I would love to see more facilities like this. I like the conservation aspect of what they are doing. The fully mature fish that are too large to keep In captivity any longer, they release.

Excellent and informative! Great video.

I am so thrilled that mahi mahi breed so easily in captivity. Mahi mahi is my favorite fish and I want to be able to grow my own on my property some day.

Thank you sir for this education. Looks this pompano is gift of God to humankind. Moreover researchers like you can help guys like me understanding life cycle. Jussojuan

Thank you for the very engaging video and education. Hope this research facility continues...and perhaps to include some Tuna and Salmon in the future! 🐟 👍

They did blackfin tuna for a bit, but they're not easy to keep in tanks

Awesome! How about releasing bunch of them out in the nature?

As stated in the video, the females release an incredible amount of eggs. This is a high fecundity species. They have no problem repopulating in the wild.

i had an idea like the video, but I was wondering if regular people can grow fish but not farm them but release them after certain size. For example mutton snapper if I were to farm them until they reach 12" then release them to the ocean that way there more in abundance just a thought.

Guys, releasing farm raised Mahi Mahi into the wild will not increase the population of wild Mahi Mahi. However reducing commercial fishing pressure on Mahi Mahi, due to Mahi Mahi fish farms, will increase both the population and average size of Mahi Mahi in the wild.

Captain mike have you ever boated a blue marlin? Do you target them at all? Why is the blue marlin fishing so poor around the Miami area when it’s so good here off the SC coast where I live.

Florida Sport Fishing Lol you don’t marlin fish much do you. the term ‘boated’ or ‘landed’ in the blue marlin world means to kill and bring the fish aboard. Almost every marlin tournament has a ‘landed’ category. The 5 tournaments in SC the minimum size limit is 105 inches to kill in a tournament. And it usually pays well over $100,000 if you are the only team to boat a fish. Other than that yes always release

We need more videos of this place . Do they have their own channel ?

The answer for what

we should cross breed mahi with red snapper or cobia or other species and pass that gene that allow them to grow fast.

@blakew.5736

6 жыл бұрын

David Fray Cross breeding is almost definitely impossible considering how different these species are. The amount of time since mahi shared a common ancestor with snappers or cobia is probably tens of millions of years, so genetically they’d be very unlikely to be able to interbreed. They could possibly isolate the gene for fast growth found in mahi and insert that but there would need to be a lot of testing to see how that affects the development of snappers and cobia. I hope that someone’s working on that though!

This fish is classified as "Least Concern" conservation status meaning this is one of the rare species that restock themselves faster than we can take them.

A dolphin is a mammal and breathes air. A fish has gills. Mahi Mahi is a dolphinfish. Not a dolphin.

The little bit of info was cool. But… just talk normal next time. No need to make it super slow , drag it out , make exaggerated expressions. We talk slow here in Tennessee as well. However , this video is almost cringe worthy due to the actions and awkwardness of your gestures. 👍🏻 other than that. It was definitely interesting and I learned a few things.

It does have many benefits, when farmed/fed properly. - Capt Mike

Any health benefits from fish could easily be found in a plant based diet. Fish is high in cholesterol, fish are sentient beings who feel pain, and the fishing industry kills one dolphin every minute. End this demand now, boycot animal exploitation!
