Defining essential fatty acid deficiency in juvenile barramundi Lates calcarifer
Barramundi (Lates calcarifer), a catadromous teleost of significant and growing commercial importance, are reported to have limited fatty acid bioconversion capability, typical of marine species, and therefore require preformed long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) as dietary essential fatty acid (EFA). In this study, the response of juvenile barramundi (47.0 g/fish initial weight) f...
متن کاملDietary alpha-linolenic acid does not enhance accumulation of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in barramundi (Lates calcarifer).
This study examined the effects of substituting fish oil and fish meal with a blend of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3 n-3) rich vegetable oils (14%, w/w) and defatted poultry meal (34%, w/w) in a formulated diet, on growth and tissue fatty acid profiles in barramundi fingerlings. Results indicated that on average, while the ALA levels of the barramundi liver and fillet increased with increasin...
متن کاملA microsatellite linkage map of Barramundi, Lates calcarifer.
Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is an important farmed marine food fish species. Its compact genome (approximately 700 Mb) is among the smallest genomes of food fish species. We established a first-generation genetic linkage map of Barramundi with a mapping panel containing three parents (two males and one female) and 93 progeny. A total of 240 microsatellite markers were mapped into 24 linkage g...
متن کاملModelling Size-Dependent Cannibalism in Barramundi Lates calcarifer: Cannibalistic Polyphenism and Its Implication to Aquaculture
This study quantified size-dependent cannibalism in barramundi Lates calcarifer through coupling a range of prey-predator pairs in a different range of fish sizes. Predictive models were developed using morphological traits with the alterative assumption of cannibalistic polyphenism. Predictive models were validated with the data from trials where cannibals were challenged with progressing incr...
متن کاملIdentification of Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) DC-SCRIPT, a Specific Molecular Marker for Dendritic Cells in Fish
Antigen presentation is a critical step bridging innate immune recognition and specific immune memory. In mammals, the process is orchestrated by dendritic cells (DCs) in the lymphatic system, which initiate clonal proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes. However, fish lack a classical lymphatic system and there are currently no cellular markers for DCs in fish, thus antigen-presentation ...
