Mud crab pen culture: replacement of fish feed requirement and impacts on mangrove community structure
(Blackwell Publishing, 2010)
Brackishwater pond culture has been a major factor in mangrove loss in Southeast Asia, hence, the need to develop environment-friendly technologies such as mud crab Scylla (Portunidae) culture in mangrove pens exists. This ...
Growth and survival of hatchery-bred giant clams (Tridacna gigas) in an ocean nursery in Sagay Marine Reserve, Philippines
(European Aquaculture Society, 2010)
To restore the diminishing population of the giant clam Tridacna gigas in Sagay Marine Reserve (SMR), Negros Occidental, central Philippines, two size classes [8- and 10-cm shell length (SL)] of hatchery-bred T. gigas were ...
The loss of species: Mangrove extinction risk and geographic areas of global concern
(PLoS ONE, 2010)
Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year in ecosystem services and support ...
Practical techniques for mapping small patches of mangroves
(Springer, 2010)
Practical mapping methods employing GPS field surveys and manual image analyses with affordable software were used to assess two mangrove sites in Aklan Province, NE Panay Island, central Philippines. The Jawili mangroves, ...
Antimicrobial activity screening of Lyngbya majuscula crude methanolic extract against selected aquaculture pathogens
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010)
Lyngbya majuscula crude methanolic extract (LMCME) was screened for antimicrobial properties in vitro. The Gram-negative Vibrio harveyi and Aeromonas hydrophila and the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus ...
Culturing seahorse (Hippocampus barbouri) in illuminated cages with supplementary Acetes feeding
(The Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology (SIAMB), 2010)
Juvenile Hippocampus barbouri were grown in illuminated cages with or without supplemental daytime feeding of thawed Acetes (a planktonic marine crustacean), or in non-illuminated cages with Acetes feeding, as a supplement ...
Identification of Pseudomonas sp. strain S3 based on small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2010)
Pseudomonas sp. strain S3 was isolated from Paddy (rice) field agricultural area. This organism, which can utilize a halogenated compound of D,L-2-Chloropropionic acid as sole carbon and energy source, catalyses the ...
Settlement, growth and survival of donkey's ear abalone Haliotis asinina (Linne) in response to diatom diets and attachment substrate
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 2010)
The effect of feeding four diatom diets (Amphora sp., Navicula ramosissima, Amphora sp. + N. ramosissima, and mixed diatoms) and two attachment substrates (PP+CCA: polyvinyl plates with crustose coralline algae; PP-CCA: ...
Effects of dietary l-tryptophan on the agonistic behavior, growth and survival of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2010)
The reduction of the survival of mud crab during culture has been largely attributed to aggressive encounters and cannibalism. In some crustaceans, suppressed aggression is linked to increased concentration of circulating ...
The morphology and life cycle of the gill monogenean (Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis) on orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) cultured in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2010)
The morphology of Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis is described. It is the most numerous parasite recovered from the gills of cultured orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides in the Philippines and is smaller compared ...
