The visual feeding threshold and action spectrum of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) larvae
(California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations, 1983)
The visual feeding threshold and action spectrum of 10-15-mm northern anchovy larvae were determined, using as criterion the incidence of two or more rotifers in the guts of 50% of larvae tested under different spectral ...
Fish farming in marine pens and cages in the Philippines: appropriate technology?
(Society of Aquaculture Engineers of the Philippines, Inc., 1998)
Contributed as Discussant in Technical Session 3 on Environmental Impacts of Marine Fishcage Farming, 12th Annual Meeting of the Society of Aquaculture Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (SAEP), held at the BFAR-National ...
Sulphide tolerance and adaptation in the California killifish, Fundulus parvipinnis, a salt marsh resident
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1993)
Hydrogen sulphide is a toxicant naturally produced in hypoxic marine sediments, hydrocarbon and brine seeps and hydrothermal vents. The California killifish, a salt marsh resident, is remarkably tolerant of sulphide. The ...
Results of drift card experiments and considerations on the movement of milkfish eggs and larvae in the northern Sulu Sea
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1979)
For a period of one year beginning December 1977, drift card experiments were conducted off the western and southwestern coasts of Panay Island to determine the surface currents in the area.
Of a total 2,384 drift cards ...
From triphenyltins to integrated management of the 'pest' snail Cerithidea cingulata in mangrove-derived milkfish ponds in the Philippines
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000)
The potamidid snail Cerithidea cingulata is considered a pest in brackishwater milkfish ponds in the Philippines and has been controlled by the triphenyltin (TPT) compounds Aquatin and Brestan. But TPT is also toxic to ...
The sulfide tolerance of milkfish and tilapia in relation to fish kills in farms and natural waters in the Philippines
(Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1998)
Fish kills of milkfish Chanos chanos and tilapia Oreochromis spp. now occur frequently in brackish, marine, and freshwater farms (ponds, pens, and cages) in the Philippines. Aquafarms with high organic load, limited water ...
Touch-sensitive bristles on the carapace of the mud crab Scylla paramamosain may be receptors for courtship signals
(Springer, 2020-11-17)
Bristle patches on the carapace behind the eyes were found for the first time in both males and females of the four species of mud crab Scylla spp. Electrocardiography revealed that the bristle patches of Scylla paramamosain ...
Biodiversity in mangrove-derived aquaculture ponds in Dumangas, Iloilo, Philippines
(Science and Technology Information Institute, Department of Science and Technology, 2021-02)
Large tracts of mangroves have been converted into aquaculture ponds and the consequent loss of biodiversity has been much decried. This paper shows that high aquatic biodiversity is retained in mangrove-derived aquaculture ...
Behavioural evidence for colour vision determined by conditioning in the purple mud crab Scylla tranquebarica
(Springer Verlag, 2020-01-04)
Crabs and shrimps (order Decapoda) use colours in various tasks such as foraging and mate choice. Colour vision requires at least two types of photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities. Previous physiological ...
Food colour preference of hatchery-reared juveniles of African catfish Clarias gariepinus
(Elsevier, 2017)
Food colour preference is a fundamental aspect of food recognition and has practical application in the formulation of artificial diets and the design of visual baits. Food colour affects growth performance and feed ...
