(Times of Israel) 600,000 tilapia fish were introduced into the Sea of Galilee this week by the Agriculture Ministry to boost the lake's dwindling fish population. The fish were raised in pools at Kibbutz Ginosar for four months. 300,000 silver carp were also introduced this week, while an additional 400,000 tilapia will be introduced in October. The fish will help clear the waters of toxins originating in seaweed and act as biofilters to balance the lake's ecosystem.
