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 ...

Systematics, distribution, genetics and life history of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Springer Verlag, 1994)
Chanos chanos belongs to a monotypic gonorynchiform family and is most closely related to the freshwater Ostariophysi. The earliest gonorynchiforms occurred in the Cretaceous of Brazil and west Africa. Chanos occurred in ...

Gonadal maturation, fecundity, spawning and timing of reproduction in the mud snail, Cerithidea cingulata, a pest in milkfish ponds in the Philippines
(Taylor & Francis, 2001)
Gonadal maturation, spawning, fecundity and timing of reproduction of the snail <i>Cerithidea cingulata</i> in a brackish water pond in Molo, Iloilo, Philippines, are described. Snails 4–41 mm in shell length were sampled ...

Low pH affects survival, growth, size distribution, and carapace quality of the postlarvae and early juveniles of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Acidification of rain water caused by air pollutants is now recognized as a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems. We examined the effects of low pH (control pH 7.5, pH 6, pH 5, pH 4) on the survival, growth, and shell ...

Sensory systems and feeding behaviour of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and the marine whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei
(Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 2017)
Information on the sensory basis of shrimp feeding provides the means for assessment of the effectiveness of food items in terms of smell, taste, size, and colour. This chapter summarizes information about the sensory basis ...

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) ...

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 ...

Colour preference and colour vision of the larvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper reports on the innate colour preference and colour vision in the hatchery-reared larvae (10–16 days old, stages IV–VIII) of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man) based on their response ...

Effect of colored light regimes on the stress response and RNA/DNA ratio of juvenile red sea bream, Pagrus major
(Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 2017)
We hypothesized that fish with red-sensitive retina would be stressed by red light and thus inhibited in somatic growth. Red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles (total length =3 cm) with red-sensitive retina were chosen to ...

Limit of colour vision in dim light in larvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Colour vision depends on sufficient ambient light and becomes ineffective at a particular low light intensity. It is not known how decapod crustaceans see colour in dim light. In the present study we investigated the colour ...
