Tilapia have a high tolerance for various pollutants, which allows them to accumulate these harmful substances in their bodies. As these pollutants build up, they can damage vital organs such as the liver, gills, and kidneys.

Egypt ranks first in tilapia production in Africa and third globally. In 2021, it achieved a total fish production of 2.3 million tons across various species, with tilapia alone accounting for more than half of this output.
