New aquaculture candidates
Global aquaculture is growing at a breathtaking speed. The quantities produced every year are not only increasing, the range of species farmed is also broadening. Some of them will probably remain niche products in the foreseeable future but others have the potential to conquer the world market. The time it takes from the development of efficient farming technology to large-scale production of a fish species is constantly decreasing. The success story of Pangasius proves that-provided the quality and the price are right-it often takes only a few years for a new fish species to capture the world market. While most fishes are currently still produced in the freshwater segment, it seems that the future will soon belong to marine species. This article presents several species that are considered to be particularly promising candidates for aquaculture. A lot of them are already produced in aquaculture but have still not made the definitive breakthrough-some of them for technological reasons, others due to economic considerations. At present, there are two fish species that are considered to stand a particularly good chance of market success: Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) and cobia (Rachycentron canadum).
