(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)Milkfish fry were artificially bred and reared in the laboratory and the pigmentation pattern of the different developmental stages of the larvae are described in detail, with illustrations. -
Ferrocement buoys for mussel culture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)A method is described for culturing mussels (Mytilus smaragdinus) using ferro-cement buoys, which may be used in the construction of a raft house or a flotation system for nets and cages. -
Preliminary report on the first production of the crab stages of alimasag, Portunus pelagicus (Linnaeus)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)An experiment was undertaken studying the early life history of Portunus pelagicus in order to obtain information of relevance to rearing techniques for crabs. -
Survival rate of Penaeus monodon Fabricius larvae fed Chaetoceros sp. and bread yeast
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)An evaluation was made of the effects of Chaetoceros species, bread yeast and their combination on the survival of Penaeus monodon larvae. In general it was found that feeding with a combination of the 2 resulted in higher ... -
