Cobia are found in the waters surrounding the Fiji Islands, including the Coral Sea, the Great Sea Reef, and the Yasawa Islands. The waters around Fiji are ideal for Cobia, as the warm temperatures and abundant food sources provide the perfect habitat for them to thrive.
Historically, Cobia has been an important species for the Fijian people. The fish has been a staple of the Fijian diet for centuries, and it is still an important source of food today. The Fijian people also use Cobia for medicinal purposes, as the fish is believed to have healing properties.
Cobia has also been an important part of Fijian history. In the late 1700s, the Fijian people used Cobia to trade with the Europeans who had arrived in the region. The Europeans were so impressed with the fish that they named it “Cobia”, which is derived from the Fijian word for “king”.
Today, Cobia is still an important part of the Fijian economy. The fish is highly sought after by both commercial and recreational fishermen, and it is also a popular dish served in restaurants throughout Fiji.
