Cloning of mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) growth hormone cDNA and mRNA expression during early development
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013)
Growth hormone regulates growth and development in vertebrates. As a first step to understand the role of growth hormone in the regulation of growth and development of the mangrove red snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus, ...
Effect of colored light regimes on the stress response and RNA/DNA ratio of juvenile red sea bream, Pagrus major
(Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 2017)
We hypothesized that fish with red-sensitive retina would be stressed by red light and thus inhibited in somatic growth. Red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles (total length =3 cm) with red-sensitive retina were chosen to ...
Use of agar-bound microparticulate diet as alternative food for tropical abalone, Haliotis asinina (Linnaeus 1758) post-larvae in large-scale cultures
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
The efficacy of using agar-bound microparticulate diet (A-MPD) as alternative food for abalone Haliotis asinina Linne post-larvae in large-scale culture was investigated. Larvae sourced from the hatchery-bred (HB) and ...
Colour discrimination in dim light by the larvae of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus
(Springer, 2017)
Many demersal fish species undergo vertical shifts in habitats during ontogeny especially after larval metamorphosis. The visual spectral sensitivity shifts with the habitat, indicating a change in colour vision. Colour ...
Dietary substitution of protein concentrate of Ulva lactuca for soybean meal in the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon fry
(Bioflux Society, 2014)
A feeding trial was conducted to test the protein concentrate of the green seaweed Ulva lactuca as a substitute for soybean meal in the diet of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon fry. Experimental diets containing ...
Dietary soy peptide enhances thermotolerance and survival of juvenile japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus
(World Aquaculture Society, 2015)
Soy peptide (SP), a soy protein enzymatic hydrolysate, contains bioactive substances that could be utilized as an immune-stimulating feed ingredient. The experiment evaluated the efficacy of dietary SP on promoting growth, ...
Colour preference and colour vision of the larvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper reports on the innate colour preference and colour vision in the hatchery-reared larvae (10–16 days old, stages IV–VIII) of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man) based on their response ...
Seasonal gonad cycle of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus (Teleostei: Anabantidae) in a tropical wetland
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Seasonal reproduction of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus in the Candaba wetland, Philippines, is described. Monthly specimens were collected, gonads and viscera excised, and the gonads histologically examined. Low ...
Viability of a bottom-set tray ocean nursery system for Holothuria scabra Jaeger 1833
(Wiley, 2017)
Scaling up the hatchery production of juvenile sandfish Holothuria scabra is constrained by limited hatchery space and the associated high operational costs. To shorten the hatchery rearing phase, ocean nursery systems ...
Female-specific SNP markers provide insights into a WZ/ZZ sex determination system for mud crabs Scylla paramamosain, S. tranquebarica and S. serrata with a rapid method for genetic sex identification
(BMC, 2018-12)
Mud crabs, Scylla spp., are commercially important large-size marine crustaceans in the Indo-West Pacific region. As females have the higher growth rate and economic value, the production of all female stocks is extremely ...
