Larval development of grouper hybrids Epinephelus Coioides X E. Fuscoguttatus and E. Coioides X E. Lanceolatus

This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of grouper hybridization for increasing potential in aquaculture. 2 combinations were produced, which were orange-spotted grouper E. coioides x tiger grouper E. fuscoguttatus (OGTG) and orange-spotted grouper E. coioidesx giant grouper E. lance...
