The effect of lipid-enriched broodstock diets on spawning and on egg and larval quality of hatchery-bred rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus)

抄録
Three isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets formulated to contain 12 (diet A), 15 (B) and 18% (C) lipids were tested on hatchery-bred rabbitfish Siganus guttatus broodstock to determine their effect on spawning and quality of the eggs and larvae. The results show that fish on diet C has higher fecundity than those on diets B and A. Also, fish on diet C yielded eggs of better quality than either fish on diets B or A. This was indicated by spawns resulting in higher percentage of normal hatchlings, larger newly-hatched larvae and higher survival rates until the 14th day of rearing. Dietary lipid levels, however, have no remarkable effects on fertilization, yolk and oil globule volumes, hatching rate nor larval size at harvest.

CRM in the Philippines: Lessons learned
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)Philippine coastal communities can become capable fishery resource managers and that their management practices can become largely self-sustaining if the project approach focuses on assisting fishermen to learn how to help themselves. Community organization is an essential part of the process and should not be viewed as an end product in itself. There are also no quick fixes, and projects require a complex array of activities if large numbers of coastal residents are to be assisted. In some of these projects, the control of illegal fishing combined with limiting of commercial fishing to offshore areas and good coastal habitat management resulted in a doubling of daily fish catch and income for small-scale fishermen. However, even with the best of management, the total fishery harvest is limited and further increases in individual fishing income can only come from reducing total fishing effort. This will require a system of control on access to the resource to limit the number and kind of fishing gears and to divide the resource equitably. Assisting coastal communities to devise and implement realistic equitable access controls is the major challenge facing coastal resource co-management.
