Changes in the mouth morpho-histology of hybrid Malaysian mahseer (Barbonymus gonionotus♀× Tor tambroides♂) during the larval development

Tor tambroides is a highly sought after food, sport and ornamental fish in Southeast Asia. However its natural population is drastically declining while its aquaculture is still considered small relying mostly of the wild fry as its hatchery bred fry supply is low due to its partial spawning behavio...
