A new research article published in the journal Aquaculture highlights the emergence and mini boom of Vietnam’s hybrid grouper industry. Though relatively new to commercial aquaculture, hybrid grouper farmers report that the fish is one of the most valuable commodities they produce, generating more profit for farmers than other mainstays of Vietnamese aquaculture like carp or cobia.
If Vietnam’s hybrid grouper farmers can navigate production constraints like the limited availability of fingerlings and lack of aquafeed suppliers, hybrid grouper could enhance Vietnam’s aquaculture portfolio, securing its position as a leading producer.
