Overcoming the impacts of aquaculture on the coastal zone
(Elsevier, 2006)
The wide variety of goods and services provided by the coastal zone (food, medicines, nutrient recycling, control of flooding, typhoon protection) account for its many uses (fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, human ...
Growth and agar quality of Gracilaria heteroclada (Zhang et Xia) grown in a filter tank
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2006)
Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang et Xia was grown in filter tanks to determine the growth, agar quality and uptake pattern of nitrogen and to observe the water quality in recirculating water system with seaweed.
Rapid uptake ...
Price relationships in Philippine milkfish markets: Univariate and causality analysis
(International Association of Aquaculture Economics and Management (IAAEM), 2006)
Uncertainties and lack of information on milkfish product prices, along with production-related problems with inputs, generally constrain efficient resource use in milkfish grow-out operations. Milkfish growers complain ...

An assessment of the extensive fringing reefs surrounding Mararison lsland, Culasi, Antique was undertaken in 1994 to 1996 and in 1998 to provide scientific basis for management and enhancement of the island s resources ...
Immunolocalisation of nervous necrosis virus indicates vertical transmission in hatchery produced Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer Bloch)—A case study
(Elsevier, 2006)
A probable vertical mode of piscine nodavirus transmission is reported in the present investigation based on a case of nodavirus associated larval mortalities in hatchery produced Asian sea bass. Polyclonal rabbit anti-SJNNV ...
Microsatellite–centromere mapping in the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) by half-tetrad analysis using induced triploid families
(Elsevier, 2006)
Genetic improvement of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) can be achieved by artificially controlling its life cycle using recent advances in reproductive biology. In this study, we developed 43 microsatellite loci to ...
Air breathing of aquatic burrow-dwelling eel goby, Odontamblyopus lacepedii (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae)
(Company of Biologists, 2006)
Odontamblyopus lacepedii is an eel goby that inhabits both coastal waters and intertidal zones in East Asia, including Japan. The fish excavates burrows in mudflats but, unlike the sympatric amphibious mudskippers, it does ...
Are mangroves worth replanting? The direct economic benefits of a community-based reforestation project
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)
Competition for coastal land use and overexploitation have reduced or degraded mangrove coverage throughout much of their distribution, especially in South-east Asia. Timber production was the initial motivation for early ...
Presence of snapper, seabass, and siganid inhibits growth of luminous bacteria in a simulated shrimp culture system
(Elsevier, 2006)
The antibacterial effect of the presence of Tilapia hornorum against luminous bacteria in shrimp culture has been reported. This study investigates how the presence of commercially valued marine species such as seabass, ...
Seasonal abundance, distribution and recruitment of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in replanted mangroves
(Elsevier, 2006)
The abundance and distribution of mud crabs were studied in a replanted mangrove forest in Buswang, Aklan, Philippines. Two fishing gears, lift nets and bamboo traps, were used to monitor relative abundance of Scylla spp. ...
