Evolution of genome size within the genus Haliotis (Vetigastropoda: Haliotidae)
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2018)
Genome size (C-value) and the percentage of adenine and thymine nucleotides in the genome (AT content) are fundamental characteristics of every species, and very important parameters in molecular cytogenetic and phylogenic ...
The sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines
(高知大学大学院黒潮圏海洋科学研究科, 2018)
This paper presents the nature of sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines with information on gathering practices, commonly traded species and secondary accounts on wild populations. Current issues on sea cucumber ...
Preliminary findings on supplementation of snapper fry, Lutjanus sp. with DHA-rich thraustochytrid strain, Schizochytrium sp. LEY7 showed increased growth, survival and robustness
(Southern Leyte State University, 2018)
In this study, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the beneficial effects of an indigenous DHA-rich thraustochytrid strain, Schizochytrium sp. LEY7 as supplement for snapper fry Lutjanus sp. using a ...
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 ...
Characterisation of Vibrio isolates recovered from the eyes of cage-cultured pompano (Trachinotus blochii) infested with caligid parasites (Lepeophtheirus spinifer)
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2018)
Exophthalmia was documented among sea cage-cultured pompano (Trachinotus blochii) broodstocks with caligid parasite (Lepeophtheirus spinifer) infestation in the Philippines. Following sequencing, and based on the results ...
Dietary onion or ginger modulates the stress response and susceptibility to Vibrio harveyi JML1 infection in brown-marbled grouper Epinephelus fuscoguttatus juveniles
(American Fisheries Society, 2018)
Onion Allium cepa and ginger Zingiber officinale have health‐promoting properties that qualify them as functional foods. The effect of repeated acute stressors was examined in juvenile Brown‐marbled Grouper Epinephelus ...
Genetic assessment of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) stocks based on novel short tandem repeats for marker-aided broodstock management
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)
Milkfish hatchery broodstock are either from on-grown wild-caught or hatchery-produced fry/juveniles. To determine if a marker-assisted management scheme can be formulated for improved milkfish hatchery production, milkfish ...
Status of sea cucumber fishery and populations across sites with different levels of management in Palawan, Philippines
(Elsevier, 2018)
This study was conducted to investigate the sea cucumber fishery and compare populations between exploited and unexploited sites. Three islands were selected, the Arrecife Island as the unexploited site and the Johnson and ...
Larval rearing of mud crab (Scylla): What lies ahead
(Elsevier, 2018)
The increasing global demand for mud crabs (genus Scylla) and threats to the wild populations highlight the urgency of fully rearing them in captivity. Despite considerable progress in mud crab production, most crab farms ...
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) ...
