Atlantic Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara, the largest grouper in western North Atlantic, exhibits life history characteristics (e.g., it is slow-growing, long-lived, and late-maturing) that make particularly susceptible to fishing pressure. Otoliths, structure typically processed for age determination, are usually collected as part of fishery monitoring, but otoliths not available from Gro...

The Goliath grouper, Epinephelus itajara, a large-bodied (approximately 2.5 m TL, > 400 kg) and critically endangered fish (Epinephelidae), is highly vulnerable to overfishing. Although protected from fishing in many countries, its exploitation in Mexico is unregulated; a situation that puts its populations at risk. Fishery records of E. itajara are scarce, which prevents determination of its f...

The present study was carried out to assess the toxic effect and determine lethal concentration of dried garlic ( Allium sativum ) powder on orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides juveniles. Laboratory static bioassays were conducted 96-h LC 50 different concentrations (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 180 mg L -1 juveniles (mean weight, 35.4±6.18 g mean length, 13.2±0.51 cm). 74.78 with lower uppe...

Many fish undergo betanodavirus infection. To study the infection process of dragon grouper nervous necrosis virus (DGNNV), native virus and virus-like particles (VLPs) were used to analyse the binding and internalization in SSN-1 cells. The binding of DGNNV and VLPs to SSN-1 cells was demonstrated using Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. As estimated by indirect ELISA, the DGN...
