History:
Native to the tropical (and parts of the Northern sub-tropical) Indo-Pacific; used for centuries as a foodfish in Southeast Asia and Oceania; farmed in ponds and coastal enclosures for at least 700 years in Indonesia, 400 in the Philippines and Taiwan and 300 in Hawaii; farming has been based, until recently, entirely on the capture of wild fry.
Production Statistics:
According to FAO (1997) the leading countries in production of farmed milkfish are Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan which produced about 157,000, 151,000 and 63,000 tons respectively in 1995. Production of farmed milkfish occurs on a much smaller scale in some Pacific islands; for example in 1995, Guam 25t, Kiribati 50t. Milkfish production increased continuously until the late 1980's but declined during early 1990's mainly because of detoriation of spawning grounds (reefs), nursery grounds (mangrove areas) and fry collecting grounds (sandy coast lines)(SEAFDEC 1995). |
