- Groupers are fish of
any of a number of genera in the subfamily Epinephelinae of the family
Serranidae, in the order Perciformes.
- Grouper (Epinephelus
spp.) locally called inid or lapu-lapu is a high value fish with great
potential in aquaculture.
- The grouper is a
popular marine good fish in many parts of the world such as in Kuwait,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the
Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan,
Republic of China, Japan and Mexico.
- Groupers are widely
distributed in the tropical and subtropical coastal waters.
- Site selection is
the first and most critical step in establishing a grouper farm. Poor
site selection can lead to failure.
- Climate and weather
in the area are important considerations as they affect water quality.
The area should not be subject to abrupt
changes in temperature and
salinity.
- The main objectives
of pond preparation are to provide the culture organism with a clean
hard pond base and appropriate stable water quality.
- The demand for
grouper in the international market is fast growing particularly in Hong
Kong, Japan and Singapore.
- The annual grouper
fry/fingerling catch is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of
fish.
- The major proportion
of hatchery-produced grouper fingerlings originates in Taipei,
China.
- As production
technology for groupers and other marine
finfish species has
improved, there has been increasing
development of hatcheries and
hatchery production of several
species in Southeast Asia.
- Recent improvements
in hatchery production technology
have resulted in an overall
increase in the survival of grouper
larvae in hatcheries, which has
led to increased commercial
hatchery production of several species,
particularly orange-spotted grouper, brown-marbled grouper, and giant
grouper.
- Increasing market
demand for groupers with assured quality
(and food safety), produced
using environmentally sound farming
practices, will provide further
incentives for LRFF farmers to adopt improved environmental management
practices. |
