It is reasonable to assume that this species can be grown at a relatively low cost of production. While jade perch do accumulate significant stores of body fat, they are well suited to filleting and provide a high recovery rate of flaky, white flesh. They are a perfect candidate for aquaculture production and are recommended in Aquaponics systems.
Jade Perch contains high levels of omega-3. They do not handle the colder months and their behaviour decreases in intensity as the temperature drops and appears that under 18c feeding will almost stopped. The Jade Perch are very well suited to grow-out in recirculating systems and make an excellent beginners species.
