Abstract
Recent advaces in the spontaneous and hormoneinduced breeding of caged sea bass (Lates calcarifer bloch, Family Centropomidae) are reviewed. Spontaneous spawnings follow a semilunar rhythm, with most spawings accurring in the evening of quarter moon. Independent of the Lunar-associatd rhythm, mature sea bass which have attained the critical oocyte size of 0.40 mm spawns after an injecton or implantation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) Pelleted LHRHa along together with methyltestosterone can advance sexual maturation and spawning in April-May, ahead of peak breeding in July-August. Depending on the pelleted or injected LHRHa dose, mature female sea bass spawns singly or consecutively over 4 evenings. LLHRHa-induced egg release peaks during the first day of a multiple spawning bout. Daytime injection of LHRHa stimulates spawning in the evening until dawn, while fish injected LHRHa at night induces spawning at daytime and releases fewer eggs compared to nighttime spawning. these results optimize the use of LHRHa to stimulate gonad maturation and spawning so that sea bass seed are made available for hatchery rearing and grow-out.

Ammonia excretion rates of the sea bass, Lates calcarifer, in fresh and sea water
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1994)The weight-specific ammonia excretion rate of sea bass (Lates calcarifer) fry in fresh water is higher than that of those in sea water. The allometric equation \(y = 24.426 \times ^{-0.4714}\) best describes the relationship between the ammonia excretion rate (y, in µg total \(NH_{3}-N/g/hour)\) and body weight (x, in g wet weight) for fry in fresh water and \(y = 19.891 \times ^{-0.6712}\) for fry in sea water. The ammonia excretion rate of sea bass fry in fresh or sea water did not significantly increase or decrease during prolonged starvation. The pre-feeding ammonia excretion rate of sea bass subadults in fresh water was similar to those in sea water. The ammonia excretion rate of both groups ranged from 3.86 to 4.13 µg total NH3-N per g per hour. Half an hour after feeding, ammonia excretion rates rose to a significant level over pre-feeding values in both freshwater and seawater-adapted subadults. Both groups also showed the same peaks that were 7.5 times higher than pre-feeding levels 3 hours after feeding. By 10 hours after feeding, the ammonia excretion rate of both groups had returned to pre-feeding levels. -

Culture of grouper, sea bass and red snapper
(University of the Philippines Aquaculture Society, Inc., 2001)Marine fish production has increased dramatically in the past ten years and majority of the cultured species were produced in Asia in 1992. Increase in production was accompanied with concerns on increasing outbreak of disease, degradation of environment as a consequence of culture practices, and the alleged shortage of seed supply and feeds. This paper reviews the state of the art of the culture of grouper, sea bass and red snapper.
