Growth performance and genetic diversity in four strains of Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790) cultivated in Thailand

Effect of stocking densities on the growth performance, cannibalism and survival of Asian seabass Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790) fry in different nursery rearing system

“…Still, the level of temperature was higher in the RAS treatments than the temperature in the SWS because of the energy generated by the pressure pumps to run up the water from the degasser tank to the overhead tank to circulate the water. The lower level of temperature watched in the SWS (28.13 ± 0.00℃) was adequate for the survival and growth of Asian seabass (Joerakate et al, 2018; Kungvankij et al, 1985). The DO level was sufficient in all the treatments at the experimental period imposed by continuous aeration.…”

“…The market price of Asian seabass is high and trendy for its pleasantly edible flesh. The culture technique of Asian seabass developed before the 1970s in Thailand (Joerakate et al, 2018). The expansion has gradually been increased both in brackish and freshwater culture system using hatchery-produced seeds (Venkatachalam et al, 2018).…”

Dietary administration of astaxanthin improves feed utilization, growth performance and survival of Asian seabass,Lates calcarifer(Bloch, 1790)

“…Asian seabass or also known as barramundi or giant sea perch ( Lates calcarifer Bloch) is an economically important catadromous fish species in Asia Pacific region and Australia. Thailand has been one of the major producers of fingerlings and marketable fish for both domestic and regional markets, including China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (Joerakate et al, ; Senanan et al, ). The production of Asian seabass has emerged as one of the fastest‐growing sectors in the global aquaculture industry with recent market expansion growth in many European and North American countries (Glencross, Blyth, Irvin, Bourne, & Wade, ; Harrison, Calogeras, & Phillips, ).…”

Replacement of Fish Meal with a Combination of Fermented Fish and Soybean Meal in the Diet of Juvenile Asian Seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch, 1790)

“…Asian seabass, known as barramundi in Australia or kapong in Thailand, is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region from the Arabian Gulf to China, Taiwan, Papua New Guinea, and Northern Australia. Aquaculture of this species commenced in the 1970s in Thailand (Joerakate et al, 2018), and rapidly spread throughout Southeast Asia, (Boonyaratpalin and Williams, 2002). The current worldwide annual production of Asian seabass is around 24,363 t per year, providing approximately 100 billion USD in income (Fisheries Development Policy and Planning Division, 2023).…”
