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]
[5] [7] Later cobia juveniles can be raised in ponds or shallow, near-shore submerged cages. Juveniles thrive on a wide range of protein and lipid, but there are optimal levels where they get the most benefit. After an 8-week growth trial, juvenile cobia displayed a peak in their weight gain with a dietary protein concentration of 44.5%. [13]
