Species of yellowtail jacks, collectively referred to by their common genus as Seriola, are produced throughout the world in tropical and temperate marine waters in both land-based and offshore aquaculture systems. As Seriola have grown in popularity in the aquaculture industry, fish farmers are increasingly looking to improve the overall production efficiencies of these high-value marine fish. To optimize the aquaculture performance of a fish species, it is critical to understand the energetic demands, especially under specific environmental conditions. Optimal rearing conditions for fish species vary depending on multiple factors, including species-specific life history. While some bioenergetics research has been conducted in the past on several temperate species of Seriola (i.e., S. lalandi, S. quinqueradiata, and S. dorsalis), there is virtually no information on the bioenergetics of the S. rivoliana, commonly known as the Almaco jack. Almaco jack has been identified as one of the prime candidates for warm water marine finfish aquaculture development in the U.S., and it is currently being produced commercially in Hawaii, USA. Results of ongoing bioenergetics research on Seriola will be presented, including assessment of the aerobic performance of S. rivoliana under a range of water temperature conditions; comparable to temperatures encountered by both ocean-based and land-based producers. Comparative bioenergetics analysis with other Seriola species will also be discussed. The collaborative research results will provide novel insights on optimal rearing temperatures, water velocities (i.e. optimal swimming speeds), and overall bioenergetics to improve the production efficiency of Seriola species under commercial settings.
