Critical thermal limit and behavior of the Barramundi (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) fingerling exposure with different temperature

Acute and postexposure effects of ammonia toxicity on juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer [Bloch]).

Lethal and sublethal effects of ammonia toxicity to juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) were investigated under laboratory conditions following the OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals. Acute toxicity was tested in a static nonrenewal system at pH 9.0 and temperature around 29 degrees C. The 24-, 48-, and 96-h LC(50) values for barramundi were 3.89, 3.67, and 3.31 mg total ammonia N L(-1...

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...

A 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...

Length-Weight Relationship of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) from Pichavaram Mangrove Wa- ters, South East Coast of India

The length-weight relationship of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, Centropomidae) was estimated for the first time based on a wild population; specimens were collected from Pichavaram mangrove waters during October 2003 to September 2004. A highly significant correlation between length and weight, as a relative condition changing in the course of the year, were particularly observed. Thes...
