Small (5–10.9 mm carapace length), medium (11–15.9 mm), and large (16–20.9 mm) juveniles of Metapenaeus anchistus, Metapenaeus sp., Penaeus monodon and P. merguiensis were stocked individually in glass tanks provided with ...
Spawning and larval development of a tropical abalone Haliotis asinina (Linne)
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 1995)
Dessication, thermal shock, ultraviolet-irradiated seawater, and hydrogen peroxide, singly or in combination, failed to induce the tropical abalone, Haliotis asinina to spawn viable number of eggs or sperm. However, natural ...
Economic analysis of prawn (Penaeus monodon) culture in the Philippines, I. Hatchery operations

High prices of prawn (Penaeus monodon) fry, profitability of hatchery operations, and a low cost hatchery design introduced by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center attracted millions of dollars of investments ...
The effect of tank color and rotifer density on rotifer ingestion, growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1995)
The effect of tank color on rotifer ingestion, early growth and survival of milkfish larvae was assessed. The larvae were stocked at 30/L in 200-L fiberglass tanks coated black or unpainted (tan). Larvae were fed rotifers ...
Cortisol stimulates the size and number of mitochondrion-rich cells in the yolk-sac membrane of embryos and larvae of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in vitro and in vivo
(John Wiley and Sons, 1995)
The effect of cortisol and thyroid hormones on the activity of mitochondrion-rich (MR) cells in the yolk-sac membrane of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) embryos and larvae was investigated. MR cells were identified by ...
Effect of dietary protein to energy ratios on growth, survival, and body composition of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer
(Elsevier, 1995)
The optimum protein-to-energy (P/E) ratio for juvenile sea bass (body weight, 1.34 ± 0.01 g) was determined using practical diets in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment. Three protein levels (35, 42.5 or 50%) and three lipid ...
Mangroves and brackishwater pond culture in the Philippines
