The State of Seriola spp. Other Than Yellowtail (S. quinqueradiata) Farming in the World
2016
Sicuro, Benedetto | Luzzana, Umberto
The aim of this review is to provide an update of Seriola spp. farming in the world, excluding yellowtail (S. quinqueradiata), and to identify strengths and weaknesses of these species as candidates for aquaculture diversification in different areas of the world. Farmed Seriola species other than yellowtail are yellowtail kingfish (S. lalandi) in Japan and Australia, longfin yellowtail (S. rivoliana) in the United States, greater amberjack (S. dumerili) in Japan, the Mediterranean and more recently Vietnam, and Pacific yellowtail (S. mazatlana) in North and Central America. Candidate countries for Seriola spp. farming development are China (although there are no published production statistics to date), New Zealand and the Canary Islands. The main bottlenecks for further expansion of Seriola spp. farming appear to be disease impact, lack of genetic improvement programs, and incomplete knowledge of nutrient requirements. Extensive experience from Japan, where the success of Seriola spp. farming has been based on an integrated system between producer associations, research institutes and central government, it is clear that the aforementioned technical bottlenecks need to be addressed within a framework of medium-term public policies supporting aquaculture development.
