      And I just found out, that Pompano is one of the riches source of potossium in all fish species, that helps regulate blood pressure, improves muscle control and stimulates nerve impulse. It is high in healthy fat filled with omega-3 fatty acids. It's percentage of white meat is packed with high level of proteinn, vitamins and nutrients that can lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of a heart attack or stoke.  

    This fish is native to the Indo-Pacific region and is sought after for its tasty flesh. Juveniles inhabit sandy shorelines and shallow sandy or muddy bays near river mouths while adults move out in schools to clear seaward reefs, juveniles occur in small schools, while adults are usually solitary, However when cultured in cages, they ate observed to form schools. In nature they are reported to feed primarily on sand mollusks and other hard-shelled  invertebrates but they adapt very well to extruded feeds in pellet form which are now produced  commercially. They reach sexual maturity in three years.
