Description Silver Pompano, Trachinotus blochii is one of the ideal
species suitable for brackish water aquaculture in
earthen ponds as well as for Mariculture in sea cages,
mainly due to its fast growth, good meat quality
and high market demand. Apart from having a good
taste and with fewer spines, Silver Pompano has
high levels of Omega 3 fatty acids such as EPA and
DHA in their meat. The Silver Pompano, also called
as snub nose pompano is caught only sporadically
in the commercial fishery and hence its availability
is rather scarce
