Tidal current orientation of Plectropomus leopardus (Serranidae)

Coral Reefs, 2002
The coral trout Plectropomus leopardus (Serranidae)forms the major component of the commercial andrecreational line fishery on the Great Barrier Reef(GBR) in Australia (Kailola et al. 1993). Lately, con-cernshavebeenexpressedregardingrapidincreases infishing effort leading to localized depletion of sometarget species (Mapstone et al.

Distribution of an asymmetrical copepod, Hatschekia plectropomi, on the gills of Plectropomus leopardus

Journal of Fish Biology, 2006
Hatschekia plectropomi, an ectoparasitic copepod found on the gills, infected Plectropomus leopardus from Heron Island Reef with 100% prevalence (n = 32) and a mean ± s.e. infection intensity of 131·9 ± 22·1. The distribution of 4222 adult female parasites across 32 individual host fish was investigated at several organizational levels ranging from ...

Synchronously sexual maturity in hermaphrodite fish as revealed by transcriptome analysis in Plectropomus leopardus

Gene
Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) is a type of hermaphrodite fish, but the mechanisms of gonadal development and gametogenesis remain unclear. In the present study, we performed histological observation and transcriptomic analysis during the process of sexual differentiation in P. leopardus.

Habitat preference in newly settled coral trout ( Plectropomus leopardus, Serranidae)

Coral Reefs, 1997
The densities of newly settled coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus, Pisces, Serranidae) were monitored in a variety of habitats on Green Reef in the Cairns section of the Great Barrier Reef to assess whether spatial patterns of recruitment are influenced by physical features of the substratum, and whether this species uses different habitats during its

Effects of thyroxine and thiourea on the metamorphosis of coral trout grouper Plectropomus leopardus

Fisheries Science, 2002
: The contribution of the thyroid hormone to the metamorphosis of the coral trout Plectropomus leopardus was examined. Juveniles, aged 35 days, were exposed to thyroxine (T4, 0.1 p.p.m) and thiourea (TU; inhibitor of thyroid hormone synthesis, 30 p.p.m) for 13 days. All the fish in the T4-treated group had completed metamorphosis (second metamorphosis,

Effect of DNA extraction on ageing success in coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) otoliths

Journal of Fish Biology, 2007
To maximize the information commonly collected from otoliths, the effect of DNA extraction on the estimation of age with otoliths was evaluated by comparing sagittal otolith samples from common coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus) for clarity and ageing discrepancies in DNA‐extracted and untreated control otoliths.

Unveiling the Characteristics of Microbiota in Different Mucosal Layers of Leopard Coral Grouper (Plectropomus leopardus)

Marine Biotechnology
Mucosal microbiomes play an important role in digestion, nutrition, and resistance to pathogens and toxins in fish; thus, characterizing the mucosal microbiomes of economically important fish species is paramount. In this study, mucosal microbiomes of healthy leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus), which is of economic importance worldwide ...

Neurotransmitter norepinephrine regulates chromatosomes aggregation and the formation of blotches in coral trout Plectropomus leopardus

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry
Color changes and pattern formations can represent strategies of the utmost importance for the survival of individuals or of species. Previous studies have associated capture with the formation of blotches (areas with light color) of coral trout, but the regulatory mechanisms link the two are lacking.
