A study was carried out in the laboratory on the adaptability and tolerance of the Tilapia fingerlings, Oreochromis sp. to different salinities. This data has provided important information on the possibility of its culture in marine environment or brackish water. We investigated the histopathological changes and behavioral changes of the fish challenged with four different salinity treatments including a control (0, 5, 20 and 35 ppt) for 96 hours. The Tilapia fingerlings with
the size 10-14 cm total length acclimated successfully to freshwater before introduced to hyper-saline environment. [ Hassan M, Zakariah MI, Wahab W, Muhammad SD, Idris N, et al. (2013) Histopathological and Behavioral Changes in Oreochromis sp. after Exposure to Different Salinities.]
