In this study, a microsatellite-based multiplex PCR panel for meagre (Argyrosomus regius) was developed as useful and single tool in parental assignment population studies. Twenty-one specific interspecific microsatellites from different aquaculture species of regius), Japanese (A. japonicus), red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) yellow (Acoupa weakfish) were assessed genetic variability, allelic ran...

The aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of feed ingredients on protease activities of Argyrosomus regius larvae using in vitro techniques. A. regius larvae fed on a commercial feeding procedure were sampled thirteen times, during the sampling period (from 3 to 32 days after hatching (DAH)). The differences observed in protease activities of meagre larvae during the samplin...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to describe the first report of Ichthyobodo spp. infection in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) fry in a marine aquaculture facility in Turkey. METHODS The material of the study was composed of 30 meagre A. regius in 2-3 g weight taken from the fry adaptation unit of a fish farm in the Aegean Sea. In this study, parasitological and pathological examinations were p...

Osteocalcin is a small (45 amino acids) secreted protein found to accumulate in bone and dentin of many organisms by interacting with calcium and hydroxyapatite, through the presence of three gamma-carboxylated residues. In this work, we describe the first X-ray crystal structure for a nonmammalian osteocalcin, obtained at 1.4 A resolution, purified from the marine teleost fish Argyrosomus regi...

Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) is a fast-growing marine teleost and promising candidate for the diversification of Mediterranean aquaculture industry. Information on specific dietary requirements necessary to improve competitiveness meagre farming. While essential fatty acids (EFA) requirement fingerlings was previously estimated, knowledge regarding EFA on-growing juveniles still lacking. To asse...

The larval development of the kob, Argyrosomus holo/epidotus is described and illustrated from a series of specimens collected in Algoa Bay, South Africa. Larvae are moderately deep bodied (BD = 30% BL) with a convex dorsal profile and trunk tapering to a narrow caudal peduncle. The head is large, increasing from 22% BL in preflexion larvae to 35% BL in juveniles. Pre-anal length increases from...
