Abstract: The tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes is one of the most valuable aquaculture species in Japan. In this study, we investigated the genetic variation in resistance to heterobothriosis caused by a host-specific monogenean parasite, Heterobothrium okamotoi,… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes (order Tetraodontiformes, family Tetraodontidae) is a highly exploited species and stocks continue to decline, although hatchery‐reared juveniles have been released since 1965 for stock enhancement. To determine why the stock… read more here.
