SEAFDEC/AQD Institutional Repository Home

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department Institutional Repository (SAIR) is the official digital repository of scholarly and research information of the department. This is to enable the effective dissemination of AQD researchers' in-house and external publications for free and online. The repository uses DSpace, an open source software, developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Libraries. It is an Open Archives Initiative (OAI)-compliant.

Initially, the repository shall contain preprints, full-texts or abstracts of journal articles, books and conference proceedings written by SEAFDEC/AQD scientists and researchers. The aim is to promote these publications especially those published in international peer-reviewed journals and generate higher citation through increased visibility.

It will also provide free access to all in-house publications of SEAFDEC/AQD. Full-text digitized copies of fishfarmer-friendly materials like books, handbooks, policy guidebooks, conference proceedings, extension manuals, institutional reports, annual reports (AQD Highlights), and newsletters (SEAFDEC Asian Aquaculture, Aqua Farm News, AquaDept News and AQD Matters) can be retrieved and downloaded.

In the future, SAIR will expand its collection to include images, presentations, audios, and videos among others.

The objectives of the repository are to: (1) to provide reliable means for SEAFDEC/AQD researchers to store, preserve and share their research outputs and (2) to provide easy access and increase the visibility of SEAFDEC/AQD scientific publications

SAIR also aims to encourage SEAFDEC/AQD researchers for self-archiving and submitting pre-prints from which metadata will be screened and approved by the library staff.

Bioflocs-assisted mass culture of Brachionus plicatilis under prolonged zero-water exchange and its application to Pagrus major larviculture

Mandario, Mary Anne ; Aoyagi, Rinko; Wassel, Mai A.; Makabe-Kobayashi, Yoko; Han, Chengyan ; Hamasaki, Koji ; Sakakura, Yoshitaka (Elsevier, 2026-02)

The sustainable mass production of rotifers is crucial to sufficiently supply marine fish hatcheries. However, maintaining a stable rotifer culture is still a challenge mainly due to unionized ammonia (NH₃) ...
Single initial inoculation of bioflocs maintains water quality in the long-term culture collection of Brachionus plicatilis

Mandario, Mary Anne ; Kozue, Noa; Wassel, Mai A.; Makabe-Kobayashi, Yoko; Han, Chengyan ; Hamasaki, Koji ; Sakakura, Yoshitaka (Springer, 2025-11-13)

While rotifers are important first live feed in marine fish hatcheries, maintaining the rotifer culture collection by feeding live microalgae and water exchange is laborious and costly. It is therefore necessary to streamline ...
