A number of sillaginid species have been the subject of brackish water aquaculture in Asia and India, [6] with species including S. japonica commonly bred for consumption. In Australia, research has been undertaken in the breeding of sand whiting and King George whiting, and so far only sand whiting shows promise for commercial viability. [52]
