The Florida pompano is a popular choice for aquaculture because it is such a popular food and sport fish and is in high demand, and at the same time it has a fast growth rate, high dockside prices, [11] and a tolerance for low-salinity waters. [11] The typical market size of farm-raised pompano is 1 to 1.5 lb (0.45 to 0.68 kg). [12]
Their all tackle record for the species stands at 22.90 kg (50 lb 8 oz) taken off of Daytona Beach, Florida in 1990. [18] An earlier (1986) recognized record for a recreationally caught fish in Australia was 18.8 kg.

Invariably, b is close to 3.0 for all species, and the constant c varies between species. [6] Data from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission indicate, for the gafftopsail catfish, c = 0.000493 and b = 3.075 [7] The relationship described in this section suggests a 12-inch gafftopsail catfish will weigh about one pound, while a ...
