Intensive Marine Finfish Larviculture

Marine finfish production is a rapidly expanding field, both in research and industrial aquaculture. A driving force behind this growth is the inherently high value placed upon marine finfish products in the marketplace. With this higher product value, marine finfish production is perceived to be a relatively robust prospect for investment from the private sector. Additional catalysts for the trend towards increased investment in marine aquaculture include limitations on wild harvesting, projections for increased global seafood demand, and increasing interest in open-ocean aquaculture worldwide.
