Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) rare coloration patterns: a multiomics approach to understand the "panda" phenotype.

The barramundi (Lates calcarifer), a significant aquaculture species, typically displays silver to bronze coloration. However, attention is now drawn to rare variants like the "panda" phenotype, characterized by blotch-like patterns of black (PB) and golden (PG) patches. This phenotype presents an opportunity to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying color variations in teleosts.

Characterising the Physiological Responses of Chinook Salmon () Subjected to Heat and Oxygen Stress.

In New Zealand, during the hottest periods of the year, some salmon farms in the Marlborough Sounds reach water temperatures above the optimal range for Chinook salmon. High levels of mortality are recorded during these periods, emphasising the importance of understanding thermal stress in this species. In this study, the responses of Chinook salmon () to chronic, long-term changes in temperature and dissolved oxygen were investigated.
