The decline of native fishes and fisheries and the rise of aquaculture in lakes and rivers in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center; Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD), Department of Science and Technology; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 2001)
This paper reviews historical and recent data on biodiversity, fisheries, exotic fishes, and aquaculture in Philippine lakes and rivers. The country's lakes and rivers are poor in primary freshwater fishes because the ...
Immunity and biological methods of disease prevention and control
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
The chapter deals with the barriers that prevent microbial entry and the various internal defense mechanisms that are part of the host's arsenal in combating in combating invading microbes. It also discusses some of the ...
Nutritional diseases
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2001)
Diagnosis of nutritional diseases is difficult because many signs exhibited by fish are non-specific and most nutritional deficiencies are hard to define. A compilation of data on feed composition and feeding management, ...
