Molecular genetic approaches to resolve taxonomical ambiguity of mud crab species (Genus Scylla) in Indian waters
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2015)
Mud crab or mangrove crab (Genus Scylla de Haan) is one of the most extensively cultured and economically important brachyuran crabs from the family Portunidae in Indo-Pacific countries, including India. Mud crabs exhibit ...
Development of practical diet for the grow-out culture of Scylla serrata in ponds
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2015)
A series of feeding experiments were conducted in the laboratory and in ponds of SEAFDEC/AQD using hatchery-produced Scylla serrata juveniles to develop an effective pelleted grow-out diet. The practical feed ingredients ...
Scylla species found in Cochin backwaters, Kerala, South India
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2015)
The present study described the Scylla species collected from Cochin backwaters for two years from June 2010 to May 2012. Identification and description of Scylla species were carried out based on the morphological characters ...
Mud crab nursery rearing practices
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2015)
The need for seeds for expansion of the mud crab industry led to the development of the hatchery technology. The nursery technology was developed as this served as a link between the hatchery, which produces megalopae or ...
Utilization of sensors and SMS technology to remotely maintain the level of dissolved oxygen, salinity and temperature of fishponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Due to the occurrence of fish kills in various fish producing areas in our country, millions of pesos and opportunities for the Filipino people had been put into waste. Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) collaborated ...
First record of Laem-Singh virus in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Laem-Singh Virus (LSNV), a single-stranded RNA virus that causes growth retardation in Penaeus monodon, is also known as Monodon Slow-Growth Syndrome (MSGS) virus. Black Tiger shrimps afflicted with this virus exhibit ...
Growth performance of brackishwater enhanced selected tilapia (BEST) reared in brackishwater ponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Tilapia culture contributes greatly to world aquaculture production. Several tilapia strains have been developed locally and one of these has been developed for brackishwater aquaculture. BEST or the Brackishwater Enhanced ...
Reproductive biology of christian crabs (Charybdis feriatus, Linnaeus, 1758) in San Miguel Bay, Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
The reproductive biology of Charybdis feriatus was investigated from April 2012 to March 2013 to determine gonad maturity, gonado-somatic index (GSI), fecundity, breeding cycle and size at first maturity. Every month, ...
Shrimp metabolism: The roles of lactate dehydrogenase (c31), glycogen phosphorylase (c34) and protein kinase (PK) as revealed by RNA interference
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
Energy metabolism is well-studied in vertebrate systems, providing insights on the genes and mechanisms involved in different pathways necessary for the survival of an organism. Yet, such studies are still lacking in ...
Marker-aided genetic stock management: prospects in Philippine aquatic biodiversity conservation and aquaculture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2015)
With the advent of DNA marker-based technologies and applications, genetic stock assessment incorporating molecular marker information has become an important tool in managing resources both for aquaculture and stock ...
