Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer

Lates calcarifer, commonly known as the Asian sea bass or barramundi, is an 16 interesting species that has great aquaculture potential in Asia including Malaysia and also 17 Australia. We have investigated essential fatty acid metabolism in this species, focusing on 18 the endogenous highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) synthesis pathway using both 19 biochemical and molecular biological appro...

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...

Evaluation of potential Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) culture in ponds of Choebde, Abadan

Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) is a potential candidate species for rearing in pond system in Iran because of its fast growth rate, ability to adapt to varying environmental conditions and its demand in domestic as well as export markets. Hence, growth parameters, survival and body composition of Asian seabass (20.70±0.36 g) was investigated. Experiment was conducted in three ponds In Choebde...

Analysis of Stress-Responsive Transcriptome in the Intestine of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) using RNA-Seq

Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and regulated pathways in response to stressors using a whole-genome approach is critical to understanding the mechanisms underlying stress responses. We challenged Asian seabass with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Vibrio harveyi, high salinity and fasting, and sequenced six cDNA libraries of intestine samples using Roche 454 RNA-seq. Over 1 mi...
