In Taiwan, cobia of 100 to 600 g are cultured for 1.0 to 1.5 years until they reach 6 to 8 kg. They are then exported to Japan, China, North America, and Europe. Around 80% of marine cages in Taiwan are devoted to cobia culture. [11] In 2004, the FAO reported that 80.6% of the world's cobia production was in China and Taiwan. [13]
In Taiwan cobia weighing 100–600 grams are cultured for 1–1.5 years to reach the 6–8 kilograms (13–18 lb) needed for export to Japan. Currently, around 80% of marine cages in Taiwan are devoted to cobia culture. [2] In 2004, the FAO reported that 80.6% of the world's cobia production was by China and Taiwan. [4]
Family: Rachycentridae – Cobia Prodigal son, cobia, Rachycentron canadum (Linnaeus, 1766) (Warm waters of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, occasionally reaching False Bay) [3] Family: Xiphiidae – Swordfishes Swordfish Xiphias gladius Linnaeus, 1758 (Namibia to Natal) [3]
The genus contains a single living species, the cobia (Rachycentron canadum), and the Late Miocene fossil species Rachycentron stremphaencus from Maryland. [2]
The distinctive ventral blotches appear relatively suddenly as the ray ages; the paired blotches outside the gills develop first, followed by the blotches further back. [7] A known predator of this species is the cobia (Rachycentron canadum). [2]
Lactococcus garvieae is a known fish pathogen affecting saltwater fish in the Far East, specifically in rainbow trout, Japanese yellowtail, Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) [1] and grey mullet (Mugil cephalus). This bacteria causes lesions in the vascular endothelium, leading to hemorrhages and petechias at the surface of internal organs. [2]
This will be done by identifying the key environmental and social impacts associated with the farming of three types of Seriola (S. rivoliana, S. quinqueradiata and S. lalandi) and cobia, and principles established for addressing each impact. [5] Then, criteria will be developed to provide direction on how to reduce each impact.
Corymbia stockeri, commonly known as blotchy bloodwood, [2] is a species of small tree that is endemic to Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. It has rough, tessellated bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, creamy white flowers and barrel-shaped to urn-shaped fruit.
