The development of lateral line system of Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) during metamorphosis period

This study was conducted to clarify the development of the lateral line system in Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) and to understand the changes of swimming behaviour of Asian seabass with larval growth. The fertilised eggs were collected and were incubated in incubation tank at the hatchery of Bor...
