Oxygen, sulphide and nutrient uptake of the mangrove mud clam Anodontia edentula (Family: Lucinidae)
(Elsevier, 2001)
Oxygen, sulphide and nutrient (ammonia, nitrite and phosphate) uptake of Anodontia edentula was measured. Oxygen and sulphide were measured from sealed containers provided with 1 l fresh mangrove mud (sulphide source) and ...
Choosing tropical portunid species for culture, domestication and stock enhancement in the Indo-Pacific
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)
Large and long-term investments in research, development and technology verification are required for the successful culture, domestication and coastal stock enhancement of any species, including crabs. As more species ...
Influence of various dietary synthetic carotenoids on bio-defence mechanisms in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001)
This study examined the influence of different carotenoids on growth and some immune indices in rainbow trout. Six semipurified casein-based diets were formulated to contain one of three different carotenoids: astaxanthin, ...
The seasonality and economic feasibility of cultivating Kappaphycus alvarezii in Panagatan Cays, Caluya, Antique, Philippines
(Elsevier, 2001)
Vegetative thalli of brown and green <i>Kappaphycus alvarezii</i> were cultivated in Panagatan Cays, Caluya, Antique, Philippines, over 60- and 90-day periods using hanging-long line (HL), fixed off-bottom (FB), and hanging ...
Gonadal maturation, fecundity, spawning and timing of reproduction in the mud snail, Cerithidea cingulata, a pest in milkfish ponds in the Philippines
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)
Gonadal maturation, spawning, fecundity and timing of reproduction of the snail <i>Cerithidea cingulata</i> in a brackish water pond in Molo, Iloilo, Philippines, are described. Snails 4–41 mm in shell length were sampled ...
Effect of dietary phosphorus and vitamin D3 on phosphorus levels in effluent from the experimental culture of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2001)
Excessive phosphorus (P) levels in aquaculture effluents violate federally mandated limits and pose a serious threat to the freshwater environment. In rainbow trout culture, effluent P probably originates as fecal and ...
Pathogenicity of the epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS)-associated rhabdovirus to snakehead Ophicephalus striatus
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 2001)
The rhabdoviruses isolated from EUS-affected snakeheads in the Philippines was tested for pathogenicity to healthy, naive snakehead Ophicephalus striatus fry, fingerlings and juveniles. Virus exposure of naive snakehead ...
Live food production in Japan: recent progress and future aspects
(Elsevier, 2001)
Techniques to culture rotifers at high-density (2000 to 20 000 ind./ml) have been developed by utilizing condensed phytoplankton products. Many public hatcheries in Japan have introduced automated systems for culturing and ...
Possible application of mibolerone for induced sex inversion of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 2001)
Thirty immature juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (19-168 g bodyweight, BW) were randomly stocked in four units 6 t tanks to determine if mibolerone can be used to induce sex inversion in groupers. After acclimatization ...
Mud crab fattening in ponds
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)
Two independent experiments on mud crab (Scylla serrata, Portunidae) fattening were conducted simultaneously in 150 m<sup>2</sup> ponds for 30 days: Expt. I - monosex male (286 ± 1.2 g) vs. monosex female (267 ± 0.9 g) ...
