Therefore, breeding technology support farming is fundamental be developed. Yellowfin Indonesia has been successful cultivating broodstock. This paper discusses biometric data that changes during cultivation, such as condition factor, hepato and gonad...

We measured red cell space with 51Cr-labeled red blood cells, and dextran space with 500 kDa fluorescein-isothiocyanate-labeled dextran (FITC-dextran), in two groups of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares). Red cell space was 13.8+/-0.7 ml kg-1 (mean +/- s.e.m.) Assuming a whole-body hematocrit equal to the hematocrit measured at the ventral aortic sampling site and no significant sequestering of...
