Abstract

Many coral reef fishes are very important commercial fish species. Some species like groupers and snappers are highly esteemed food fish while others are collected and used as aquarium display. Their habitat, the coral reefs, has been destroyed through destructive fishing. The culture of groupers and snappers is becoming extensive especially in Southeast Asia due to increasing demand. However, expansion is hindered by unreliable and limited supply of seeds for stocking in grow-out ponds and cages. At present, most of the seeds are collected from the wild and is slowly becoming scarce. Several research institutions have been doing work on grouper and snapper seed production in an attempt to augment the natural seed supply.
