About Tanganyika Blue (Tanlake Samaki)

Tanganyika Blue is a pioneer in sustainable aquaculture specializing in the breeding and farming of native Tanganyika Tilapia (Oreochromis tanganicae). The company operates a large-scale cage culture farm on Lake Tanganyika and a land-based hatchery to produce high-quality fingerlings. By focusing on endemic species rather than invasive varieties, Tanganyika Blue aims to protect the lake’s unique biodiversity while establishing a commercial-scale protein supply chain and an outgrower program for local smallholder farmers.
