Growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles fed a diet lacking vitamin supplements in a modified extensive culture system
(Elsevier, 1992)
<i>Penaeus monodon</i> juveniles with mean initial weight from 0.11 to 0.17 g were fed diets with and without vitamin supplement. The diets contained 34% protein and 8% fat. The animals were stocked at 5/m<sup>2</sup> in ...
Growth, survival and feed conversion of juvenile shrimp (Penaeus monodon) fed a betaine/amino acid additive
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)
Diets low in animal but high in plant protein were enhanced with a chemoattractant FinnStim (FS), a betaine/amino additive. These were fed to juvenile shrimp, Penaeus monodon, in three tank experiments. All diets were ...
An evaluation of indigenous protein sources as potential component in the diet formulation for tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon, using essential amino acid index (EAAI)
(Elsevier, 1989)
The essential amino acid index (EAAI) could be used in screening potential protein sources. However, when formulating diets, EAAI should be supported with feeding trials and digestibility tests to determine the extent of ...
Nursery rearing of Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) using suspended (hapa) net enclosures installed in a pond
(Elsevier, 1993)
The use of suspended (hapa) nets as nursery enclosures for shrimp fry was tested. In the first trial, four stocking densities (72, 144, 288, and 432 fry m<sup>−3</sup>) of P. monodon fry (PL<sub>20</sub>, body weight = 8 ...
Notes on the completion of the life cycle of Penaeus japonicus in captivity in the Philippines
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 1991)
Penaeus japonicus nauplii from wild spawners were reared up to the early postlarval stage (PL20) in 12-t concrete tanks. A survival rate of 13-15% was obtained. Hatchery-reared postlarvae were restocked in concrete tanks ...
Genetic diversity of wild and cultured black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines using microsatellites
(Elsevier, 2001)
Six microsatellites were used to study (1) the genetic diversity of wild <i>Penaeus monodon</i> shrimp from four geographic regions (Palawan, Quezon, Capiz and Negros Occidental-W) in the Philippines, and (2) its association ...
Quantitative dietary requirements of postlarval tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, for histidine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and tryptophan
(Elsevier, 1999)
The quantitative requirements of postlarvae Penaeus monodon for essential amino acids were determined through a series of feeding experiments. Test diets contained casein–gelatin as natural proteins supplemented with ...
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....
Inclusion of live mud polychaete (Marphysa iloiloensis) in the feeding regime improved the hatchery performance of domesticated Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus)
(Elsevier, 2023-03-07)
A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of inclusion frequency of hatchery-bred mud polychaete, Marphysa iloiloensis, as part of a combination diet on the reproductive performance and larval quality of ...
Biofloc-based nursery production system: Heeding the call towards a sustainable shrimp culture industry in the Philippines
(International Network for Natural Sciences, 2022)
The increasing global population resulted in intense pressure on the food production sectors to meet the rise in food demand. The aquaculture industry, which is one of the major food production sectors, provides opportunities ...
