Larval intervals of the sea bass, Lates calcarifer, based on the development of swimming and feeding functions.

抄録
Developmental sequences of characters concerned in swimming and feeding function were examined on laboratory-reared seabass larvae. Based on a scheme of development events constructed in this study, the early life hisory of the species can be divided into the following five phases. A (to about 2.5 mm TL): larvae have no noticeable skeletal structure concerned in swimming and feeding function. B (to about 4.5 mm TL): principal elements of swimming-related characters appear and start to develop; jaw and pharyngeal teeth strt to develop. C (to about 6.0 mm TL): position of the greatest body depth begins to shift bacward; dorsal and anal fin-rays attain to adult commplements; serration-like upper jaw teeth decrease in number and finally disappear. D (to 7.0 - 7.5 mm TL): notochord end flection is completed; conical spper jaw teeth start to develop, replacing the serration-like teeth. E (beyond 7.0 - 7.5 mmTL): larvae can be regarded as reaching juvenile stage in this phase from the view-point of functional morphology, although the first larvae with completely develop fin-ray counts was 10.25 mm TL in this study.

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.
