It’s nice to start off the new year with a new aquacultured marine fish species:  juvenile Koran Angel (Pomacanthus semicirculatus). Read the official press release from Quality Marine:

Quality Marine is excited to start the New Year by offering yet another new aquacultured species: juvenile Koran Angel (Pomacanthus semicirculatus). We are an ardent supporter of aquaculture and are continually searching for new producers both in the US and around the world. We believe aquaculture to be a key component in continuing to uphold our sustainable industry standard.

Back in 2011, the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Lab in collaboration with Rising Tide Conservation were the first in the world to successfully produce captive bred specimens of Pomacanthus semicirculatus and now this momentous achievement has been recreated in Indonesia MORE
