If you have a place with nonstop water flowing source ,it would be much simple and easy to farm tilapia . You don't need a pond nice and cost as this.Any form of Mimi reservoir is ok. With good water sources , you can build a fish factory ,no anymore a farm . The only thing to do is go to find the way to lower the tilapia feeds .

Hi it depends on your stocking density and at how many grams you choose to harvest. Let’s say you stocked 4500 fingerlings,at 12fingerlings/sqr mtr and if you harvest at 300grams you simply multiply by number of fish . So in this case About 1300kgs
