Off-flavors in pond and recirculating aquaculture systems have occurred through the biological production of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol. The compounds are rapidly absorbed through the gills of fish, but depuration can require days or weeks.

The experiences of tilapia farmers combined with effective quality control programs implemented by government have improved production in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and other Latin American countries.
Intelligence
The most important quality issue for tilapia is the presence of off-flavors that derive from cyanobacteria and actinomycetes, which can be addressed by depuration.
