چکیده
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. These data will be certainly useful for the Asian seabass aquaculture development and fisheries.

The fatty acid composition of farmed Tra catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was determined and compared to farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) and to wild-caught Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). Saturated fatty acids (SFA) were most abundant in catfish (42.6%) while salmon (37.2%) and seabass (39.0%) were rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Tra catfish contains Docosahexaenoic acid (DH...

Movement of individuals influences individual reproductive success, fitness, genetic diversity and relationships among individuals within populations and gene exchange among populations. Competition between males or females for mating opportunities and/or local resources predicts a female bias in taxa with monogamous mating systems and a male-biased dispersal in polygynous species. In birds and...
