On predicting the setting season of the oyster Crassostrea iredalei in Himamaylan River, Negros Occidental
(University of the Philippines at Los Baños, 1983)
A spatfall forecasting program in April-November 1981 suggests that daily counts of larvae in plankton samples may be used to forecast spatfall of C. iredalei . Counts of at least five ready-to-settle larvae per 100-liter ...
Participation of women in oyster and mussel farming in Western Visayas, Philippines
(Blackwell Publishing, 1995)
This paper provides baseline information on the involvement of women in small-scale coastal aquaculture such as the farming of slipper oyster, Crassostrea iredalei (Faustino 1933), and green mussel, Perna viridis (Linnaeus ...
Salinity effect on the embryonic development, larval growth and survival at metamorphosis of Placuna placenta Linnaeus (1758)
(Elsevier, 2002)
The effects of salinity on the embryonic development, growth, and survival of D-larvae to plantigrade as well as settling in <i>Placuna placenta</i> were studied. Embryos were developed to D-larvae of shell length (SL) ...
Molluscan aquaculture in the Philippines: A review
(Springer, 2023-04-25)
Molluscs are among the most valuable resources of the Philippines, an archipelagic country of 7,107 islands bounded by 36,000 km of coastline and 26.6 million ha of coastal waters. In 2020, production from mussels and ...
Economic analysis of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters (Crassostrea iredalei) in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)
The cost efficiency of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters are compared. Annual costs and returns data for both methods were obtained from a socioeconomic survey conducted in 1991 at the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC/AQD). On average, 14 kg m<sup>−2</sup> (shell-on) and 22 kg m<sup>−2</sup> (shell-on) were produced using the stake and rack-hanging methods, respectively. The translog cost function for 58 oyster farms was estimated using iterative seemingly unrelated regression (SUR). Statistical analysis indicates that the higher production from the rack-hanging method is significantly different (α=0.10) from the production using the stake method. The cost-efficient method varied based on production levels. At output levels less that 9044 kg (shell-on), the rack-hanging method had lower average cost per unit, and for higher production levels the stake method had the lower average costs. Similar conclusions were drawn from the marginal cost analysis. Results imply when production is less than 9044 kg, then the most efficient technology is the rack-hanging method and if production is greater than 9044 kg, the most efficient method is the stake method....
