Summary:In recent years finfish mariculture has been growing rapidly on a global basis mainly due to the development and expansion of sea cage farming. It has increased at an annual growth rate of 9.3 % from 1990 to 2010. Salmonids, amberjacks, sea breams, sea basses, croakers, groupers, drums, mullets, milkfish, turbot, other flatfishes, snappers, cobia, pompano, cods, puffers and tunas are the major groups which are maricultured. One of the major reasons for the growth of sea cage farming of marine finfish is the availability of breeding and seed production techniques of high value marine finfishes.
