Turkey's Kili{ Aquaculture tests the waters with Bluefin TunaFirst efforts promising

摘要

The culture of bluefin tuna (BFT) has become an increasingly important objective in Mediterranean aquaculture. Till now most BFT culture has been done not through traditional aquaculture methods but through fattening in ocean pens. To this end wild BFT are harvested in the Mediterranean by seine net and transferred to offshore cages where they are fed with frozen fish (i.e. sardine, pilchard, and squid) for a few months before sale, primarily to Japan where it is used in sushi and surimi.
