 The National Seafarming Development Centre (NSDC) in Lampung, Indonesia, has succeeded in breeding the Coral trout Plectropomus maculatus. Around 100 healthy and active 10cm fingerlings have been produced from 50,000 fertilized eggs.
Although at an early stage of development, the result is very promising and further refinement of the hatchery techniques should enable improved survival rates of this new species for hatchery rearing. |
