Characterization and functional analysis of hybrid pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀) complement C3 against Cryptocaryon irritans infection

Pearl gentian grouper is a new aquacultural hybrid resulted from breeding of female tiger grouper (Epinephelus fuscogutattus) and male giant grouper (E. lanceolatus). Our preliminary study found that pearl gentian grouper exhibits less susceptible to the primary infection of Cryptocaryon irritans, w...
