Abstract Marine organisms that enter the Mediterranean from Red Sea via Suez Canal are known as Lessepsian bioinvaders. In general, genetic studies of fishes have shown little structure between and populations. Yet notable exceptions suggest importance life-history factors may influence patterns spatial variation. this study, by sampling two invasive with different life histories (the rabbitfis...

in an eight-week time period, the implications of pediococcus acidilactici, as a probiotic, were examined on growth index and the activity of gastric enzymes of aequidens rivulatus (green terror) (0.388±0.0021) in a completely randomized system. the fishes were input into nine oval-shaped ponds of 120 liters capacity with the density of about 60 pieces per pond, and fed twice a day. this study ...

Infection patterns of Mycobacterium marinum were studied over a period of 3 yr in wild rabbitfish Siganus nivulatus populations associated with commercial mariculture cages and inhabiting various sites along the Israeli Red Sea coastline. Mycobacteriosis was first recorded from the Red Sea in 1990 in farmed sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax and is absent from records of studies on parasites and dis...
