Background And Aim: and are important but neglected helminth parasites of marine fish. The humpback grouper, the most relevant definitive host, harbors several and spp. simultaneously on body surfaces and gills. These species can be distinguished morphologically This study aimed to identify and spp. infestations in monogenean humpback grouper by multiplex polymerase chain reaction method, which seems to be widely distributed in the study area. Data can be used as a basis for mapping disease patterns in Strait waters.
Materials And Methods: Eighty humpback groupers () were collected from eight different areas in the Sunda Strait and examined using scrapings from body surfaces and gill lamellae followed by multiplex PCR for identification.
Results: Parasites on body surfaces were recovered from 49 fish (61.2%) and were found on gill lamellae in 72 fish (90%) by microscopic examination. Endoparasites were absent. Ectoparasites identified included, , eggs, , , , , , , , , , and .
Conclusion: The distribution of trematode disease in humpback grouper in Sunda Strait waters was revealed. All parasites were from genera, and . Risks associated with these parasites should not be overlooked. Prevention and control programs need to be extended to other marine fish. Humpback grouper should be dewormed more frequently.

Article Synopsis
- TRAF proteins are crucial for cell signaling and immune regulation in teleost fish, but research on their functions in C. altivelis is limited.
- This study identified and named eight TRAF genes in C. altivelis, confirming their evolutionary conservation and specific protein domains.
- Expression patterns of these genes varied across different tissues and developmental stages, and significant changes were observed after V. harveyi infection, highlighting the role of CaTRAF genes in immune and inflammatory responses.

The development and characterization of two novel humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis) fin cell lines are described in this study. The CA1F3Ex and CA1F4Tr cell lines were developed by explant and trypsinization methods, respectively, in Leibovitz's L15 (L-15) medium supplemented with 20% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and subcultured over 150 times. Cell lines exhibited high stability, as evidenced by the high revival rate (85-95%) and good attachment while seeding after one year of cryostorage.

The humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis), a medium-sized coral reef teleost, is a naturally rare species distributed in the tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has high market value, but artificial reproduction and breeding remain limited and need to be improved. Here, we assembled the genome with 1.

In this study, we identified the important contribution of frontal bone remodeling in shaping the 'sunken head and humpback' appearance in . Our investigation identified a developmental milestone at a total length of 5-6 cm, making the onset of its morphologic specialization in this species. A comparative analysis with closely related species reveals heightened activity in the frontal osteoblasts of the humpback grouper, potentially providing a physiological basis for its remodeling.

Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Somatotropic (HPS) axis is the essential endocrine system playing important roles in animal growth. Here, the HPS axis were characterized in golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) and humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis), two marine cultured tropical teleosts representing fast and slow growth patterns, respectively. Through genomic and transcriptomic survey, 32 and 35 HPS genes were characterized in T.
