Thousands of fish from early spawns are being used for ongoing research to define optimal larval and juvenile grow-out methods. Further research is planned for grow-out to market size, harem formation, and optimized broodstock harem formation. The critical information obtained from the first aquaculture research on hogfish shows great aquaculture potential as a possible foodfish candidate and for species conservation.
