Is this specific to tilapia or is the species of fish incidental in this particular case?

According to the Wikipedia link to the bacteria posted in another comment:

"Vibrio vulnificus is the most common cause of death due to seafood in the United States, causing over 95% of deaths that are known to have occurred due to ingested seafood."

No, this seems to affect raw or undercooked seafood in general.
