A large, fast-growing fish (Rachycentron canadum) found in tropical and temperate waters, valued for food and sport fishing.
From a West African Creole or Portuguese word, brought into English through contact with tropical fishing industries. The exact origin is debated but may relate to 'cob' (rounded).
Cobias are now farmed commercially and they're basically aquaculture's dream fish—they grow ridiculously fast, convert feed efficiently, and can survive in crowded conditions better than almost any other species!
