country. It is also a traditionally popular food in the Philippines, also known for its low cost and mild taste. The popularity of tilapia came about due to its low price, easy preparation, and mild taste. Tilapia has been the fourth-most consumed fish in the United States since 2002. Tilapia can become a problematic invasive species in new warm-water habitats such as Australia, whether deliberately or accidentally introduced, but generally not in temperate climates due to their inability to survive in cold water.
Historically, they have been of major importance in artisanal fishing in Africa, and they are of increasing importance in aquaculture and aquaponics. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes, and less commonly found living in brackish water. Tilapia ( / t ɪ ˈ l ɑː p i ə/ tih- LAH-pee-ə) is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes (formerly all were "Tilapiini"), with the economically most important species placed in the Coptodonini and Oreochromini.
