Abstract
The shortage of freshwater resource in many countries leads to a shift to develop aquaculture in brackish water and sea water. Tilapias are euryhaline that can thrive from freshwater to full sea water. They and their hybrids are the best candidate species for cultivation in brackish habitats. Thus, understanding their osmoregulatory mechanisms will help to breed or genetically engineer salt tolerant species. In this paper, we review recent progress in understanding the mechanisms of osmoregulatory adaptations in tilapia.
