Seed production and the prawn industry in the Philippines
Primavera, Jurgenne
In any aquaculture system, the major components are seed and feed. The same is true for Penaeus monodon known locally as sugpo, lukon, pansat or by its trade/export name "black tiger". This paper is an attempt to give a state-of-the-art of prawn hatchery technology and wild fry collection in the country, focus on technical and non-technical problems, and offer solutions and policy recommendations.

Processing/marketing
The paper presented a comprehensive coverage of the processing and marketing of prawns for export as practised by AA Eximco, a firm based in Roxas City.
Philippine export of Penaeus monodon in 1983 was estimated at 4,450 MT of which 2,000 MT was caught in the fishing waters and about 2,450 MT produced from aquaculture. These are mostly exported to Japan and the United States in processed and quick-frozen form.

Pond culture
The paper discussed the extensive and semi-intensive methods of prawn culture. It reviewed the history of pond cultivation of Penaeus monodon during the last three decades and the major contributions to its culture, cultivation and production in the Philippines. It also touched on the market demand from Japan which at present is the main importer of Philippine prawns. The major discussion however dealt on the extensive and semi-intensive culture methods, the former being widely practised by prawn farmers and the latter being the most viable and more easily adaptable method for culture in ponds. Although the old practice of direct stocking of fry in grow-out ponds is convenient, it gives unreliable fry survival rates. Thus, the nursery system has been devised to improve fry survival. The different nursery systems were discussed in detail as intermediate holding systems of wild or hatchery-bred fry . The factors that affect prawn production in grow-out ponds were discussed for both extensive and semi-intensive culture methods.
