About
Tilapia is a common freshwater fish whose lean meat packs nearly as densely as liquid water.
Tilapia has a typical density of 8.18 pounds per gallon (0.98 grams per milliliter), meaning it takes up nearly the same space as freshwater. Because the fish tissue consists mainly of water and protein, diced fillets pack together with minimal trapped air. This density is very similar to other lean white fish, but it is slightly less dense than heavier red meats like beef. A standard one-quart container can hold about 2.05 pounds (0.93 kilograms) of tightly packed tilapia.
From Wikipedia
Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fish from the coelotilapine, coptodonine, heterotilapine, oreochromine, pelmatolapiine, and tilapiine tribes, with the economically most important species placed in the Coptodonini and Oreochromini. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish native to Africa and the Middle East, inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes, and less commonly found living in brackish water.
