Two new species of Lates Cuvier are described. Lates lakdiva, new species, from western Sri Lanka, differs from its IndoPacific congeners by its lesser body depth, 26.6‒27.6% SL; 5 rows of scales in transverse line between base of third dorsalfin spine and lateral line; 31‒34 serrae on the posterior edge of the preoperculum; third anal-fin spine longer than second; 47‒52 lateral-line scales on ...

In this study, relationships between flow variation across multiple temporal scales and the distribution and abundance of three fish species, western rainbowfish Melanotaenia australis, sooty grunter Hephaestus fuliginosus and barramundi Lates calcarifer were examined at eight sampling reaches in the Daly River, Northern Territory, Australia. Discharge was highly seasonal during the study perio...

Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is a fish that has high economic value and the potential to be developed in Indonesia. One of species reported barramundi infest Neobenedenia girellae. This study aims determine prevalence intensity parasitic worm girellae waters Lampung Situbondo. Sampling with size 21 - 30 cm as many 40 from 50 Situbondo waters. The results showed there was infestation on 92% alm...

In Australian populations of barramundi Lates calcarifer, phylogenetic reconstruction of mtDNA sequences provided evidence of significant historical levels of gene flow, despite the substantial structuring of contemporary populations. The geographical pattern of mtDNA sequences among the populations was not congruent with previous evidence of a major disjunction between western and eastern popu...

The Burdekin River contains a distinctive fish fauna characterised by endemic species and species of biogeographic significance, and by a distinct disjunction in the distribution of many species due to the presence of a large waterfall (now the site of a very large impoundment) located in the lower quarter of the river's length. Downstream of the falls, large estuarine and catadromous piscivore...
