In vitro digestibility of locally available feedstuffs for white shrimp Penaeus indicus
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
An in vitro method of determining protein digestibility was modified for application in white shrimps. The protein digestibility of 21 locally available feedstuffs were determined. Vitamin-free casein was used as reference ...
Effect of some physico-chemical factors on the survival and growth of Penaeus monodon postlarvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Growth and survival rates of P. monodon postlarvae were examined at different temperatures, salinities, and nitrite and ammonia concentrations, using one feed level. Condition of postlarvae greatly affected the experimental ...
A preliminary study on the effect of hypoxia on carotenoid metabolism in black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The pigmentation of black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon is due to astaxanthin, astaxanthin monoester, and astaxanthin diester. These carotenoids are biosynthesized from beta-carotene or zeaxanthin. Biosynthesis is postulated ...
Endosulfan: a hidden menace
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2003)
A clean and healthy environment is paramount to human existence. While pesticide use has successfully sustained agricultural and food production in our lifetime as well as safeguarded human health by controlling insect ...
Pilot scale production of pellets suitable for mud crab Scylla serrata
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Studies were conducted towards the pilot scale production of stable and nutritionally adequate pellets suitable for mud crab Scylla serrata to help in efforts to increase mud crab production in the Philippines. Preliminary ...
Melamine
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Melamine is an adulterant that can be added to feed ingredients for aquafeeds to artificially inflate the apparent protein content. Together with cyanuric acid, it has been found that crystals formed from melamine and ...
Survey of antibiotic and pesticide residues in aquaculture products in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
A survey in the Philippines in the early and mid-1990s (Lacierda et al.,2008) revealed that more than 100 chemicals and biological products are used in aquaculture production starting from pond preparation until harvest ...
Important findings and recommendations on chemical use in aquaculture in Southeast Asia
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Under the program of Fisheries Consultative Group of the ASEAN (Association of South-East Asian Nations) - SEAFDEC (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center) Strategic Partnership Mechanism, a research project entitled ...
Withdrawal periods of antibiotics, oxytetracycline, and oxolinic acid, in fish species cultured in the tropics
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Food safety is one of the major concerns of products derived from aquaculture. Farm inputs, e.g. drugs and agrochemicals, introduced whether intentionally or unintentionally during culture, may contaminate and remain in ...
Organotin compounds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Organotin compounds, such as tributyltin and triphenyltin, are tributyl or triphenyl derivatives of tetravalent tin. They are colorless solids with low vapor pressures, lipophilic, and are slightly water-soluble. The ...
