Although farming of Tilapia has been going on for thousands of years, the breeding of Tilapia did not start until recently. The first breeding program started in 1988 in a collaboration between the international center for living aquatic resources (ICLARM or WorldFish) and Akvaforsk.
Fish farming or pisciculture involves commercial breeding of fish, most often for food, in fish tanks or artificial enclosures such as fish ponds. It is a particular type of aquaculture , which is the controlled cultivation and harvesting of aquatic animals such as fish, crustaceans , molluscs and so on, in natural or pseudo-natural environments.
Cobia, a warm water fish, is one of the more suitable candidates for offshore aquaculture. [1] [2] Cobia are large pelagic fish, up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long and 68 kilograms (150 lb) in weight. They are solitary fish except when spawning, found in warm-temperate to tropical waters.

[1] As early as 1950, Villadolid introduced the practice of farming tilapia. He started with the Oreochromis mossambicus species of tilapia sourced from Thailand.
World capture fisheries and aquaculture production by species group [1]. The global commercial production for human use of fish and other aquatic organisms occurs in two ways: they are either captured wild by commercial fishing or they are cultivated and harvested using aquacultural and farming techniques.
Wine is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages worldwide, with people drinking it for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Especially in light of red wine’s place in the Mediterranean diet ...
However, new species are now being farmed offshore although little is known about their ecology and epidemiology. [2] The implications of transmitting pathogens between such farmed species and wild species "remains a large and unanswered question". [27] Spreading of pathogens between fish stocks is a major issue in disease control. [27]
