Seafdec research advances 'rabbitfish technology'
Excerpt
Seafedec/AQD has been doing research on rabbitfish (Sigamus guttatus). The research has led to the successful breeding and seed production of the species under captive condition. The first induced spawning of wild adults and larval rearing of rabbitfish was done by Seafdec/AQD in 1983. After two years, a year-round natural spawning of captive adults and mass production of fry occurred in the hatcheries. In 1986, the lifecycle of the rabbitfish was completed in captivity. In 1988, a refinement and verification of the hatchery technology was made and in the following year, larval diet was formulated for early juveniles.
