Oversupply of blue swimming crabs vs. black chin tilapia: Lessons for Thailand's aquatic resource management The phenomenon of oversupply of blue swimming crabs in Kao Yot, Rayong Province, has caused small-scale fishermen in Kao Yot Province to ask for help from tourists to buy the large number of blue swimming crabs they have caught. This reflects the success of the abundance of marine resources, demonstrating food security and effective environmental management by responsible agencies, especially during the period when Thailand is dealing with black chin tilapia in many provinces. This phenomenon shows that Thailand's marine resources are still abundant, which is the foundation of food security. It not only reflects the abundance of marine resources, but also a good example of effective environmental management through cooperation from all sectors, including the government, private sector, and communities. The combination of conservation and wise use of resources leads to sustainable food security. Similarly, the black chin tilapia is not the first invasive fish to enter the country's ecosystem, but it is a fish that can reproduce rapidly and invade local aquatic animals.

Global tilapia production is on track to surpass 7 million metric tons (MT) in 2024 as the species rebounds from Covid-19 related drops in production.
