The length-weight relationship, food habits and condition factor of wild juvenile milkfish in Sri Lanka
(Elsevier, 1986)
Wild juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos) were obtained from Negombo lagoon in September 1984. Thirty-one specimens (92–186 mm FL) had a fork length-body weight relationship of log W = −5.6083 + 3.2598 log L. These fish were ...
Studies on the habitat and food of juvenile milkfish in the wild
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1981)
Juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos ) were collected from several different wild environments in Panay Island and neighboring islands. The fish were measured and the food ingested examined. Conditions of milkfish habitats ...
Acute nitrite toxicity and methemoglobinemia in juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 1987)
Nitrite was about 55 times more toxic to milkfish juveniles in fresh water than in 16% brackish water: the 48-h median lethal concentrations were 12 mg NO<sub>2-</sub>N/l (95% confidence limit=7.4–19.6) and 675 mg ...
Growth of juvenile milkfish Chanos chanos in a natural habitat
(Inter Research, 1985)
A population of juvenile milkfish, C. chanos (Forsskaal) was studied in a small mangrove lagoon in Naburut Island, central Philippines. Several size groups of milkfish occurred in the lagoon as a result of its periodic ...
Investigations on the feeding behavior of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål) in brackishwater lagoons on South Tarawa, Kiribati
(Verlag Natur und Wissenschaft, 2002)
This study evaluated the feeding behavior of the milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål) in extensively managed brackishwater lagoons on South Tarawa, Kiribati (Central Pacific) in August 1998. Feed intake, dietary overlap, fish ...
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 ...
Arginine and threonine requirements of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles
(Elsevier, 1991)
Growth studies were conducted with milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles to determine the quantitative requirements for arginine and threonine. The amino-acid test diets (40% crude protein) contained casein and gelatin ...
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) production and water quality in brackishwater ponds at different feeding levels and frequencies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)
This study evaluated the effects of different feeding levels and frequencies on milkfish (Chanos chanos) growth, feed efficiency, and water quality in brackish water ponds. Milkfish juveniles (average weight, 1 g) were ...
The essential fatty acid requirement of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
The essential fatty acid (EFA) requirement of milkfish was examined by a 12-week feeding trial using defined, purified diets at water temperature of 28–29°C and salinity of 32‰. The test diets contained varying levels of ...
Dietary requirement of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles for total aromatic amino acids
(Elsevier, 1992)
The phenylalanine requirement of milkfish at two dietary tyrosine levels was determined using a 2× 6 factorial feeding experiment. The amino acid test diets (45% crude protein) contained vitamin-free casein and gelatin ...
