A new record of Siganus sutor from inland artificial marine extension Shatt al-Basrah canal, south Iraq, is reported.Two specimens were collected during an ichthyologic survey on 2 November 2021. The are 127 and 129 mm in total length. This Iraqi waters represents the species’ second northernmost appearance northern Indian Ocean.

We used microsatellite markers to assess the population genetic structure of the scribbled rabbitfish Siganus spinus in the western Pacific. This species is a culturally important food fish in the Mariana Archipelago and subject to high fishing pressure. Our primary hypothesis was to test whether the individuals resident in the southern Mariana Island chain were genetically distinct and hence s...

This research is about "Growth Rate and Survival of Baronang Siganus canaliculatus Fish Given Different Types Feed Frequency in the Floating Net Cages. The lasted as long for 6 (six) months from May to October 2018.The design this study used a factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) using 2 factors treatment, namely: (1) 50% trash fish, papaya leaves, 25% fish & 75% leaves. (2) frequen...

One of the most degraded states of the Mediterranean rocky infralittoral ecosystem is a barren composed solely of bare rock and patches of crustose coralline algae. Barrens are typically created by the grazing action of large sea urchin populations. In 2008 we observed extensive areas almost devoid of erect algae, where sea urchins were rare, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. To determine t...

The author presents a system for speech synthesis that selects and concatenates speech segments (units) of various size from an adequately prepared audio-visual speech database. The audio and the video track of selected segments are used together in concatenation to preserve audio-visual correlations. The input text is converted into a target phone chain and the database is searched for appropr...

Siganus fuscescens, which is a small commercially important marine fish, is wildly distributed in shallow waters throughout the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific and Eastern Mediterranean regions. It is part of a group known as rabbitfish. Fifteen new polymorphic microsatellite markers for S. fuscescens were identified, and 32 wild individuals were used to evaluate the degree of polymorphis...
