Marine finfish aquaculture production continues to expand around the world, with new species, sites, and production processes continuing to develop in this growing industry. The yellowtail jacks (Seriola spp.) are increasingly viewed as some of the most promising marine finfish species for both ocean-based and land-based culture operations due to a number of favorable aquaculture production characteristics. However, there are notable differences between individual Seriola species, not only from biological and physiological standpoints, but also when it comes to production strategies and market considerations. Such differences have made it difficult for both prospective and existing producers to implement production strategies that maximize the profit potential associated with the various Seriola species being cultured throughout the world. Advancements in fish bioenergetics research have allowed for important insights to be gained which can be directly applied to help develop effective strategies for maximizing the production potential and growth efficiencies of Seriola in the aquaculture industry. Bioenergetics applications and findings will be presented, including aspects of comparative physiology between Seriola spp. and other high-value marine fish species. Specific case examples related to various commercially-relevant Seriola species and the regions and systems utilized for culture of these high-value marine fish will be discussed. Improved understanding of bioenergetics in Seriola aquaculture can aid in improving the economic viability and ecological sustainability of culture operations.
