1 Introduction World fish production has increased dramatically during the past 60 years, to around 179 million tons in 2018 with a value of $401 billion, and global fish consumption also increased from 9.0 kg per capita in 1961 to 20.5 kg in 2018 (FAO 2020; Cojocaru et al. 2022). Most of this enhanced production is expected to be attributed to Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and is considered the second-most freshwater aquaculture after carps worldwide (Sunarto et al. 2022).
