Proposed Activities for 2008

Seed production for stock enhancement of humphead wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus

The humphead or Napoleon wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus, is one of the largest and most valuable reef fish. It is considered threatened; hence, it is listed in the Appendix II of CITES in 2004. The breeding and artificial seed production technologies of this species will be developed in 2008;

  • Broodstock management techniques will be developed, and studies on improvement of survival and growth of larvae/fry on day 0 – 14 will be started.
  • Broodstock and juveniles will be collected, and growth performance will be studied under captive condition.
