Authors

Keywords:

Rachycentron canadum, food habit, reproductive biology, marine fish farming

Abstract

This article presents a review of the biology and the state-of-the-art of the culture of cobia (Rachycentron canadum), a native species to Brazilian coastal waters, which, in the last few years, has been targeted as a potential candidate for marine fish farming in Brazil. Main research findings related to feeding, age and growth, reproduction, larviculture, growout, nutrition and feeding, diseases and market that were published until January 2013 are presented and discussed.
