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 ...
Transport of Scylla serrata megalopae at various densities and durations
(Elsevier, 2000)
The optimal conditions for transport of Scylla serrata megalopae were determined. Loading densities of 50, 100 and 150 ind l<sup>−1</sup> of hatchery-reared megalopae were studied over a 6-h simulated transport, including ...
Amino acid profiles in the midgut, ovary, developing eggs and zoea of the mud crab, Scylla serrata
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 2004)
Culture of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, is beset by low and inconsistent survival of larvae in spite of the high fecundity of crab breeders. The nutrition of the embryo and pre-feeding zoea depends on what is stored in ...
Formalin as an alternative to trifluralin as prophylaxis against fungal infection in mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
The toxicity of formalin and trifluralin to the larval stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata was compared in a static bioassay. Prophylactic doses of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 μg L<sup>−1</sup> formalin and 0.05, 0.1, ...
Seed production of Charybdis feriatus (Linnaeus)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Charybdis feriatus (Linnaeus) were investigated to identify suitable techniques for broodstock management and seed production. Likewise, factors such as ablation, water depth and ...
Acute toxicity of nitrite to mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Early larval stages of mud crab Scylla serrata were exposed to different concentrations of nitrite (40, 80 and 160 mg L<sup>−1</sup> and a control, without added nitrite) and three salinity levels (25, 30 and 35 g ...
Pond culture of mud crab Scylla serrata (Forskal) fed formulated diet with or without vitamin and mineral supplements
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)
The effects of three diets (Diet 1 – with vitamin and mineral supplements, Diet 2 – without vitamin and mineral supplements, and Diet 3 – fish bycatch) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, survival, feed ...
Culture of Scylla serrata megalops in brackishwater ponds
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)
Three- to five-day old hatchery-reared megalops (4.0 to 6.4 mg body weight) of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, were cultured to the juvenile stage in 20 m<sup>2</sup> net cages installed in brackishwater nursery ponds. To ...
The effects of diets on reproductive performance of eyestalk ablated and intact mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2000)
The reproductive performance of female mud crabs was evaluated as affected by various diets. Dietary treatments were as follows: D<sub>1</sub> — natural diet (mussel meat, squid, trash fish); D<sub>2</sub> — combination ...
Production economics and marketing of mud crabs in the Philippines
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)
The current price of mud crabs in the local market is relatively higher than fish and mollusks and is projected to increase in the world market. This increasing trend in domestic and export markets is expected to step-up ...
