Description Among the many high-value marine
tropical finfish that could be farmed
in India, the silver pompano, Trachynotus
blochii is one of the topmost, mainly due
to its fast growth rate, good meat quality
and high market demand. The species is
able to acclimatize and grow well even
at a lower salinity of about 10 ppt and
hence is suitable for farming in the vast
low saline waters of our country besides
it's potential for sea cage farming.
