We assessed (1) social acceptance of offshore aquaculture in the Florida Gulf Coast using public comments; (2) site suitability for offshore development using social, biological, and technical data; and (3) potential impacts of offshore aquaculture on communities using socioeconomic vulnerability indices. We found that many stakeholders distrust policymakers and industry and have concerns about potential environmental impacts. We created species-specific suitability maps for red drum (<i>Sciaenops ocellatus</i>) and almaco jack (<i>Seriola rivoliana</i>), demonstrating that large areas of the Gulf are suitable for offshore aquaculture development. We show that many coastal and fishing-reliant communities have existing vulnerabilities that aquaculture development could affect, but the public comments did not reflect these. To gain social acceptance, industry and government agencies will need to better incorporate public feedback into planning processes in a meaningful way.

Mixed culture of broodstocks and natural mating are commonly employed in hatcheries. To expedite the selection process for tomato grouper, we utilized ISSRseq technology for assisted future growth selection.

Although specific broodstock pairing information is unavailable, our results suggest that these fry likely originated from multiple broodstock exhibiting considerable diversity. Further analysis of genetic relationships among individuals revealed three main clades. One clade contained a higher proportion of faster-growing individuals (80%), while another featured a lower proportion of rapidly growing individuals (28.6%). Through the relatedness network and further exclusion of individuals, the faster-growth clade comprised 92.3% of fast-growing individuals.
