Settlement of oyster Magallana bilineata (Röding, 1798) spat in the natural environment: Seasonality and substrate texture preference
(Malacological Society of Australasia; Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity; Taylor and Francis, 2022-05-12)
This study determined the seasonality of Magallana bilineata spat settlement in a natural oyster bed and established surface texture preference of competent larvae by comparing the numbers of spat settling on the smooth ...
Seasonal growth, organ indices and food consumption of the Japanese scallop Patinopecten yessoensis (Jay, 1857) in relation to food availability in Tokoro seabed, Okhotsk Sea, North Japan
(The Plankton Society of Japan (The Japanese Association of Benthology), 2022-05-30)
The coastal waters off Tokoro, Okhotsk Sea have been characterized by a substantial decrease in primary production from spring to summer season which will have repercussions on the maintenance of the Japanese scallop ...
Bacterial diseases of tilapia, their zoonotic potential and risk of antimicrobial resistance
(Wiley, 2023-03-05)
Tilapia culture is an important source of income and nutrition to many rural families. Since 2000, the production of tilapia increased and reached domestic and global markets. Major farmed species is Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...
Seaweed Gracilariopsis heteroclada, formulated flaked diet, and a combination of both as feed for the abalone Haliotis asinina: Effect on growth and survival
(Springer, 2023-01-27)
This paper compares the effect of feeding the abalone <i>Haliotis asinina</i> with seaweed (SW), formulated (FD), and mixed (SW+FD) diets. The feeding experiment, in six replicates, was conducted in a tank facility and ...
Evaluation of maturation promoting factor in polychaete (Marphysa sp.) on Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus female broodstock
(Wiley, 2022-07-15)
Polychaete is considered the best maturation diet for penaeids; however, fluctuating supply and quality warrant detailed studies to understand the specific maturation-promoting factors present in polychaete. Indian white ...
Cage culture of tropical eels, Anguilla bicolor pacifica and A. marmorata juveniles: Comparison of growth, feed utilization, biochemical composition and blood chemistry
(Wiley, 2022-11-02)
This study examined the performance and suitability of two tropical anguillid eels, <i>Anguilla bicolor pacifica</i> and <i>A. marmorata</i>, under cage culture conditions. Juvenile eels (1.73 ± 0.14 g body weight) of each ...
An innovative biofloc technology for the nursery production of Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei in tanks
(International Network for Natural Sciences, 2022-10-09)
Nursery production of shrimp is usually done in small ponds; however, the use of small and circular tanks with plastic liners is gaining popularity. From an industry standpoint, there is still a need to assess how nursery systems can be of benefit to the shrimp production cycle. Hence, the use of small circular tanks coupled with the incorporation of biofloc technology was assessed in terms of its viability during the nursery production of the Pacific whiteleg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei. A 450m<sup>2</sup> plastic lined circular tank was installed and prepared for the stocking of P. vannamei postlarvae (PLs) at a density of 500 PLs per m<sup>2</sup>. Biofloc was produced and maintained throughout the nursery phase using brown sugar as carbon source at a carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio of 10. Water quality was monitored daily, while presumptive Vibrios were enumerated weekly. Sampling for growth was done at the 14<sup>th</sup> day post-stocking and weekly until harvest on the 30th day. The different water quality parameters were within optimum levels required for shrimp growth. Presumptive Vibrios were dominated by the yellow colonies. At the end of the nursery phase, there was 100% survival and the shrimp attained an average body weight of 1.26 g and a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 0.43. Our results indicate that the use of small circular tanks with biofloc during the nursery production phase of whiteleg shrimp is feasible and can be incorporated in the grow-out culture of this shrimp species....
Molluscan aquaculture in the Philippines: A review
(Springer, 2023-04-25)
Molluscs are among the most valuable resources of the Philippines, an archipelagic country of 7,107 islands bounded by 36,000 km of coastline and 26.6 million ha of coastal waters. In 2020, production from mussels and ...
