Brown marbled grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) is an apex predator from coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. All five published case series of ciguatera after consumption of brown marbled grouper were reviewed to characterize the types, severity and chronicity of ciguatera symptoms associated with its consumption. Three of these case series were from large outbreaks affecting over 100-200...

Grouper (Epinephelus spp.) is a group of fish species with great economic importance in Asian countries. A novel hybrid grouper, generated by us and called the Hulong grouper (Hyb), has better growth performance than its parents, E. fuscoguttatus (Efu, ♀) and E. lanceolatus (Ela, ♂). We previously reported that the GH/IGF (growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor) system in the brain and liver...

This study aimed to analyse the environmental quality based on opportunistic taxa and dominant of macrobenthic assemblages, comparing sediment under IMTA-aquaculture reference site, Karimunjawa National Park. Sediments were sampled between May October 2019, in two sampling times at IMTA cages which star pomfret (Trachinotus blochii) tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) farmed with 3 statio...

Ever-increasingly Citrus wastes have been generating during the industrial processing, which is troublesome to dispose them for considerations of economic feasibility and environmental protection. Meanwhile, liver disease, causes damage, one major threats further development aquaculture, especially in marine fish. The present study explored hepatoprotective effect PSCP, a polysaccharide extract...

The study aimed to test the effectiveness of ambon banana stems flour through feeding on health status and performance groupers reared in sea floating net cages. (8.27 ± 0.20 cm length 11.69 0.50 g weight) were 1 m × 1.5 cages with a stocking density 112 fish /m3 for 42 days. feed was commercial 46% 48% protein, which added 30 g/kg coating method. This consists three treatments replications, i....

In recent decades, vibriosis caused by Vibrio alginolyticus has become a severe threat to the global mariculture industry. There is an urgent need for effective vaccine alleviate this unoptimistic situation. study, we evaluated safety, immunoprotection, and specific non-specific immune response effect of Δ dctP strain as live-attenuated pearl gentian grouper (♀ Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂ lan...

Cage culture plays an important role in achieving higher output and generating more export earnings in Malaysia. However, the cost of fingerlings, feed and labour have increased substantially for cage culture in the coastal areas in Peninsular Malaysia. This paper uses farm level data gathered from Manjung, Perak and Kota Tinggi, Johor to investigate the technical efficiency of brackish water f...

In this study, we evaluated the effects of immersion freezing (IF) with coolant and air (AF) techniques different storage temperature (?18°C ?30°C) on quality groupers following frozen storage. Water loss rate, total volatile basic nitrogen, K-value, were positively correlated time. The pH first decreased then increased. Destruction muscle fiber structure led to changes in grouper texture chara...
