Nowadays
This is the especies with the highest potential development due to its quick growth and it is a good option to satisfy diversification of cultivated species.
Dibaq’s bet on this species by working with research centres and producers to develop a specific formula that requires a balanced protein (fat).
A very special herd swimming behaviour has also lead to the development of new feeding techiniques to optimize the highest efficiency.
It lives in the whole Mediterranean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean. They are erratic coast animales that live in small groups.
Voraceous fish eaters. The young ones can usually be found in estuaries.
It is fished with trawls, reed and rarely with bottom trawl.
Consolidated in cages, experimental tanks and ponds.
Sexual maturity starts after the second or the third year. Spawning is 68,182 eggs/lb at 60.8-68ºF. The eggs’ diameter is 990-1000 micron.
