Determination of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate assimilation by postlarval whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei using stable 13C isotope tracing
(Wiley, 2021-02)
A preliminary study was conducted to demonstrate fate of the bacterial storage compound poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) once ingested and degraded in vivo in crustaceans. The 2% supplementation of <sup>13</sup>C-labeled ...
Assessment of tilapia-freshwater prawn co-culture schemes in tanks and lake-based cages for increased farm production
(MDPI, 2021-12-08)
The technical viability of tilapia (I-ExCEL strain Nile or red) and giant freshwater prawn (GFP) co-culture in cages-within-tanks was evaluated while appropriate feeding protocols for tilapia-GFP co-culture in cages in a ...
Utilization of sodium bicarbonate as anesthetic during routine husbandry activities in ornamental fish
(IOP Publishing, 2021-11)
The tropical ornamental fish industry requires the stock to be reared in captivity before being sold; thus, exposing them to various handling- and transport-related stressors. A number of commercially available anesthetics ...
Rearing silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Teleostei: Terapontidae) larvae using euryhaline rotifers as starter food
(College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2021-12)
The silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus is an important but dwindling freshwater food commodity in Philippine freshwater habitats. The influence of feeding regimes on growth performance and survival of first-feeding ...
Biofloc technology (BFT): A promising approach for the intensive production of ornamental fish
(Bioflux (Bioflux SRL), 2021)
Biofloc technology (BFT) is an approach in the rearing of fish and shrimp as a means to support intensive culture, maintain optimum water quality, recycle the nutrients and reduce feed costs. The technology is primarily ...
Improved survival and growth of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus early juveniles through co‐feeding with Artemia and commercial feeds
(Wiley, 2021-12)
This study examined the effects of co-feeding Artemia and commercial feeds on survival, growth and fatty acid composition of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus early juveniles. Triplicate groups of 36 days post hatch ...
Distribution of the tropical seaweed crops Eucheuma spp. and Kappaphycus spp. inside and outside of their native range
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
Seaweed aquaculture is a fast-growing industry worldwide and has the potential to change the seascape of coastal regions, including the movement of species outside their native range. Two of the crops with the highest ...
Developing a self-sufficient Philippine milkfish industry through value chain analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02-15)
The Philippine milkfish industry has been dependent on the importation of juveniles for grow-out ever since the decline of wild fry catch and with inadequate supply from local hatcheries. However, self-sufficiency is ...
Dietary taurine in practical diet for two sizes of snubnose silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii
(Wiley, 2021-09-27)
Two separate feeding experiments determined taurine requirement levels in diets for growth of two sizes of snubnose silver pompano. The first experiment was conducted for 14 weeks using pompano with average weight of 0.4 ...
Numerical study of diurnal tidal currents on the Pacific shelf off the southern coast of Hokkaido, Japan
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
We developed a triply nested, high-resolution (1/50°) ocean model to reproduce tides and tidal currents under realistic oceanographic conditions, mainly on the Pacific shelf around Hokkaido, Japan. The model reproduced ...
