Mangroves and shrimp pond culture effluents in Aklan, Panay Is., central Philippines
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
The capacity of a natural mangrove system in Ibajay, Aklan province, central Philippines to process shrimp pond culture effluents was assessed through analysis of mangrove community structure and 24-hr monitoring of water ...
Feeding regimes in relation to reproduction and survival of ablated Penaeus monodon
(University of the Philippines at Los Baños, 1979)
Pond-reared P. monodon were stocked in four 12-cu m flowthrough maturation tanks at 25 males and 50 females per tank; females were unilaterally ablated. The combinations of feeds for the morning and afternoon rations were ...
