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...

Characterization of the Functional Domain of β2-Microglobulin from the Asian Seabass, Lates calcarifer

BACKGROUND β2-Microglobulin (β(2)M) is the light chain of major histocompatibility class I (MHC I) that binds non-covalently with the α heavy chain. Both proteins attach to the antigen peptide, presenting a complex to the T cell to be destroyed via the immune mechanism. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, a cDNA sequence encoding β(2)M in the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) was ide...

Identification and Characterization of 63 MicroRNAs in the Asian Seabass Lates calcarifer

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of many fundamental biological processes. So far miRNAs have been only identified in a few fish species, although there are over 30,000 fish species living under different environmental conditions on the earth. Here, we described an approach to identify conserved miRNAs and characterized their expression patterns in differen...

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...
