A Baby Story

Not your typical baby story, this is one of ten baby cobia, who are being raised as part of an aquaculture class at JCU.  They will be cared for and monitored carefully over six weeks during which time wate quality must be tested daily and the cobia must be fed four times daily. 
     Cobia are a typical aquaculture species, raised for their high-quality meat, the fate of these guys is as yet unknown to me, but I would like to think they will have a happier ending.  But for now I'm focusing on raising them to be big and healthy and ignoring what may lie ahead for them, because as they say, ignorance is bliss.
