The Hatchery Technology of Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) to Support Cultivation and Development of Sustainable Fisheries Industry
摘要
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) is a widely recognized consumption fish that can be cultivated in ponds. It holds significant economic value due to the consistently increasing demand for milkfish each year. This demand arises from local consumption and its use as live bait for tuna fishing and broodstock needs in hatchery activities and the export market. The growing need for milkfish for export presents a positive business opportunity. As an essential aquaculture commodity, milkfish has many advantages, including its appealing taste, relatively affordable price, resistance to disease, noncannibalistic nature, ability to be cultivated in polyculture with other species, and euryhalinity, which allows it to thrive in various habitats such as brackish water, seawater, and freshwater.
