This paper investigated the survival of sea cage cultured cobia when sea temperature dropped down to 12℃ during the winter time. 30 fish were stocked in a 50-L recirculating aquarium in a display refrigerator and the water temperatures were decreased at a rate of less than 0.5℃ per hour. When the water temperature reached 15.1℃, most of cobia settled to the bottom of the aquarium. The LD50 of cobia for low temperature was 12.1℃. Initial mortality was observed at 13.3℃, but all fish were dead by the time the temperature reached 11.2℃. The survival of sea cage cultured cobia were also observed when a serious cold current occurred in February 2008, Penghu. Sea cage cultured cobia began to die when the temperature dropped to 14℃, and 100% mortality had occurred by 11.5℃. Results of this study indicated cultured cobia required sea water temperature higher than 14℃.
