As far as permits, the Federal Govt encourages Americans to grow their own food, so that is what you are doing, unless these are for your pond or aquarium, then again, ornamental use or food use does not need permits. Check local laws and restrictions but if the Govt US Dept of Agriculture says to grow your own food, then grow your own food! Obviously we are all responsible fish keepers, so dont dump your fish in lakes or ponds that aren’t yours. Common sense. Who does that? Not you. Practice environmentalism and conservation for your planet! We gotta take care of it! end of speech

Tilapia are the fourth most consumed fish in the United States dating back to 2002. The popularity of tilapia came about due to its low price, easy preparation, and its mild taste.
