Snappers, salmon, tuna, milkfish, pompano, seabass, catfish, groupers, tilapia, and sea bass are some common fin fish types. Their regular consumption aids in improving cardiovascular health, brain function, eyesight, and skin, preventing oxidative stress to the thyroid gland, and repairing damaged tissues.

Their production also involves feeding, regular stocking, and conservation of aquatic life.
