Alternative reproductive styles in seabrearns (Pisces: Sparidae)

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1990
A review of sexuality in the Sparidae shows that protandrous, protogynous, simultaneous and rudimentary hermaphroditism have all been reported in the family. Careful histological study shows that even in those species reputed to have separate sexes, intersexuality is found in the juvenile condition.

Development of the skull in Dentex dentex (Osteichthyes: Sparidae)

Marine Biology, 2000
The development of the skull skeleton in common dentex, Dentex dentex (Linnaeus, 1758), was studied under extensive rearing conditions. Skull ontogeny started after hatching and went through three stages: (a) the yolk-sac (during the phase of no growth) and the early larval stage (up to 6.9 mm in vivo total length, TL) in which the majority of the ...

Age and growth of black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii(Sparidae) in Hong Kong and adjacent waters of the northern South China Sea.

Journal of Fish Biology, 2018
Age and growth of the black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii (family Sparidae) from the northern South China Sea (NSCS) were studied by reading growth rings in sectioned sagittal otoliths.

Notes on the diet ofPterogymnus laniarius(Cuvier) (Pisces: Sparidae)

South African Journal of Zoology, 1985
Stomach contents of fish taken between Mossel Bay and Algoa Bay were analysed. Prey associated with both hard and soft substrates were present in the diet although the latter were more Important. The mouth structure Is shown to be well adapted to feeding over soft substrates.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Rhabdosargus sarba (Perciformes: Sparidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Rhabdosargus sarba was presented in our study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,644 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and composition of R. sarba mitochondrial genome was similar to that of most other vertebrates.

Localised spawning omission in snapper, Chrysophrys auratus (Sparidae)

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2011
Failure to spawn in a significant proportion of adult fish may greatly decrease the reproductive output of a population and lead to overestimates of recruitment to the fish stock. Reproductive output of the commercially important sparid, Chrysophrys auratus, around the Kaipara Harbour, New Zealand, is particularly important as this harbour is the ...
