(Taylor & Francis, 1993)
The paper reviews and evaluates shrimp pond culture in the Philippines and its ecological and socioeconomic effects. The intertwined histories of the country's mangrove forests and culture ponds are treated in depth; ...
Successive spawning of grouper, Epinephelus suillus (Valenciennes), in a tank and a floating net cage
(Elsevier, 1993)
Wild Epinephelus suillus (Valenciennes) were collected in 1989 to early 1990. To monitor natural spawning in captivity, 6 mature females (3.5–5.0 kg) and 4 mature males (7–12 kg) were transferred to a 4.6×4.6×2 m concrete ...
Nursery rearing of Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) using suspended (hapa) net enclosures installed in a pond
(Elsevier, 1993)
The use of suspended (hapa) nets as nursery enclosures for shrimp fry was tested. In the first trial, four stocking densities (72, 144, 288, and 432 fry m<sup>−3</sup>) of P. monodon fry (PL<sub>20</sub>, body weight = 8 ...
Survival and metamorphosis of Penaeus monodon larvae at different salinity levels
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1993)
The survival rates of Penaeus monodon nauplii, protozoea and mysis abruptly exposed to salinity of 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, 40 and 50 ppt were determined and compared. Larvae kept at 32 ppt, the spawning or initial rearing ...
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. ...
Requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids
(American Society for Nutrition, 1993)
The dietary requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids were determined in a series of experiments. The fish (< or = 8.0 g) were reared in fiber glass tanks provided with flow-through ...
Food choice by free-living stages of the tropical freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus (Parastacidae: Decapoda)
(Elsevier, 1993)
Food choice by Cherax quadricarinatus was measured from video recordings of the time spent feeding on decayed plant material and zooplankton. Crayfish within the size range 20–75 mm spent a significantly longer time feeding ...
Thyroxine injection of female rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) broodstock: changes in thyroid hormone levels in plasma, eggs, and yolk-sac larvae, and its effect on larval growth and survival
(Elsevier, 1993)
The thyroid hormone levels in female rabbitfish, Siganus guttatus, plasma, eggs, and yolk-sac larvae were measured before and after thyroxine (T<sub>4</sub>) injection in female spawners at doses of 1, 10, and 100 μg ...
Growth, daily ration, and gastric evacuation rates of milkfish (Chanos chanos) fed supplemental diet and natural food
(Blackwell Publishing, 1993)
Growth, daily ration, and gastric evacuation rates of milkfish (Chanos chanos) that fed on natural food and supplement diet were evaluated. Milkfish fingerlings (5.5g) were stocked at 1.5 fish/m<sup>2</sup> in ten 12 ...
Effects of long-term exposure to a mixture of cadmium, zinc, and inorganic mercury on two strains of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
(Springer Verlag, 1993)
Tilapia are an economically important group of fish. They have a short generation period of 3-6 months, and exhibit successive breeding. In addition, their fast growth, herbivorous or omnivorous feeding habits, high food ...
