The proximate compositions of sea bass are shown in Table1. The results obtained from this study indicated that the moisture contents in the sea bass fillets (g/100g fish muscle) 77.30 ±.53%, protein, 18.85±.34%, Total lipid, 2.50 ±.29 % and ash 1.51±.61%. Similar to the data obtained by Alasalvar et al., (2002) and O zogul et al., (2005). Approximate chemical composition values for sea bass from Greece were reported by Alasalvar et al., (2002): 72.2% moisture, 20.7% protein, 5.2% total Lipid and 1.5% ash. Grigorakis et al., (2005) reported that, sea bass in Greece also74.4 – 75.2–% moisture, 18.6– 20.3% protein, 3.9 – 4.5% fat and 1.3–1.6%, ash for samples, respectively. Alasalvar et al., (2002) reported that protein content in fish muscle differed depending on the season. g/100 g fish muscle Chemical constituents

Results showed that the basic amino acids for sea bass fillets were glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lysine. The amount of methionine, tyrosine and histidine were lower than the other amino acids. Similar to the data obtained by Ozden and Erkan (2008). Fish are quite rich in lysine (Ozden and Erkan, 2008) and other reported that the main amino acids in sea bass were aspartic acid, glutamic acid and lysine also, The changes in amino acid contents in fish muscle were affected by spawning period and feeding physiology of fish, and some part of protein was used by fish for spawning, resulting in an increase the level of protein in fish eggs (Ozyurt and Polat, 2006, Ozden and Erkan,

    Juvenile summer flounders eat small shrimp and other small crustaceans. Adult summer flounders eat small winter flounder, menhaden, sand lace, red hake, silversides, bluefish, weakfish and mummichogs. They also eat invertebrates such as squid, opossum shrimp, mollusks, blue cram and sand shrimp. Adults attack very often and are very hard to steer clear from. Generally, adult summer flounders chase schools of fish until they catch a couple.…

    Stereolepis gigas reproduce asexually. Although the reproduction process for the Giant sea bass has not really been observed in the field, one study showed that when born, there is 2-20 fish. When impregnated, it only takes 3 months for the female to produce up to 60,000,000 eggs. The spawning period is between the months of July and September. After the eggs are laid, they swell up and absorb water, become buoyant, and float up to the surface.…

    Brine Shrimp Hypothesis

    Discussion: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the effects that salinity content had on the possible hatching successes of brine shrimp nauplii. It was also used in order to find the optimal salinity content and if that content was of high concentration, or that of a lower concentration. It was predicted that the Artemia spp would be much more positively affected, with higher percentages of live nauplii hatchings, in the water containing the lower amount of salinity content. The possible reason that Artemia spp hatch better in the water containing the lower amount of salinity being the fact that brine shrimp often hatch between March and May when the fresh water inflow is at its highest.…

    Garum is a fermented fish sauce most commonly associated with the ancient Mediterranean. It was used in the same way that people living in America today use ketchup, which is to say, they put it on all types of foods and meals. Like ketchup, Garum was not reserved for special meals or a luxury good, but consumed by all social classes. It is most notably associated with ancient Rome but the sauce played a huge role in the economics of the Mediterranean and was a big business for many classes of people during that time. The records of garum include writings as well as material remains such as factories, most famously one preserved in Pompeii, as well as amphoras that have been found to contain traces of garum.…

    If I were to ask you an estimate of how much seafood you have consumed this year, what would your answer be? In the U.S. alone we consume about 5 billion pounds of seafood in just one year! Over the past ten years, one fish has grown to become one of the most consumed seafood in America, and that fish is Tilapia. Commonly referred to as the “aquatic chicken”, Tilapia is attractive to fish producers and consumers, because it is easy to breed and lacks the strong “fishy” taste many people dislike.…
