    • Small-scale IMTA of milkfish in pens: The Pandaraonan, Guimaras, Philippines experience 

      Castel, Raisa Joy G.; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Kodama, Masashi; Diamante, Rose Ann (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center; Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2022-07)
      This study examines IMTA as an option for small-scale fish farmers to grow multiple species in the same area in the coastal waters of Barangay Pandaraonan in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras, Philippines. The study aimed to explore the feasibility of an economically profitable IMTA system where milkfish are grown with sandfish and seaweeds.

    • Evaluation of livelihood assets in community-based on-farm demonstration of IMTA in milkfish mariculture in Guimaras, Philippines 

      Salayo, Nerissa D.; Kodama, Masashi; Castel, Raisa Joy G.; Diamante, Rose Ann; Montinola, Quenie S. (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center; Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2022-07)
      This study showed the need to develop the livelihood assets of rural communities to enable them to engage in aquaculture-based income generating activities. The SLA evaluation showed that the benefits in terms of its contribution to livelihood asset build-up is generally positive. While human, social and environmental capacities were improved, the financial and physical assets were dissipated and insufficient for many stakeholders with keen interest to participate in the communal project. Therefore, the recommendation is to organize more and bigger collaborative projects, such as this IMTA of milkfish, with emphasis on sustainable livelihood asset development to create significant economic impact to target beneficiaries.

    • Environmental impact and growth performance of IMTA species in marine pen culture system 

      Diamante, Rose Ann; Kodama, Masashi; Salayo, Nerissa D.; Castel, Raisa Joy G. (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center; Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2022-07)
      In this study, locally available marine species were tested, milkfish (Chanos chanos) as the fed species, seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) as inorganic-extractive species for the water column, and sandfish (Holothuria scabra) as organic-extractive species on the sediments. This study aims to verify and improve IMTA systems suitable for farm conditions in coastal areas in the Philippines, with emphasis on mitigating the environmental impacts of mariculture of milkfish.
