The family sparidae is represented in Pakistan by 14 species belonging to eight genera: the genus Acanthopagrus with four species, A. berda, A. arabicus, A. sheim, and A. catenula; Rhabdosargus, Sparidentex and Diplodus are each represented by two species, R. sarba and R. haffara, Sparidentex hasta and S. jamalensis, and Diplodus capensis and D. omanensis, and the remaining four genera are repr...

Yellow finned sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) is a commercially important fish of coastal water Pakistan. It widely consumed by the people within and outside country. Therefore, paper investigates concentration macro-minerals (Ca, K, Mg Na) in its meat gills. The concentrations different elements demonstrated statistically significant difference (P < 0.01) between gills fish. Significantl...

Morphological asymmetry was analysed in two marine fish species Acanthopagrus arabicus and Planiliza klunzingeri, brackish freshwater habitats southern Iraq. For both species, specimens from the Shatt al-Arab River al-Basrah Canal exhibited greater values for snout length. In locations examined, levels of physical traits increased as grew. The high may be linked to heavy metal pollutants aquati...

The present study was conducted using geometric morphometric analysis of otolith to discriminate stocks of the predominant species of genus Acanthopagrus in the west and east of Strait of Hormuz. Samples were taken from 5 regions in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea from March 2016 to March 2018. The 145-otolith samples were obtained from the Arabian yellowfin sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus). Th...

This work describes the optimization of pressure–time combination for inactivation Listeria monocytogenes in fish medium using a wide range pressure (225–525 MPa) and holding time (5–30 min). Thereafter, yellowfin seabream ( Acanthopagrus arabicus ) filets (100 g each) were subjected to high-pressure (HP) treatment at optimum pressure/time combination, impact HP on amino acid profile, fatty pro...

the distribution of yellowfin seabream populations in estuaries and inland rivers in coastal area of the persian gulf and strait of hormuz is presented. based on morphological and mersitic characteristics and also color pattern, these populations are assigned to the recently described sparid fish, acanthopagrus arabicus iwatsuki, 2013 which is distinguished by pelvic and anal fins vivid or stro...

Otolith shape analysis is one way to identify stocks of different fish species in the marine environment. Length, width, area, perimeter, form factor, aspect ratio, roundness, circularity, ellipticity and rectangularity analyses of otoliths were undertaken to assess patterns of spatial and temporal stock structure of a wide-ranging fish, the Arabian yellow fin sea bream Acanthopagrus arabicus. ...

Analysis of the shape properties of fish otolith is one way to identify stocks of different species in the marine environment.

The ability of the sand fly Phlebotomus (Adlerius) arabicus to transmit Leishmania tropica was studied experimentally using hyraxes (Procavia capensis), natural reservoir hosts of the parasite. Sand flies became infected with L. tropica after feeding on a lesion of needle-inoculated hyrax. Moreover, P. arabicus fed with L. tropica promastigotes transmitted the parasite to hyraxes by bite during...
