It is named for its gorgeous coloration, with a silvery-gray back that shimmers with pale blue fluorescence. The blue sapphire fish has delicious meat, with a flavor superior to the famous grouper. It is an important food and game fish in the United States and enjoys the reputation of America's "number one fish". In 2003, the Marine Branch of the China Association of Senior Professors applied for project approval to introduce it, and in 2004 fry were bred at Laizhou Huachi Aquatic Products Co., Ltd. Following on-site inspection, 400,000 blue sapphire fish fry have now been successfully bred, of which 120,000 are commercial fry over 5 cm
