Natural spawning of greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) kept in captivity in the Canary Islands

Reproduction of hatchery-produced meagre Argyrosomus regius in captivity III. Comparison between GnRHa implants and injections on spawning kinetics and egg/larval performance parameters

“…Similar to the European sea bass (though within a much more extended reproductive period), the longfin yellowtail and greater amberjack exhibit a group-synchronous ovarian development, and spawn multiple times during the annual reproductive season, but without a regular/daily rhythm. In the greater amberjack, for example, the natural inter-spawn period seems to be between 5 and 11 days (Jerez et al, 2006;Sarih et al, 2015).…”

Lipid characteristics of two subtropical Seriola fishes, Seriola dumerili and Seriola rivoliana, with differences between cultured and wild varieties

“…Despite considerable attention paid to the biological and ecological aspects of S. dumerili (ecology: Jerez et al, 2006;Kožul, Skaramuca, Kraljević , Dulčić , & Glamuzuna, 2001, phylogeny: Renshaw, Patton, Rexroad, & Gold, 2006, aquaculture: Jover et al, 1999Mazzola, Favaloro, & Sarà, 2000;Sawada et al, 2006) and S. rivoliana (ecology: Castriota, Greco, Marino, & Andaloro, 2002;Wheeler, 1986), only a few reports on the determination of the chemical components have been published (crude protein and lipid: Takakuwa, Fukada, Hosokawa, & Masumoto, 2006; amino acid content: Thakur, Morioka, Itoh, Wada, & Itoh, 2009). In addition, only a few reports have presented an analysis of the fatty acid composition of Seriola fish species (for S. dumerili: Cai, Rooker, Gill, & Turner, 2007;Haouas, Zayene, Guerbej, Hammami, & Achour, 2010;Sato, Hirayama, & Hirazawa, 2008).…”

Ontogeny of the body skeleton inSeriola dumerili(Risso, 1810)

“…Its growth rate is higher than the already highly successfully cultured Dicentrarchus labrax and Sparus aurata (Divanach 2004). Also, it is characterized by its great adaptive ability in captivity and its comparatively high survival rate (Garcia & Diaz 1995;Jerez et al 2006). The excellent quality flesh of greater amberjack is in great demand worldwide (Nakada 2002), attaining relatively high commercial prices (Porrello et al 1993;Garcia & Diaz 1995;Nakada 2002).…”
