As marine finfish aquaculture production continues to expand worldwide there is a burgeoning interest in species of the genus Seriola. A number of species within this genus have proven to be prime candidates for culture in both high-energy offshore aquaculture conditions as well as in advanced land-based recirculating aquaculture systems. Globally, there are a number of commercial operations farming Seriola species. While aquaculture production of all of the primary Seriola species (i.e., S. lalandi, S. quinqueradiata, S. rivoliana, and S. dorsalis) has proven to be technically feasible and under certain conditions economically viable, there is still ample room for production efficiencies to be improved in both offshore and land-based production systems. Bioenergetics research offers an opportunity to directly assess production efficiencies, while offering insights into factors which may be altered to help improve the overall aquaculture production of the species. Past and present bioenergetics work on various Seriola species will be discussed, with a specific focus on recent comparative bioenergetics research trials of S. rivoliana and S. dorsalis that have been carried out. As commercial production advances with these species in the U.S., results of this research will help elucidate opportunities for further improvement in profitability and sustainability in the culture of these marine fish species.
