Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV), an iridovirus in the genus Ranavirus, is a major pathogen that results in significant economic losses in grouper aquaculture. To investigate further its infective mechanisms, for the first time, a viral DNA microarray was generated for the SGIV genome to measure the expression of its predicted open reading frames simultaneously in vitro. By using the viral D...

This research was carried out to identify the different layers and cells of orange spotted grouper brain for further toxicological experiments and defects brought by xenobiotics during exposure periods.The anatomy and histology of the brain of orange spotted grouper was illustrated and compared to mammals and other fishes. The preserved structures of teleosts brain species were different as com...

Groupers are mostly found in the reef-associated marine habitat, of which some pelagic and others demersal. Recently, a grouper species called Oblique-banded grouper, Epinephelus radiatus (Day, 1868) was newly reported while conducting research work on availability fishes St. Martin Island. This had never been to occur not only from this coral reef area but also water Bangladesh. E. easily iden...

Introduction Implementation of Casemix system needs a well-organized and computerized system with well-trained and oriented staff, otherwise the system will fail. Improving knowledge and understanding of the funding system among staff and managers in hospitals and health systems can provide the groundwork for service improvements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Intro...

Marine fish abundance and distribution often varies across spatial scales for a variety of reasons, and this variability has significant ecological and management consequences. We quantified the distribution of reef-associated fish species along the southeast United States Atlantic coast using underwater video survey samples (N = 4,855 in 2011-2014) to elucidate variability within species acros...

Vibrio harveyi strain E385 was isolated from a diseased cage-cultured grouper in Daya Bay, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed similarity with V. harveyi strain BAA-1116. We sequenced the pathogenic strain V. harveyi E385 and compared the genome with that of the nonpathogenic strain V. harveyi BAA-1116.

An assessment is made of the repeatability of parasite community structure in space for a marine fish, and in space and time for a freshwater fish from south-eastern Mexico. The marine fish species was the red grouper, Epinephelus morio (collected from 9 localities), and the freshwater species was the cichlid, Cichlasoma urophthalmus (collected from 6 localities: including monthly at 2 localiti...

The Edwardsiella piscicida-like sp. is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobe that causes disease in some fish species. We report here the complete genome sequence of a virulent isolate from a diseased white grouper (Epinephelus aeneus) raised on the Red Sea in Israel, which contains a chromosome of 3,934,167 bp and no plasmids.

In many tropical nations, fisheries management requires a community-based approach because small customary marine tenure areas define the spatial scale of management [1]. However, the fate of larvae originating from a community's tenure is unknown, and thus the degree to which a community can expect their management actions to replenish the fisheries within their tenure is unclear [2, 3]. Furth...
