A total of 34 fishes, belonging to the yellow-finned sea bream Acanthopagrus latus were collected, in April 2008 from Khor Abdullah northwest Arabian Gulf, by using trawler net. Fishes surveyed for parasites. The study revealed presence two species parasites first one is a monogenetic trematode, Polylabris mamaevi and second digenetic Paradiscogaster farooqii. detection P. farooqii present repr...

A 30-day study was carried out to determine the influence of different weaning strategies (WS) on growth and survival rates, stress resistance, digestive enzyme activities whole body fatty acid profiles in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) larvae. Thus, eight WS were designed by combining live foods (LF) (rotifers Artemia) a microdiet (MD) (Gemma Micro™, Skretting). In control group (100...

The total lipid content and composition of fatty acids of the liver and muscles of wild and cultured male and female Acanthopagrus latus were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. There were quantitative differences between individual fatty acids in the tissues investigated depending on sex and location. In all the samples studied, sex and location considered, the principle saturated fatty a...

Concentrations of cadmium, cobalt, cupper, iron, manganese and nickel were determined in four organs (liver, gills, ovaries muscles) Acanthopagrus latus, which belong to family Sparidae collected from Al- Razazah Lake. Heavy metals have been by means Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. The fish average weight was 378 g the length 215 mm. Iron showed highest value (1029.114 μg/g dry weight), wh...

feeding habits of yellowfin seabream, acanthopagrus latus was investigated in coastal waters of the northern persian gulf. this investigation was conducted by monthly sampling of thirty fish from september 2011 through august 2012. fish size ranged from 17.98 ± 2.07 to 32.31 ± 6.52 cm in total length and from 134.01 ± 45.62 to 720.46 ± 292.58 g in weight. the highest value of gastro-somatic ind...

A complementary DNA (564 base pairs) encoding for the mature region of the growth hormone (GH) of yellowfin porgy Acanthopagrus latus was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. This resultant DNA fragment , ypmGH cDNA, was inserted into baculovirus expression vectors, pAc7 , under the control of the polyhedrin promoter. A 22 kDa pro tein, similar to that of authentic GH , was expressed intrace...
