    Janani,
    It is not clear from your message whether you are talking about the whole fish or fillets. If whole fish, Pam Tom's suggestion is a good one. If you are observing this in the fillets, perhaps something akin to "greening" in tuna might be at play.

    Hello everyone,

    I was wondering if it is possible for farmed tilapia to have green coloration without any off-odors or flavors or any other signs of decomposition. Are there any enzymatic reactions that could trigger this coloration? Or is this a sign of decomposition?

     

    Thanks and Best wishes for the upcoming year!!!
