Milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerling production in freshwater ponds with the use of natural and artificial feeds
Milkfish fry were reared to fingerling size in freshwater ponds. For the first experiment, fish were fed the blue-green algae Oscillatoria inoculated and grown in the ponds, Oscillatoria supplemented with a fishmeal-based ...
Weaning of hatchery-bred milkfish larvae from live food to artificial diets
(Elsevier, 1984)
Two-week old milkfish (Chanos chanos ) larvae (7.5 mm standard length, 2.3 mg wet body weight) previously fed only rotifers were weaned abruptly to six artificial diets (commercial feed TP, artificial plankton AS and BP, ...
Development of larval diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2000)
This study aimed to develop nutritionally balanced and costeffective processed diets for milkfish larvae (Chanos chanos). Two larval diets (feed A and feed B) were formulated and prepared to contain 45% protein and 10% ...
Systematics, distribution, genetics and life history of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Springer Verlag, 1994)
Chanos chanos belongs to a monotypic gonorynchiform family and is most closely related to the freshwater Ostariophysi. The earliest gonorynchiforms occurred in the Cretaceous of Brazil and west Africa. Chanos occurred in ...
Pigmentation pattern in the early developmental stages of milkfish (Chanos chanos): A key for larval identification.
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1981)
Pigmentation patterns are presented for 5 - 20 day old milkfish (Chanos chanos) and are discussed in terms of their use in larval identification.
Occurrence and distribution of milkfish larvae, Chanos chanos off the western coast of Panay Island, Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1987)
The occurence and distribution of milkfish larvae (∼3–17 mm TL) off western Panay Island, Philippines are reported based on 594 plankton net tows made in April and May 1980. Forty-two tows yielded 44 larvae, together with ...
Effects of DHA-enriched live food on growth, survival and incidence of opercular deformities in milkfish (Chanos chanos)
(Elsevier, 2001)
The use of commercial enrichers to improve the nutritional quality of live food in larviculture of milkfish was investigated. Fish were either fed rotifers cultured on Chlorella sp. and newly hatched Artemia nauplii (Control, ...
Requirement for tryptophan by milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Groups of milkfish juveniles (mean initial weight 7.7 g) were fed semipurified diets containing 0.9, 1.4, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 and 6.1 g tryptophan/kg dry diet for 12 weeks. The mean crude protein content of the diets (containing ...
On the visual feeding of milkfish larvae and juveniles in captivity
(The Japanese Society of Scientific Fisheries, 1980)
Feeding of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae and juveniles on Artemia nauplii in captivity was observed. The retinae of the larvae were observed histologically. Milkfish larvae could not take food in the dark. The juveniles ...
Changes in the length and weight of milkfish, Chanos chanos, larvae preserved in formalin
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1980)
Shore-caught milkfish fry (late postlarvae) and artificially-bred, laboratory-reared larvae (0-to 20-day old) were preserved in 5% and 10% freshwater-and/or seawater-formalin solutions after measuring their initial weights ...
