This brochure provides a practical guide to the hatchery, nursery, and grow-out culture of sea bass (Lates calcarifer), a high-value food fish cultivated in Southeast Asia. It outlines best practices for broodstock selection, induced spawning, larval rearing, and nursery management to ensure high survival and growth rates. Grow-out methods in ponds and cages are detailed, including optimal stocking densities, feeding regimes, and water management. A sample profitability analysis demonstrates the economic viability of sea bass farming, showing a high return on investment under proper culture conditions.
