To the Fujian Institute of Oceanography (FJIO), China and to CYTED (PROJECT P116RT0054) Red Larva plus. The deficit of fisheries resources, the increase in the world population and the growing per capita consumption of fish (20,5 kg 2020), are some of the factors that have led to greater investment in world marine fish farming. The statistics for 2019 presented a consolidated and growing Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) industry, with the highest world production (2.615.962 tons) of a species cultured in the sea. In addition to salmon, other marine fish present significant advances in technological development with productions greater than two hundred thousand tons, European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) 263.214 tons, gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) 258.753 tons, and the large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) 225.547 tons. These advances have encouraged interest in culturing new species in regions that have little tradition of marine aquaculture, such as Latin America. The Sciaenidae family made up of 289 species in 69 genera, presents in addition to the large yellow croaker, several species with important productions and other species with high potential for culture. This work compiles the main factors of success and problems generated in the aquaculture industry of Sciaenidae and also makes reference to the state of technological development and future perspectives of emerging species of the Sciaenidae family in Latin America. El déficit de recursos pesqueros, el aumento de la población mundial y el creciente consumo per cápita de pescado (20,5 kg 2020), son algunos de los factores que han llevado a una mayor inversión en la piscicultura marina mundial. Las estadísticas de 2019 presentaron una industria del salmón del Atlántico (Salmo salar) consolidada y en crecimiento, con la mayor producción mundial (2.615.962 toneladas) de una especie cultivada en el mar. Además del salmón, otros peces marinos presentan importantes avances en el desarrollo tecnológico con producciones superiores a las doscientas ...
