Abstract
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål, 1775) is an economically important species with best biological characteristics for farming. It is valued as a food fish, especially in Southeast Asia. Milkfish aquaculture is an important source of income in many countries such as Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Much technical and scientific research has been documented for the development of feeds, farming systems, disease resistance of milkfish etc. This review discusses current scientific studies on milkfish in the relevant areas of aquaculture such as nutrition and feeding, farming systems, diseases, molecular genetics, and economics. It provides a global perspective that will be a benchmark for our current knowledge and facilitate a more oriented focus on the future research needs of this economically valuable fish. This review is helpful for the scientific community by providing an overview of the present state of knowledge, recent research, and developments in milkfish aquaculture.
