Fish have distinct preferences for plants and there is need to identify those that will lead to good growth and production, especially in Africa where there is abundant natural and agricultural waste vegetation. Some plants may also be useful as substitutes for animal protein components in formulated fish feeds. The objective of this study was to identify terrestrial plants acceptable to Tilapia rendalli and 0. shiranus, the main tilapias cultured in Malawi.
