Biodiversity in mangrove-derived aquaculture ponds in Dumangas, Iloilo, Philippines
(Science and Technology Information Institute, Department of Science and Technology, 2021-02)
Large tracts of mangroves have been converted into aquaculture ponds and the consequent loss of biodiversity has been much decried. This paper shows that high aquatic biodiversity is retained in mangrove-derived aquaculture ...
The visual feeding threshold and action spectrum of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) larvae
(California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations, 1983)
The visual feeding threshold and action spectrum of 10-15-mm northern anchovy larvae were determined, using as criterion the incidence of two or more rotifers in the guts of 50% of larvae tested under different spectral ...
On publishing scientific papers in peer reviewed ISI-covered journals
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1994)
This article exhorts university graduate students and researchers everywhere to publish their scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, preferably those covered by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), rather ...
Fishing methods and gears in Panay Island, Philippines
(Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, 1980)
The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used ...
Low ph water impairs the tactile sense of the postlarvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2018)
The effect of low pH on the tactile sense of Macrobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae was determined in the laboratory by means of two behavioural assays: shelter (netting) occupancy and jumping response to touch stimuli (taps) ...
Results of drift card experiments and considerations on the movement of milkfish eggs and larvae in the northern Sulu Sea
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1979)
For a period of one year beginning December 1977, drift card experiments were conducted off the western and southwestern coasts of Panay Island to determine the surface currents in the area.
Of a total 2,384 drift cards ...
Fish habitats in a small, human-impacted Sibunag mangrove creek (Guimaras, Philippines): a basis for mangrove resource enhancement
(Elsevier, 2012)
The fish assemblage of a small, open access mangrove creek highly influenced by aquaculture farms, was studied for the first time in the Philippines as a baseline of such system as well as examining the degree of ecological ...
The sea turtles captured by coastal fisheries in the northeastern Sulu Sea, Philippines: Documentation, care, and release
(Herpetological Conservation and Biology, 2011)
This paper presents the first substantive data on sea turtles in the northeastern Sulu Sea. Working with fishers and government, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC FishWorld) documented 109 juvenile ...
Sulphide tolerance and adaptation in the California killifish, Fundulus parvipinnis, a salt marsh resident
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1993)
Hydrogen sulphide is a toxicant naturally produced in hypoxic marine sediments, hydrocarbon and brine seeps and hydrothermal vents. The California killifish, a salt marsh resident, is remarkably tolerant of sulphide. The ...
Colour discrimination in dim light by the larvae of the African catfish Clarias gariepinus
(Springer, 2017)
Many demersal fish species undergo vertical shifts in habitats during ontogeny especially after larval metamorphosis. The visual spectral sensitivity shifts with the habitat, indicating a change in colour vision. Colour ...
