Abstract: O objetivo principal do estudo foi analisar a evolução do cultivo de tilápia no Brasil desde a sua origem até o presente momento, destacando os fatores limitantes e também os fatores favoráveis que contribuíram para a rápida expansão da atividade nos últimos anos. Os dados utilizados na pesquisa foram de origem primária e secundária. Os resultados mostraram que houve intenso crescimento da produção do peixe a partir de 1996, mas ainda não foram feitos os investimentos necessários para viabilizar o beneficiamento e a comercialização da tilápia em larga escala.------------------------The main objective of the study was to analyze tilapia cultivation performance in Brazil since its origins until the present moment.
