study was undertaken to establish the optimum dietary indispensable amino acid (IAA) profile for yellow fin seabream broodstock based on the amino acid (AA) profile of broodstock, eggs and larvae of Acanthopagrus latus. Three isonitrogenous (40%) and isolipid (20%), named diets 1, 2 and 3 were formulated with different ratios of total essential amino acids per total non-essential amino acid...

 Seasonal changes of the thyroid gland structure and hormones secretion was examined in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) in the northwest of Persian Gulf (Musa creek). Thyroid gland composed of follicles scattered around the ventral aorta, near the gills. Follicular cells varied according to secretion of the gland during warm and cold seasons. Thyroid hormones (Triidothyronine [T3] and ...

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary essential amino acid (EAA) concentrations on the spawning performance of Acanthopagrus latus. Broodstocks were fed with three replicates of isonitrogenous and isolipid formulated diets (diet 1, diet 2 and diet 3) with different concentrations of EAA (15.40, 16.88 and 18.14%, respectively) for 138 days. Results showed relative fecundity...

Monthly samples of Acanthopagrus latus (Hottuyn, 1782) were used to determine (1) feeding habits and (2) reproduction characteristics of the species in relation to its size, spawning season and sex in the Northern part of the Persian Gulf from January to December 2013. The smaller length classes of all samples were dominated by male fish. All gonads examined, were ovotestis during the spawning ...

An ovigerous female of Argulus matuii Sikama, 1938 was collected from the body surface a yellowfin seabream Acanthopagrus latus (Houttuyn, 1782) in cove facing Bungo Channel off Ehime Prefecture, western Japan. This represents new host record for A. matuii, and is herein described. female, which fixed preserved 70% ethanol, showed prominent coloration, i.e., six streaks yellow fringed with dark...
