Acute toxicity of un ionized ammonia to milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerlings
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The acute toxicity of un-ionized ammonia to milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerlings was determined using a static bioassay system. Median lethal concentrations found show that milkfish fingerlings have a high tolerance to ... -
Gum arabic, carrageenan of various types and sago palm starch as binders in prawn diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)An experiment was undertaken in order to investigate the use of sago palm starch, gum arabic and carrageenans as binders in prawn diets. Water stability data are presented; EPT-2 carrageenan was found to be the best binder ... -
Effect of varying crude protein levels on spawning frequency and growth of Sarotherodon niloticus breeders
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Four-month-old S. niloticus breeders were fed with dry pellets containing 20-50% crude protein and the frequency of spawning involving removal of egg from the mouthbrooding females and growth were determined. When the diets ... -
Effects of exogenous hormone injections on milt consistency in newly caught, wild milkfish
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)A study was conducted to determine the effects of single injections of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and Durandron Forte 250 on sperm motility, vitality and density and also on the consistency of milt in newly caught, ... -
Effects of 2-phenoxy ethanol and MS-222 on milkfish fingerlings (Chanos chanos) as anaesthetic agents
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)An experiment was undertaken in order to determine an adequate anaesthetic and optimum concentrations for use in the handling of fingerling milkfish (Chanos chanos). The compounds 2-phenoxy ethanol and MS-222 were investigated. ... -
Survival and changes in the fine structure of selected tissues of Penaeus monodon Fabricius juveniles fed various carbohydrates
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Penaeus monodon juveniles were reared on semipurified diets containing various carbohydrates (maltose, sucrose, dextrin, molasses, cassava starch, corn starch or sago palm starch). Significant differences were observed ... -
Dietary crude protein requirement of Tilapia nilotica fry
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)To determine growth and survival of Tilapia nilotica fry fed formulated practical dry diets with varying crude protein levels, fish were subjected to 3 seperate feeding trials. Isocaloric practical diets containing 20, 25, ... -
Gill lesions associated with acute exposure to ammonia
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Histopathological effects of ammonia on the gills of milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerlings were examined qualitatively. -
Effects of temperature on behavior, growth, development and survival of young milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The effects of 3 temperature treatments on activity, feeding, growth, development and survival of young milkfish (Chanos chanos) were investigated under laboratory conditions. It is believed that the results may be applied ... -
The water stability of shrimp diets with various polysaccharides as a binding agent
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The water stability of shrimp (Penaeus monodon) diets with various polysaccharides as binding agents were tested without steaming. The diet with alginate showed the best water stability and did not completely disintegrate ... -
Culture of grey mullet, Mugil cephalus, Linnaeus in brackishwater ponds at two stocking densities
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The culture potential of hatchery-produced grey mullet (Mugil cephalus , Linnaeus) stocked with average weight of 3.7 g and at 2,500 (treatment I) and 3,000 (treatment II) fingerlings/ha in six 350m brackishwater ponds ... -
Effects of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding on the production of milkfish fingerlings
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding on survival and growth of milkfish (Chanos chanos) fry to fingerling stage and also to evaluate the profitability ... -
In vitro effects of fungicides on the fungus Haliphthoros philippinensis
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Pure cultures of Haliphthoros philippinensis, isolated from infected Penaeus monodon larvae, were exposed for 24 hours to varying concentrations of antifungal agents. The efficiency of each agent to inhibit sporulation and ... -
Fry to fingerling production of Tilapia nilotica in aquaria using phytoplankton as natural feed
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Overall results of the study indicate that the availability of high concentrations of phyloplankton in the rearing medium favoured growth of T. nilotica fry to fingerling. -
Culture of the mud crab, Scylla serrata (Forskal) at different stocking densities in brackishwater ponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)The mean weight percentage survival, relative growth increment, net production and feed conversion value of S. serrata stocked in monoculture at different stocking densities are presented. -
Survival, growth and production of Penaeus monodon and P. indicus at different density combinations with milkfish
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)Penaeus monodon and P. indicus juveniles were stocked and reared for about 3 months in earthen ponds at different density combinations with Chanos chanos. The presence of either Penaeus species at any density ratio did not ... -
Improvement of diet attractability for Penaeus monodon by supplementing various attractants
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1981)An experiment was undertaken to test the effect of supplemental krill meal, earthworm meal, glycine, sucrose or mussel water on diet attractibility of Penaeus monodon. Only glycine or mussel water significantly improved ... -
Polyculture of milkfish (Chanos chanos) and mud crab (Scylla serrata) at two stocking densities
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1980)Mud crabs (Scylla serrata) were cultured singly and in combination with milkfish (Chanos chanos) to compare growth, survival and production rates. Net production of crab was higher in polyculture than monoculture, but the ... -
