Abstract
Experiments were conducted in twelve 144 sq. m. brackishwater ponds at Leganes Research Station, SEAFDEC, to determine the effect of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding on milkfish fingerling production. Two stocking densities (50 and 75 fry/sq. m.) with and without supplemental feeding with rice bran and a formulated diet were tested in a completely randomized design with three replicates.
Results showed that increased stocking density from 50 fry/ sq. m. to 75 fry/sq. m. fed with rice bran gave a mean survival rate of 71.50%. Growth, measured in terms of weight and length, was not significantly different between treatments. Profitability of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding are discussed.

Changes in length and weight of milkfish fry preserved in formalin
Kumagai, Shigeru; Castillo, Nelson (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)Fry shrank immediately after they were preserved in formalin, but from the second week onwards shrinkage was almost nil. Fry in freshwater formalin solutions shrunk less than those in seawater formalin solutions. It is ... -

The economics of the milkfish fry and fingerling industry of the Philippines
Smith, Ian R. (International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management; Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The fry and fingerling industry of the milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) in the Philippines is alleged to suffer from certain imperfections. Primary among these are an annual shortage of catch necessary to meet the stocking ...Series: ICLARM technical reports; 1 | SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department contribution; No. 93
