Abstract

Carangids are highly esteemed food fishes and have been evaluated as potential aquaculture species in different countries. Carangid fishes viz., Seriola quinqueradiata, Caranx mate and Trachinotus spp. are commercially cultured in Japan, Hawaii and USA respectively. Captive breeding and seed production of the silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii as well as the successful demonstration of farming of the hatchery produced pompano seed in earthern ponds is one of the breakthrough achievements of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in India.
