The supply of quality juveniles via land-based larviculture represents a major bottleneck to the growing finfish aquaculture industry. As microbiome plays key role in animal health, this study aimed assess microbial community associated with early larval development commercially raised Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi). We used qPCR and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing monitor changes S. lalandi from larvae juveniles. observed an increase bacterial load during development, which...

The responsible approach to marine stock enhancement is a set of principles aimed at maximising the success and benefits artificially re‐stocking depleted fisheries. such an are evident in 400% increase survival stocked striped mullet Hawaii through refinement release techniques, however financially or temporally constrained stocking programs Australia have not adhered all principles. A pragmatic address these proposed, using international examples Australian finfish pilot stockings...
Juvenile mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus (54·6 ± 4·6 mm total length, mean s . e .) were immersed in a range of oxytetracycline (OTC) solutions ranging between 0–600 mg l −1 salinities 5 (diluted sea water) and 35 (undiluted water), alizarin complexone (ALC) 0–60 undiluted water, for 6, 12 24 h. Optimal marking conditions 600 OTC h salinity 5, 30 ALC respectively. Mark quality (MQ) was assessed using score 0–3 both otoliths anal fin spines, with >2 found to be acceptable adequate mark...
This paper reports on experiments conducted to examine the combined effects of salinity and potassium concentration survival growth juvenile mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus, Temminck Schlegel) in inland saline groundwater. Three separate were 20 (±1)°C water.

Abstract.— Tko experiments were conducted to determine the effects of salinity on growth and survival mulloway Argyrosomus japonicus larvae juveniles. First, 6‐d‐old stocked into different salinities (5, 12.5, 20, 27.5 35 ppt) for 14 d. Larvae grew at all salinities, but based results survival, optimum range 20‐d‐old is 5–12.5 ppt. During this experiment held in experimental infested by a dinoflagellate ectoparasite, Amyloodinium sp. Degree infestation was affected salinity. There very low...
Abstract Captive breeding programs and aquaculture production have commenced worldwide for the globally distributed yellowtail kingfish ( Seriola lalandi ), captive bred fingerlings are being shipped from Southern Hemisphere to be farmed in Northern Hemisphere. It was recently proposed that Pacific S . comprise at least three distinct species diverged more than 2 million years ago. Here, we tested hypothesis of different “species” using novel genomic data (namely single nucleotide...
The fish gut microbiome is impacted by a number of biological and environmental factors including feed formulations. Unlike mammals, vertical transmission largely absent in thus little known about how the initially colonized during hatchery rearing nor stability throughout growout stages.

Poor swimbladder inflation leads to low fish survival due resulting spinal deformities and the inability feed develop normally. Failure of may be attributed inappropriate range abiotic conditions. This study investigated effects temperature, light source intensity, oxygen conditions on initial inflation, growth yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi larvae.

Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus) is an emerging aquaculture species in Australia, but there a need to improve the production technology and lower costs, including those associated with larval rearing live feeds. Three experiments were conducted determine appropriate weaning strategies from feeds, rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) Artemia, cheaper formulated pellet diets. Experiment 1 examined effects of feeding Artemia at different levels [0%, 50% or 100% ration fed 18 days after hatching...
Surveys of larval fishes require accurate identifications larvae, which are essential to understand early life history fish, fish ecology and fisheries. However, the identification requires microscopic examination that is substantially more difficult than juvenile adult fishes, as many stages remain undescribed. Furthermore, traditional, formalin fixation were previously thought prevent genetic sequencing compared ethanol preserved larvae. In this study, we used an integrative taxonomic...
