Contribution of natural food and supplemental feed to the gut content of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in a semi-intensive pond system in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)
Juvenile Penaeus monodon were stocked in grow-out ponds and fed a compound diet at high rates for 19 weeks under semi-intensive conditions. At three stages of the rearing period (weeks 6, 11 and 16), the gut content of the ...
Evaluation of leguminous seed meals and leaf meals as plant protein sources in diets for juvenile Penaeus indicus
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1998)
The potential of locally available legumes (white cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, and green mung-bean, Vigna radiata) and leaf meals (papaya, Carica papaya, and cassava, Manihut esculenta) in combination with defatted soybean ...
Studies on the digestive lipases of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Elsevier, 1990)
Milkfish grown on two natural foods were examined to determine the distribution pattern of the digestive lipases along the digestive tract and to identify the optimum condition for lipase activity. One food consisted of a ...
Requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids
(American Society for Nutrition, 1993)
The dietary requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids were determined in a series of experiments. The fish (< or = 8.0 g) were reared in fiber glass tanks provided with flow-through ...
Changes in shrimp feed quality and effects on growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Elsevier, 1997)
Five practical shrimp diets were formulated to contain 1, 10, 20, 50, and 100 g tetraethoxypropane (TEP) kg<sup>−1</sup> diet. A diet with no added TEP served as the control. Diets were fed to Penaeus monodon (average ...
Growth, survival and feed conversion of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed diets containing Bayo-n-ox, a commercial growth promoter
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
A feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a commercial growth promoter, Bayo-n-ox, on Nile tilapia fingerlings (mean initial weight 3.6 g). After 6 weeks, the weight gain of fish given 25 mg Bayo-n-ox/kg ...
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 ...
Growth of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer, fed varying carbohydrate and lipid levels
(Elsevier, 1997)
Growth performance of juvenile seabass (initial mean body weight, 0.90 ± 0.04 g) fed varying carbohydrate and lipid levels were determined using practical diets in a 2 × 3 factorial experiment. Two carbohydrate levels (15 ...
The effect of lipid-enriched broodstock diets on spawning and on egg and larval quality of hatchery-bred rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus)
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1994)
Three isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets formulated to contain 12 (diet A), 15 (B) and 18% (C) lipids were tested on hatchery-bred rabbitfish Siganus guttatus broodstock to determine their effect on spawning and quality ...
Methionine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Elsevier, 1996)
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary requirement of postlarval Penaeus monodon for the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Shrimp postlarvae (mean weight 21 ± 0.3 mg) were reared in 40-1 ...
