A large group of red hybrid tilapia wait to be fed in a densely crowded floating pen at a fish farm in Thailand. Overcrowding is common problem in aquaculture, which can affect the health of the fish being raised.

Workers pick up sedated red hybrid tilapia from a floating pen to be weighed and sorted during the harvest at a fish farm in Thailand. Clove oil is a fast acting sedative that is used to calm fish prior to the harvest, making it easier for workers to handle the fish and minimize damage to them from too much struggling.

Workers sort sedated red hybrid tilapia during the harvest at a fish farm in Thailand. Those fish large enough to be sold are tossed into plastic drums, while the smaller fish are tossed back into floating pens. To deliver to certain supermarket chains, the weight and condition of the fish is strictly regulated, thus sedative is regularly used during the harvest to reduce damage to the fish from their struggling.

A worker fills plastic baskets with live Nile tilapia during the harvest at an industrial fish farm in Thailand. The fish will be carried in these baskets to a metal table where they will be sorted by size and tossed into other baskets where they will wait to be transferred to oxygenated water in the back of a pickup truck. From the time they are harvested until the time they are moved to the transport truck, the fish are kept out of the water.

A worker tosses a large scoop of food pellets into the floating pen at a red hybrid tilapia farm in Thailand.

A worker uses a dip net to scoop up a group of juvenile tilapia which become piled within the net as they are lifted out of a transportation tank. The fish will be transferred to a mobile floating cage which will be used to relocate the animals to an Indonesian fish farm in the area, where they will raised until they reach market-size.
