the goal of this research is to study the effect of benzo-alpha-pyrene (bαp) as a pollutant on the plasma levels of cortisol, thyroxin (t4), and triiodothyronine (t3) hormones, and the t3/t4 ratio in the yellowfin sea bream, acanthopagrus latus. the bαp (50 mg kg-1) in vegetable oil was peritoneally injected. blood samples were obtained from the treated and control groups after 3 and 72 hr, res...

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...
