Do fish fall in love like humans? Maybe not, but tilapia may be the only fish that has a breeding behavior similar to man, according to Dr. Westly Rosario, chief of the National Integrated Fisheries Technology Development Center (NIFTDC) here. "From courtship to taking care of the young, the pattern is almost the same,” Rosario said. The NIFTDC has been culturing tilapia in the last 15 years and its technicians have been observing their breeding behavior.
