Abstract
In a breakthrough development for the aquaculture industry, researchers from India’s Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) have successfully developed seed production technology for golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus), a high-value marine fish. Golden trevally is a reef-associated fish, commonly living alongside larger animals such as skates, sharks, and groupers. The fish shows strong potential for aquaculture, boasting fast growth rates, high meat quality, and significant market demand for both consumption and ornamental purposes. The researchers at CMFRI’s Visakhapatnam Regional Centre achieved successful captive breeding and larval rearing of the fish after five years of research, and it is hoped that this major development will open up a new avenue for seafood production, boosting India's aquaculture industry.
