The barramundi (Lates calcarifer), Asian sea bass, or giant sea perch (also known as dangri, apahap [2] or siakap) is a species of catadromous fish in the family Latidae of the order Carangiformes. The species is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific , spanning the waters of the Middle East , South Asia , Southeast Asia , East Asia , and ...
The humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis), also known as the panther grouper, (in Australia) barramundi cod, (in the Philippines, in Tagalog) lapu-lapung senorita, (in the Philippines, in Bisayan) miro-miro, (in Japan) sarasa-hata, (in India) kalava, and many other local names, [4] is a species of marine ray-finned fish.
In bird flight aerodynamics, the area of interest is the total wing area, that is, the area of both wings plus the area of the intervening portion of the body known as the "root box". [10] The root box is estimated from a measurement of the wing width at the base (the root chord ) and the difference between the wingspan and two times the extent ...
The lungfish can grow to a length of about 150 cm (4.9 ft), and a weight of 43 kg (95 lb). [12] It is commonly found to be about 100 cm (3.3 ft) and 20 kg (44 lb) on average. [9] Both sexes follow similar growth patterns, although the females grow to a slightly larger size. [15] They are covered in slime when taken from the water. [12]
The mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus), also known as mangrove jack, grey snapper, creek red bream, Stuart evader, dog bream, purple sea perch, red bream, red perch, red reef bream, river roman, or rock barramundi (though it is not closely related to bream, jack, or barramundi), is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae.
While similar to the barramundi, it differs in several features. It has a taller and deeper body (averaging a much greater size), longer third dorsal and second anal spines, fewer pectoral fin rays, more scales, and fewer gill rakers. [2] It reaches an officially recorded maximum length of 130 cm (51 in) and a maximum weight of 33 kg (73 lb). [3]
Allometry is often expressed in terms of a scaling exponent based on body mass, or body length (snout–vent length, total length, etc.). A perfectly allometrically scaling organism would see all volume-based properties change proportionally to the body mass, all surface area-based properties change with mass to the power of 2/3, and all length ...
