    Perhaps it might be a feed issue?

    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!!!
