“…Identified as a promising candidate for aquaculture, this species is considered a high‐value food fish (Alvarez‐Lajonchère & Tsuzuki, ) and plays a vital role in economically important recreational fisheries within the Unites States (Collins, Heagey, & Switzer, ). Studies focused on optimization of captive breeding (Rhody, Puchulutegui, Taggart, Main, & Migaud, ) and larval rearing (Costa Filho et al, ; Tarnecki & Rhody, ) have led to improved aquaculture technologies for common snook. Despite these advances, cannibalism in post‐larval stages still presents a significant bottleneck to commercial‐scale production (Alvarez‐Lajonchére & Tsuzuki, ; Soligo, Garcia, & Cerqueira, ).…”
