This 47-page guidebook presents the 22 concepts, principles or policy statements that prescribe the preferred ways of doing and acting to ensure the sustainable use of mangroves for fish farming. It is annotated with ...
Mangrove-friendly aquaculture studies at the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department studies on mangrove-friendly aquaculture (MFA) can be categorized under two models: a) mangrove filters where mangrove forests are used to absorb effluents from high-density culture ponds, ...
Seed production and the prawn industry in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1984)
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 ...
Notes on the induced maturation and spawning in four-month-old Penaeus monodon Fabricius by eyestalk ablation
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The ablation technique consisted of making an incision across the eyeball to allow free flow of fluids while holding the prawn under water, squeezing the eyeball contents outwards, and pinching hard the eyestalk tissue. ...
Survival rates of different postlarval stages of Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The objective of this study is to determine survival rates of different postlarval stages upon stocking in the Leganes ponds. Twelve 3m x 2m x 2m suspension nets made of nylon cloth (mesh size = 0.1 mm) were set up in a ...
Land-based mass production of prawn (Penaeus monodon Fabricius) spawners
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The first spawnings were obtained 12 days after ablation with 4 spawners yielding 784,000 eggs and a harvest of 250,000 P<sub>10</sub> fry. Survival of females after 1 month was approximately 30%. Mortalities were mostly ...
Courtship and mating behavior in Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
An illustrated description is given of the courtship and mating behaviour of P. monodon. Courtship and mating follow three distinct phases: (1) parallel swimming of male and female from the bottom to a height of 20-40 cm ...
Notes on ovarian rematuration of ablated sugpo (prawn) Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
To what extent spent P. monodon females can remature and spawn successive broods is an important question in terms of recycling spawners in a commercially viable operation. Corollary to this is the quantity and quality of ...
Viability of Penaeus monodon eggs after simulated transport conditions
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
P. monodon spawners, transported from maturation pens suffer from stress which in turn may lead to lowered spawning rate or fertility. Spawning the females in the maturation site and transporting the eggs to the hatchery ...

Farming of prawns and shrimps
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1983)
The manual provides information on the culture of shrimps and prawns. Considerations regarding farm sites, pond specifications, pond ecosystems and differences between prawn and milkfish culture are examined. Seed supply, ...
