Around 50% of mangrove loss in the Philippines can be traced to brackishwater pond construction. The decrease in mangroves from 450 000 ha in 1920 to 132 500 ha in 1990 has been accompanied by expansion of culture ponds ...
Interaction between test and reference populations when tilapia strains are compared by the “internal control” technique
(Elsevier, 1990)
Several strains of Oreochromis niloticus, O. mossambicus and their hybrids occur in the Philippines, and others are likely to be introduced or developed locally in the near future. Our objective was to study biological ...

Occurrence and pathology of Penaeus monodon baculovirus infection in hatcheries and ponds in the Philippines
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
Samples from Penaeus monodon hatcheries (2-3 day old larvae or Zoea 1 to 34 day old post larvae or PL<sub>34</sub>) and ponds (15 to 159 days old in the pond) were histologically examined for the presence of eosinophilic ...
Vertical rope cultivation of Gracilaria (Rhodophyta) using vegetative fragments
(Walter de Gruyter, 1990)
Preliminary field culture of Gracilaria using vegetative fragments inserted between braids of ropes suspended vertically inside a floating cage was undertaken to assess the daily growth rate and monthly yield as influenced ...
Effects of antioxidants on feed quality and growth of Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1992)
Four practical diets were formulated to contain 0.05%, of the following antioxidants: butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA), propyl gallate (PG) or ethoxyquin (ETHQ). A fifth diet, with no added ...
The interactive effect of some environmental factors on the growth, agar yield and quality of Gracilariopsis bailinae (Zhang et Xia) cultured in tanks
(Walter de Gruyter, 1997)
The single and interactive effects of light and temperature, salinity, and urea enrichment on the growth and agar yield and quality of Gracilariopsis bailinae were determined under indoor and outdoor tank conditions. Culture ...
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 ...
