Abstract

Breeding and seed production of marine fishes depend extensively on quality broodstocks, induced maturation, spawning, larval rearing, live feed culture, and the availability of good quality water. Following the successful seed production of Cobia, Silver pompano, Indian pompano, Vermiculated spine foot, Pink ear emperor, and Orange-spotted grouper and the farming demonstration of those species in marine cages and brackishwater cages/ponds, popularized the technology among the farmers about its suitability for aquaculture. Pompanos are marine fishes in the genus Trachinotus belongs to the family Carangidae. The genus Trachinotus, occurs in all tropical oceans and comprises 19 species (Fricke et al., 2019). Trachinotus blochii is a deep-bodied carangid usually found around shallow coastal waters over rocky and coral reefs. Occasionally they are in small schools. The availability of silver pompano in the commercial fishery is relatively scarce, and its high market demand raises the potential for culture along the Indian coast.
