To comply with the relevant legal requirements and correct labelling, it is necessary for business operators and inspection authorities to know the natural characteristics of the raw material. This study gives a comprehensive overview of muscle flesh composition of farmed and wild Atlantic turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and of farmed pangasius (Pangasianodon hyp...

The age of whole otoliths from barramundi (Lates calcarifer) obtained the southern Gulf Carpentaria were estimated using Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. Otoliths 1716 collected in 2006, 2009 and 2012–2015 used this study. Partial least-squares regression models (PLS-R) multiple linear (MLR) developed diffuse reflectance spectra was traditional sectioned otoliths. Calibrat...

Effect of ration level and dietary docosahexaenoic acid content on the requirements for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer), Aquaculture, 433, pp. 164-172. 1 Title: Effect of ration level and dietary eicosapentaenoic acid content on the requirements for docosahexaenoic acid by juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer). Abstract 27 Juvenile barramundi we...

Different modified atmosphere conditions with various CO2 concentrations on microbial load (psychrophile, mesophile aerobic and anaerobic bacteria) and physico-chemical properties of barramundi (Lates  calcarifer Bloch) fillets stored at 8°C were compared to determine the best packaging conditions. The gas conditions evaluated were 100% CO2 (M1), 75% CO2/25% N2 (M2), 50% CO2/50% N2 (M3), 25% CO...

Barramundi (Lates calcarifer, Bloch, 1790) also known as barramundi has high commercially important. Its utilization is not limited to meat, but the swim bladder it produces. Knowledge of genetic aspects very important in designing improvement and conservation activities for this fish. The purpose study was identify species collected from Pesisir Pantai Payum, Merauke Regency using Cytochrome O...

This study examined the effects of substituting fish oil and fish meal with a blend of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3 n-3) rich vegetable oils (14%, w/w) and defatted poultry meal (34%, w/w) in a formulated diet, on growth and tissue fatty acid profiles in barramundi fingerlings. Results indicated that on average, while the ALA levels of the barramundi liver and fillet increased with increasin...

Barramundi (Lates calcarifer), a catadromous teleost of significant and growing commercial importance, are reported to have limited fatty acid bioconversion capability, typical of marine species, and therefore require preformed long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) as dietary essential fatty acid (EFA). In this study, the response of juvenile barramundi (47.0 g/fish initial weight) f...

The Biotronic® Top3 (OCAP: organic acids, cinnamaldehyde, and permeabilising complex) is used for improving microbial community in monogastric animals. This research was aimed to test the five dosages of OCAP (0%: control, 0.05%: OCAP0.05, 0.10%: OCAP0.1, 0.15%: OCAP0.15%, 0.20%: OCAP0.2) barramundi (Lates calcarifer) (8.3 ± 0.3 g) eight weeks. results showed a linear relation between level gro...
