==Uses and aquaculture==
''Seriola lalandi'' has been established as a suitable candidate for marine [[aquaculture]]. In contrast to the culture of the [[Japanese amberjack]] (''S. quinqueradiata''), which has long been cultured extensively in [[Japan]], juveniles of ''S. lalandi'' are not easily available from the wild, and juveniles are produced in [[Hatchery|hatcheries]] from captive breeding stock. In 2010, the [[Clean Seas|Stehr Group]] in [[South Australia]] was the largest producer of cultured ''S. lalandi'' in the world. Trials elsewhere in Australia have been undertaken and in some cases abandoned after stock losses.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Page|first=Donna|date=2019-02-05|title=Controversial Port Stephens kingfish farm scrapped|url=https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/5888530/controversial-port-stephens-kingfish-farm-scrapped/|access-date=2021-05-04|website=Newcastle Herald|language=en-AU}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-08-31|title=Yellowtail kingfish farmed at Geraldton die|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2016-08-31/kingfish-die-in-geraldton-trial/7801756|access-date=2021-05-04|website=www.abc.net.au|language=en-AU}}</ref> Water quality concerns were raised following farmed kingfish mortalities in upper Spencer Gulf, South Australia in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2011-09-23|title=Concerns about kingfish deaths in upper spencer gulf|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2011-09-23/concerns-about-kingfish-deaths-in-upper-spencer/6318206|access-date=2021-05-04|website=www.abc.net.au|language=en-AU}}</ref> In the late 2010s, yellowtail kingfish farms were established near [[Geraldton]] and the Abrolhos Islands in Western Australia by [[Indian Ocean Fresh Australia]] and [[Huon Aquaculture]] respectively.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-08-03|title=Jobs to be created after aquaculture zone approved|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-03/wa-aquaculture-zone-gets-environmental-approval/8772272|access-date=2021-05-04|website=www.abc.net.au|language=en-AU}}</ref>
Some attempts have been made to culture the species in [[New Zealand]], both in sea cages and a large land-based system at [[Parengarenga Harbour]] (northern New Zealand). [[Chile]] is currently trialling seacage and land-based farming methods. In Germany ''S. lalandi'' is being cultivated in the first land-based [https://www.freshmercato.com/pi/EINKAUFEN/Verarbeitet/fresh-kingfisch-3000-4000g-filet-kg.html seafish-culture]. The Dutch company, The Kingfish Company, is planning to open a land-based aquaculture ''S. lalandi'' operation in Maine, U.S., in 2022. Most cultured ''S. lalandi'' is sold to the Japanese restaurant market for consumption as [[Hamachi (fish)|sashimi]]. Amberjack can be eaten in a variety of ways, including [[grilling]] and [[Dried fish|drying]].
