Description Lates calcarifer species is widely distributed in
the tropical and subtropical areas of the western Pacific and Indian
ocean including Australia, Southeast Asia, the Philippines and
countries bordering the Arabian sea. Seabass spend most of their
life in a lagoon which connects to the sea. They spend two to
three more years in estuarine areas until they mature, then migrate
to the sea water around the mouth of a river or lagoon for
spawning. Larvae and juveniles live in the sea grass bed in coastal
areas for about six months, attaining a size of about 2 to 5 inches.
The fish migrate to freshwater when they grow bigger.
