Resumen
Descripción
Seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), is an important aquaculture species in many Southeast Asian countries. The fish has been successfully spawned by hormonal manipulation since 1973. To minimize the use of expensive hormones as well as stress on the fish through handling and hormonal injections, environmental manipulation, mainly through control of salinity and temperature to induce spawning in captivity was used. With this method, some 50–100 million fry and fingerlings were produced per year Co ntinuously at the Satul Fisheries Station in Satul, Thailand. This report describes the methodology of environmental manipulation, pre-spawning behavior, larval rearing techniques and monthly production the seabass.
