| ► Description: |
Tarpons
arose from an ancient lineage, and just two
species exist today, confined to the tropics
and subtropics: Megalops atlanticus in the
western and eastern Atlantic and Megalops
cyprinoides distributed widely across the
Indo-West Pacific. The Atlantic tarpon is
considered king of the saltwater sport
fishes and supports a multi-billion dollar
recreational fishery in the U.S. alone. The
Pacific tarpon, which is much smaller, is
less valued by anglers. Both have limited
commercial value but offer considerable
potential for future aquaculture because of
their hardiness, rapid growth, and ease of
adaptation to captivity... |
