Encyclopedia > Seriola quinqueradiata

Seriola quinqueradiata or commonly called yellowtail is a fish which is greatly appreciated in Japan. Part of the consumed fish are wild caught fish but a substancial part of consumed yellowtail is farmed (about 120.000 tonnes per year). Every year in May, farmers are fishing for the small wild fry (mojaco) which can be found under the floating seaweed. They scoop out the seaweed together with the small fry and put the small fry in net cages in the sea. The small fry are grown until they reach 10-50 g and are sold to farmers which grow them until hamachi (3 kg fish) or until buri (5 kg fish). These days most farmers are using extruded pellets to feed the fish.

Abstract Mushiake (288 words)
Yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata is one of the most important species for fishery stocks in Japan.
The annual catches of yellowtail declined to 27,000 tons in 1977 and many attempts to release of artificially produced yellowtail juveniles were made.
Thus, owing to the progress in technical developments of broodstock management, larger yellowtail could be produced and the mean body weight of fish reached 2.3 kg (maximum 2.8 kg) in only one year, markedly higher than the wild-caught fish that only grew to 1.5 kg (Figure 1).
