Intensive larval husbandry and fingerling production of cobia Rachycentron canadum
Aquaculture, 2008Abstract Methods and results of two larval rearing trials of cobia (Rachycentron canadum) are presented. These trials were designed to test the efficacy of protocols developed over several years of research in cobia larviculture at the UMEH. The protocols incorporate the use of probiotics and prophylaxis, minimize microalgae use, and include ...

Culture of cobia (Rachycentron canadum): cryopreservation of sperm and induced spawning
Aquaculture, 1994Abstract Studies toward the development of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) aquaculture were initiated. Methods of cryopreserving cobia sperm were compared and sperm motility was assessed after longterm frozen storage. Sperm stored in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide, 3 mM glucose, and 10% raw chicken egg yolk showed approximately 100% motility upon thawing ...

Optimal dietary methionine requirement for Juvenile Cobia (Rachycentron canadum)
Aquaculture, 2006An 8-week feeding experiment was conducted to quantify the dietary methionine requirement of juvenile cobia (initial weight of 11.61 ± 0.16 g, mean ± SD) reared in indoor flow-through and aerated aquaria. Six amino acid test diets (44% CP and 16% lipid), using fish meal and wheat gluten as intact protein sources supplemented with crystalline amino ...

Immunostimulatory effects of non-CpG oligodeoxynucleotides on cobia (Rachycentron canadum)
Aquaculture International, 2015Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with unmethylated CpG dinucleotides mimic the immunostimulatory activity of bacterial DNA in vertebrates through the recognition of cellular Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). We previously demonstrated that CpG motif, 5′-GACGTT-3′ (1668), and 5′-GTCGTT-3′ (2395) were highly immunostimulatory in cobia.

Energy budget of early juvenile cobia, Rachycentron canadum
2008Aquaculture is becoming increasingly important for the production of fish and other seafood for human consumption. With many wild fisheries worldwide being overfished or closed and human demand for seafood increasing, increased production of valuable species through intensive aquaculture is critical.

Time-course response of cobia (Rachycentron canadum) to acute stress
Aquaculture, 2009Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a promising candidate species for aquaculture. In order to evaluate potential problems resulting from husbandry practices, we conducted a study aimed to characterize their hematological response to acute stress. Levels of cortisol, glucose, lysozyme and ceruloplasmin were measured at five time intervals over 24 h ...

Association of Cobia, Rachycentron canadum, with Cownose Ray, Rhinoptera bonasus
Estuaries, 1982Field and laboratory observations on an association of cobia,Rachycentron canadum with cownose ray,Rhinoptera bonasus are reported. Cobia main-tained a position in close proximity to the back of the rays. The cobia would move away from the rays to take food presented.

Cobia Rachycentron canadum aquaculture in Vietnam: Recent developments and prospects
Aquaculture, 2011The paper presents a review of the recent developments in research and production of cobia in Vietnam in hatching and cage farming, which have made Vietnam the 3rd largest producer of farmed cobia in the world. Conservative estimations for the 2007 production for the Asian-Pacific region exceed 35,000 t, with remaining global production adding an ...
