Seabass (Lates calcarifer) is one of the top farmed and raised fish in Taiwan, scales are main by-product after processing. Fish contain high amounts collagen, which can chelate with minerals enhance mineral absorption human body. Hence, from seabass were enzymatically hydrolyzed to obtain scale collagen peptide (SBSCP). Calcium, most consumed supplement, was chelated SBSCP form SBSCP-Ca. The o...

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...

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of many fundamental biological processes. So far miRNAs have been only identified in a few fish species, although there are over 30,000 fish species living under different environmental conditions on the earth. Here, we described an approach to identify conserved miRNAs and characterized their expression patterns in differen...
