Increasing milkfish (Chanos chanos) yields in brackishwater ponds through increased stocking rates and supplementary feeding
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Brackishwater milkfish culture in the Philippines is normally practiced at fish stocking rates of 2,000-3,000 ha<sup>-1</sup> with fertilizers as the sole nutrient input. Supplementary feeding is not common. We stocked two ...
Economic feasibility of polyculture of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in brackishwater ponds
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1991)
The polyculture of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) with milkfish (Chanos chanos) has been practiced in the Philippines, bit little is known about the possible polyculture of the shrimp with the tilapias in spite of increasing ...
Test of size-specific mass selection for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., cage farming in the Philippines
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
One generation of mass selection based on the collimation procedure (early culling of large fry) was applied on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., in net cages set in Laguna de Bay, Philippines. The objective was to ...
Mangroves and brackishwater pond culture in the Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1995)
Around 50% of mangrove loss in the Philippines can be traced to brackishwater pond construction. The decrease in mangroves from 450 000 ha in 1920 to 132 500 ha in 1990 has been accompanied by expansion of culture ponds ...
Broodstock management and egg production of milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal
(Blackwell Publishing, 1993)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, industry in the Philippines suffers from a limited supply of wild fry. The demand for milkfish fry has spurred research in artificial propagation to supplement the natural seed supply. ...
Growth, maturity and induced spawning of mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, broodstock reared in concrete tanks
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1999)
Mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, fry (n=30) were collected in 1993 and reared in concrete tanks. They were fed trash fish every other day initially at 10% to 5%, until they reached three years. They reached ...
Induction of sex change in female Epinephelus coioides by social control
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1997)
Mature female groupers (Epinephelus coioides) of different sizes were stocked in three floating net cages (2 fishes each) and in tanks (2-4 fishes) to induce sex change in the bigger female grouper after isolation from the ...
Fish farming in marine pens and cages in the Philippines: appropriate technology?
(Society of Aquaculture Engineers of the Philippines, Inc., 1998)
Contributed as Discussant in Technical Session 3 on Environmental Impacts of Marine Fishcage Farming, 12th Annual Meeting of the Society of Aquaculture Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (SAEP), held at the BFAR-National ...
Lunar synchronization of spawning in sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch): Effect of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) treatment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1992)
Based on egg collection records, spontaneous spawning activity of sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), reared in floating net cages followed a semilunar cycle. The peak of multiple spawnings coincided with declining spring ...
The sulfide tolerance of milkfish and tilapia in relation to fish kills in farms and natural waters in the Philippines
(Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1998)
Fish kills of milkfish Chanos chanos and tilapia Oreochromis spp. now occur frequently in brackish, marine, and freshwater farms (ponds, pens, and cages) in the Philippines. Aquafarms with high organic load, limited water ...
