Description Not Available
Cobia, Rachycentron canadum, commonly known as
Black Kingfish, is a fast growing warm water marine fish
with pinkish white flesh. It is considered as a promising
candidate species for farming due to its fast growth
rate, excellent meat attributes and easy adaptability
to farming conditions. In the Indian scenario, it has
the added advantage of being suitable for ecological
aquaculture production linked to rural fishing villages
along the long coast line. Envisaging the potential and
prospects for cobia farming in India, captive broodstock
development was first initiated during 2006 at the
Mandapam Regional Centre of ICAR – Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Tamil Nadu, India.
The first successful captive breeding and fingerling
production of cobia was achieved in 2010 in India by
the ICAR – CMFRI, Mandapam Regional Centre and
since then, cobia fingerlings are being supplied to
the entire coastal regions of the country for farming.
Cobia fish is popularly known by the common names
- Black kingfish, Black salmon, runner or sergeant
fish, crab eater and Sea Murrel.
