The exploitation of horse mussels Modiolus metcalfei (Hanley, 1843) in Dumangas, Iloilo has been going on for decades, yet effective fisheries management remains hindered by the poor understanding of the fishery. A value ...
Assessment of tilapia-freshwater prawn co-culture schemes in tanks and lake-based cages for increased farm production
(MDPI, 2021-12-08)
The technical viability of tilapia (I-ExCEL strain Nile or red) and giant freshwater prawn (GFP) co-culture in cages-within-tanks was evaluated while appropriate feeding protocols for tilapia-GFP co-culture in cages in a ...

(IOP Publishing, 2021-11)
The tropical ornamental fish industry requires the stock to be reared in captivity before being sold; thus, exposing them to various handling- and transport-related stressors. A number of commercially available anesthetics ...
Seasonal population dynamics of Lepeophtheirus spinifer and Neobenedenia sp. coinfecting snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii) breeders in marine cages in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2022)
Studies on the biology and ecology of sea lice are lacking in tropical regions such as in Southeast Asia where finfish cage farming has grown dramatically in the past decades. This study investigated the seasonal population ...
Effects of exogenous hormones and broodstock age on the spawning response of captive silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus
(Wiley, 2022)
Evaluation of appropriate hormone and ideal broodstock age for optimal breeding efficiency may ensure the production of good quality eggs and larvae in the hatchery. In this study, the spawning response of captive silver ...
The influence of monosex rearing on gonad maturation and reproductive behavior of Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus broodstock
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Monosex culture was proven to be an effective rearing method for grow-out, but in a closed-cycle hatchery, males and females are usually reared communally in tanks until maturation. This study determined the effect of ...
