The length-weight relationship, food habits and condition factor of wild juvenile milkfish in Sri Lanka
(Elsevier, 1986)
Wild juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos) were obtained from Negombo lagoon in September 1984. Thirty-one specimens (92–186 mm FL) had a fork length-body weight relationship of log W = −5.6083 + 3.2598 log L. These fish were ...
Histological observations on the rearing of milkfish, Chanos chanos, fry using different diets
(Blackwell Publishing, 1986)
Six different diets, commonly used in the Philippines for rearing milkfish, Chanos chanos, try, were tested by means of growth, survival and histology. These diets included:
a) live food (Artemia nauplii); b) two different ...
Comparison of the silo and broadcast methods of applying organic fertilizer in milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forsskal), ponds
(Elsevier, 1988)
The efficacy of the silo and broadcast methods of applying organic fertilizers in ponds for the production of pond-floor, microbenthic biological complex, a natural food source known as lablab, was tested in 1-ha ponds, ...
Artificial diets for milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forsskal), fry reared in seawater
(Elsevier, 1988)
Milkfish fry obtained from the wild (0.009 g body weight, 10 mm total length) were stocked at 200 individuals in each of 18 fiberglass tanks containing 30 l of filtered aerated seawater. Mean salinity and temperature were ...
The effect of stunting on growth, survival, and net production of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 1988)
The seasonal abundance of milkfish fry in the Philippines has led to the practice of buying a sufficient supply during the peak season to compensate for the shortage during slack periods. Fry that are not immediately grown ...
Effects of temperature on behavior, growth, development and survival in young milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal)
(Elsevier, 1983)
Effects of three temperature treatments on activity, feeding, growth, development and survival of young milkfish (Chanos chanos) were investigated. Low temperature (<22.6°C) and hypoxial condition (<1 ppm O2) decreased ...
The effect of dietary protein-energy levels on growth and metabolism of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 1988)
<ol><li>Groups of milkfish juveniles (mean weight, 2.8 g) were fed diets containing white fishmeal and gelatin with varying protein-energy to total metabolizable energy (PE:TME) ratios.</li><li>Amino acids were incorporated ...
Studies on the digestive proteases of the milkfish Chanos chanos
(Springer, 1982)
The protease activity of crude extracts from various organs of the digestive tract of two groups of milkfish was determined. One group (Sample A) derived their food from ponds that had predominantly unicellular algae while ...
Effect of different stocking combinations on growth, production and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) and prawn (Penaeus monodon Fabricius) in polyculture in brackishwater ponds
(Elsevier, 1981)
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) and prawn (Penaeus monodon) were stocked in 500 m2 earthen ponds from 12 November 1978 to 15 March 1979 at the following combinations: 2000 milkfish fingerlings per ha (treatment I); 2000 milkfish ...
Growth of juvenile milkfish Chanos chanos in a natural habitat
(Inter Research, 1985)
A population of juvenile milkfish, C. chanos (Forsskaal) was studied in a small mangrove lagoon in Naburut Island, central Philippines. Several size groups of milkfish occurred in the lagoon as a result of its periodic ...
