Good Day Ramon

Good Day RAMON

I was under the impression that TILAPIA was regarded as a alien species in the WESTERN CAPE. please forgive my ignorance if I was wrong. We have a good water source and is totally
insulated from any open water BERGRIVER nearest by +- 30 kms.As we are in the process of
planning a large aquaponic indoor system I am very interested in adding TALAPIA Please
advise me Thanks and best regards dsmalan@yahoo.com
