Abstract

In celebration of UMDI-Sisal's 20th anniversary, the Experimental Biology group for Aquaculture and Conservation at UMDI-Sisal in southeastern Mexico has consolidated its focus on research of the common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) to advance aquaculture and conservation. This review focuses on research on common snook conducted at UMDI-Sisal, rather than providing a general state-of-the-art overview of the species. It analyzes bibliographic and bibliometric data on common cnook aquaculture and conservation, highlighting progress in broodstock management, breeding, digestion, dietary requirements, and osmoregulation. Research has also examined its ecological role and its impact on fisheries. The new knowledge has also helped develop strategies to mitigate adverse impacts on their natural population. The findings contribute to an understanding of the environmental and human-induced effects on marine species and support conservation efforts. UMDI-Sisal's work has been crucial in integrating government, academia, industry, and local communities for sustainable common snook management and food production technologies in southeastern Mexico.
