Mangroves and shrimp pond culture effluents in Aklan, Panay Is., central Philippines
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
The capacity of a natural mangrove system in Ibajay, Aklan province, central Philippines to process shrimp pond culture effluents was assessed through analysis of mangrove community structure and 24-hr monitoring of water ...
Evaluation of hatchery-based enhancement of the mud crab, Scylla spp., fisheries in mangroves: comparison of species and release strategies
(CSIRO Publishing, 2009)
Ranching, stock enhancement and restocking are management approaches involving the release of wild or hatchery-bred organisms to enhance, conserve or restore fisheries. The present study, conducted from April 2002 to ...
Assessment of the effectiveness of mangrove rehabilitation using exploited and non-exploited indicator species
(Elsevier, 2007)
Mangrove forests have been cleared at an alarming rate over the last century to allow space for settlements, agriculture and aquaculture and are still used today for fuel and construction. However, in the last few decades ...
Cage culture of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) at different stocking densities in a shallow eutrophic lake
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)
Postlarvae of Litopenaeus vannamei were acclimated and stocked in lake-based cages at the following stocking densities: 10, 20, 30 and 40 shrimp m<sup>−2</sup>. Another set of shrimp was stocked in concrete tanks as reference ...
Presence of snapper, seabass, and siganid inhibits growth of luminous bacteria in a simulated shrimp culture system
(Elsevier, 2006)
The antibacterial effect of the presence of Tilapia hornorum against luminous bacteria in shrimp culture has been reported. This study investigates how the presence of commercially valued marine species such as seabass, ...
Prevalence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in wild shrimp Penaeus monodon in the Philippines
(Inter Research, 2007)
Prevalence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methodology on DNA extracted from the gills of wild black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon collected from 7 sampling sites in ...
Seasonal abundance, distribution and recruitment of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in replanted mangroves
(Elsevier, 2006)
The abundance and distribution of mud crabs were studied in a replanted mangrove forest in Buswang, Aklan, Philippines. Two fishing gears, lift nets and bamboo traps, were used to monitor relative abundance of Scylla spp. ...
Baseline assessment of fisheries for three species of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in the mangroves of Ibajay, Aklan, Philippines
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
Stock enhancement through habitat restoration and habitat release have both been considered as approaches to the management of declining Scylla spp. Prior to stock enhancement trials, the present study was conducted to ...
Sea lice (Copepoda, Caligidae) parasitic on marine cultured and wild fishes of the Philippines
(The Fisheries Society of Taiwan, 2004)
Four species of sea lice were found parasitic on ten species of marine fishes either cultured in the coastal ponds or occurring in the sea water supply canals in the Philippines. They are: Caligus epidemicus Hewitt, 1971 ...
Size and diel differences in activity patterns of Metapenaeus ensis, Penaeus latisulcatus and P. merguiensis
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)
The nursery function of mangroves as shelter has been postulated to explain the positive correlation between shrimp catches and mangrove area. This study was undertaken to document shelter use and other activities in ...
