Thyroid hormones promote early metamorphosis in grouper (Epinephelus coioides) larvae
(Academic Press, 1998)
The response of grouper larvae to the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>) and triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>), was examined. Two-, 3-, and 4-week-old grouper larvae were reared in seawater containing either ...
Changes induced in the gills of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål) fingerlings after acute exposure to nifurpirinol (Furanace; P-7138)
(Springer Verlag, 1995)
The need for a chemotherapeutant used specifically for fish disease became increasingly apparent with intensive fish culture practices, and with the possibility of bacterial resistance against drugs used for human and ...
Seasonal availability of calanoid copepods (genus Acartia) in eastern Thailand using a light trap, as food organisms for marine fish larval rearing
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1996)
Zooplankton collected by the torch lighting method were investigated in a tropical coastal seawater pond in eastern Thailand. Copepods of the genus Acartia, such as A. sinjiensis, A. erythaea and A. pacifica, were predominant ...
Genotype environment interaction in the response of three strains of Nile tilapia to poor nutrition
(Elsevier, 1992)
Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of poor nutrition on the growth of three Oreochromis niloticus strains fed protein-deficient diets. Four-week-old fry from the three "test" strains were paired with a ...
Yield of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in brackishwater ponds given different fertilizer combinations
(Elsevier, 1991)
Yields of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in brackishwater earthen ponds were determined using different fertilizer combinations in two sets of experiments. Results indicated that the use of fertilizers was vitally needed to ...
Growth and fatty acid composition of Penaeus monodon juveniles fed various lipids
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
A 4-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the growth and fatty acid composition of Penaeus monodon juveniles fed dietary lipids from different sources. The animal lipid (cod liver oil, pork lard and beef tallow) ...
Density dependent growth of the tropical abalone Haliotis asinina in cage culture
(Elsevier, 1999)
The effects of different stocking densities on the growth, feed conversion ratio and survival of two size groups of the tropical abalone Haliotis asinina were determined. Three culture trials were conducted in net cages ...
Development of mouth width and larval growth in three marine fish species
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 1990)
Hatchery-bred larvae of three marine fish species, milkfish (Chanos chanos), seabass (Lates calcarifer) and rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) were reared on rotifers and Artemia nauplii. Development of the mouth width and ...
Assimilation of aquatic macrophytes in Penaeus monodon
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)
The macrophytes Najas graminea and Ruppia maritima are common aquatic plants found in brackishwater ponds in the Philippines. The assimilation efficiencies of these plants by male and female Penaeus monodon (30-40 g wet ...
Selective diversification of aquaculture stocks: A proposal for economically sustainable genetic conservation
(NRC Research Press, 1991)
The genetic diversity of aquaculture stocks can be maintained, and their genetic impact on wild stocks minimized, by breeding programmes that deliberately generate genetic diversity. Current animal breeding practices are ...
