Culture and utilization of freshwater algae as protein source
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1990)
A discussion is presented on the commercial production of algae in mass culture conditions as a source of single-cell protein. Particular reference is made to the food situation in the Philippines, and research conducted ...
The essential nutrients: Proteins and amino acids
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2002)
This section aims to teach the reader the ten essential amino acids required by fish and their chemical structures, distinguish between essential and non-essential amino acids; the fate of absorbed amino acids in fish; ...
Effect of varying crude protein levels on spawning frequency and growth of Sarotherodon niloticus breeders
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)
Four-month-old S. niloticus breeders were fed with dry pellets containing 20-50% crude protein and the frequency of spawning involving removal of egg from the mouthbrooding females and growth were determined. When the diets ...
Potential of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) meal as an alternative protein source in diets for giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii, de Man 1879)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Growth trials were conducted to evaluate cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) meal as a potential protein source in diets for giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man 1879), reared in tank and lake-based cages. ...
The effect of various protein levels on the growth and survival rates of Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Postlarvae of tiger prawns, P. monodon , were fed with various protein levels of 0; 30; 40 and 50%, fish meal and rice bran were combined and pelletized for 16 wks. Prawns used had an average mean length of 1.2 mm and an ...
A preliminary study on the protein requirement of Chanos chanos (Forskal) fry in a controlled environment
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Growth rate of fish appeared to be related to the levels of the protein in the diet up to 40%. Fish fed diets containing 50 and 60% grew slower than those fed 40%, and the optimum level appears to be 40% when fed to fry ...
A preliminary study on the use of the local variety of ipil-ipil Leucaena leucocephala as a protein source for prawn feed
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
A study was carried out to determine the effect of 10 or 20% leaves or seeds in the diet of Penaeus monodon , and the extent to which local ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala ) could replace head shrimp meal. A brief description ...
Nutrient requirements of tropical aquaculture species
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2009)
Dietary crude protein requirement of Tilapia nilotica fry
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)
To determine growth and survival of Tilapia nilotica fry fed formulated practical dry diets with varying crude protein levels, fish were subjected to 3 seperate feeding trials. Isocaloric practical diets containing 20, 25, ...
Formulation of aquafeeds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2002)
The development of a feed that is both effective and economical for an aquaculture species in all its life stages is a continuous effort. Aquafeed development started when natural food sources in culture systems became ...
