Aquacultered Angel species...

[Anonymous]

What species, where?
I know there is only a few species, larvae captured and tank raised I think.
I'm a bit out of the loop on this, anyone that can catch me up a bit, I'll quote you on my article.

Just filling in some gaps in my Angel article for the Jan issue of AAOM.

Any help appreciated...deadline looming!

The Taiwanese have bred several species of angelfish (Pomacanthus asfur and P. maculosus) from eggs and have marketed juvenile fish. I am not sure whether they are still marketing these species.

Various species of dwarf angelfish have been bred (they lay eggs readily). Rearing them requires copepods that are generally harvested from the wild, because copepod culture methods are not reliable. So far, I am not aware of anyone breeding dwarf angelfish commercially (although it has been done, it is not economic).

I have a blueline angel, Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis that was purported to have been captive raised in Asia. Details are lacking, but a large number of very small (just post-juvenile) angels were available through a single LA wholesaler in 2001. Never saw them like that again, my guess is that the sales pitch that they were captive raised was accurate, but a one-off deal.

there is a farm in Taiwan raising or breeding them. They all seem to go to Japan though. I saw a shipment of TR maculosus (white & yellow), clownfish, and a few septetrionalis at various stages.
