Breeding longfin yellowtail jack: Is it a candidate for European aquaculture diversification?

摘要

The longfin yellowtail jack (Serio/a rivoliana), also known as almaco jack, is suitable for aquaculture owing to its fast growth, excellent flesh quality and wide international markets. In the Atlantic region, research into the breeding and early rearing has been conducted by the Grupo de Investigation en Acuicultura in the Canary Islands, Spain. Broodstock development has been underway for several years and started when fifteen sub-adult almaco jack (S. rivoliana) were captured by local fisherman off the south coast of Gran Canada in July 2007.
