Market characteristics

Reduces water usage and Barramundi (Asian Seabass) is widely popular due to its strong adaptability and excellent feed conversion rate even when fed a diet high in vegetable components. Many regions around the world have their own methods of preparing Barramundi, which has steadily expanded the market for this fish. The primary product demand is for fresh whole fish or fillets. Additionally, there are not many value-added products for Barramundi, indicating significant potential for future market growth.

In colder environments, Barramundi's growth rate slows down, and they become more susceptible to diseases. Moreover, Barramundi has low fat content and delicate flesh, requiring quick freezing, vacuum packaging, and slow thawing to ensure optimal texture. This is one of the reasons why Barramundi is predominantly consumed locally.
