feeding behavior of yellowfin seabream larvae during the first two weeks of larval life was studied by feeding larvae  on different ratios of live food and  microencapsulated diet (med). food consumption rate increased progressively with increasing larval weight. the results from visual observation of the larval guts under a light microscope indicated that yellowfin seabream larvae were able to...

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...

this study reports the incidence of histological alterations in morphometric changes in the liver and ovary of acanthopagrus latus collected from an urban stream impaired by anthropogenic activities and from a clean site (reference). mercury concentration was determined using a standard cold vapor atomic absorption. the results showed that mercury concentration at the creek waters, and speciall...

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...

Ž . The performance of microdiets MDs for larvae of marine fish is frequently improved when they are co-fed with Artemia. This suggests that nutritional factors in the live food are positively influencing the ingestion, digestion and assimilation of the MD. This paper reviews recent advances in MD development on the gilthead seabream with special emphasis on studies that isolated, identified an...

l- carnitine has been recognized as a new and important dietary supplementation, essential for human and animal nutrition. this study was conducted to evaluate the use of dietary l- carnitine supplementation and its effects on the growth (body final weight, daily growth rate (dgr), feed efficiency (fe), feed conversion ratio (fcr), daily feed intake  (dfi), protein efficiency ratio (per), lipid...

Yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus , is one of the most important species in terms stock enhancement China. However, using metagenomic techniques to explore feeding habits and stomach microbiome yellowfin seabream still rare. The objective this work was study sea bream from Daya Bay through analysis different weight classes (?50, 50–100, >100 g). Whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing ...
